Program Change Information

Program Change Information

There are three ways students can change into a different Academic Program.

  1. Program Change for students recently admitted to CBU who have not started CBU Courses.
  2. Program Change for current CBU students who have completed CBU courses in their current program.
  3. Program Change for students to declare an Area of Study (major/concentration/academic field) within your current program.

A program change request must be made using the Service Request Form. Students need to follow the steps below and apply online. All students will require advising after a program change is approved. Therefore, students will not be able to register for classes until advising has occurred. A program change may affect student fees. International Application Deadlines may apply to program change approvals.  In addition, some programs may require students to complete a minimum period in their current program before a program change will be approved. Program information and steps to change your program are provided below.

STEPS TO CHANGE YOUR PROGRAM

Reminder – Completion of a Program Change form does not confirm that your program change has been accepted.

Program Change will only be approved when:  

  1. Student meets all admission criteria
  2. A program change may affect your fees.
  3. There is seat availability
  4. Student is in good academic and financial standing
  5. Students are only eligible for one program change per academic year
  6. Students will need to be re-advised in their new program of study before they can register for classes
  7. No applications will be considered after:
  8. Oct 31 for the Winter Term (January Start)
  9. March 31 for Spring/Summer Session (May Start)
  10. July 31 for Fall Term (September Start)
  11. Certain programs have earlier deadlines for new transfers than others.
  12. During peak periods, there will be higher than normal processing times (September, January, May)
  13. Programs requiring departmental approval may have longer than normal processing times
  14. International Application Deadlines may apply to program change approvals.

Even if students meet these requirements, there’s no guarantee that the program change request will be approved. Some programs require students to complete a minimum period in their current program before a program change will be approved.
