For students transferring from a master’s to a doctoral program (with no break in enrollment), or from one doctoral program to another, please input requested limits on the “Change Major or Degree Aim” online form. [If there is a break in enrollment, a General Petition for readmission is needed]
For students being readmitted to a doctoral program, please specify the requested limits on the General Petition form.
If additional room is needed to provide support for the requested limits, please submit a letter (via email) from the student's faculty advisor, endorsed by the department chair, to the GEPA PhD Graduate Academic Affairs Advisor. Please provide as much detail as possible to support the need for additional time.
