Learn everything you need to know about changing your program. You can cancel your application if you no longer plan to attend, pursue multiple programs at a time or talk to an advisor about modifying your current program.

Apply to a Different Program

To apply to a different program, you must submit a new application. The online application allows you to save your work as you complete it and ensures fast, secure delivery to our office.

Submit an Application

  • Cancel Your Admission Application

    To cancel your admission application or to request discontinuation from an active program, submit the Update Program form.

    Class Registration Status

    Cancellation of an application or discontinuation from a program does not remove a student from classes they are registered for. Students are responsible for dropping classes they no longer want to be enrolled in. Learn more about adding and dropping classes.

    Waitlist or Pre-Program Status

    If you are currently on a waitlist or pre-program status for a degree program, canceling your application will result in forfeiture of your position on the waitlist or cancellation of your pre-program status.

  • Primary Program

    *Formerly known as Multiple Programs*

    You may be active in more than one degree program, but you must declare your primary program. To declare your primary program, and/or remove yourself from an additional program, submit the Update Program form. International Students should consult with Center for International Education prior to submitting this form to ensure their visa status will not be impacted.

    Please be aware that being active in more than one program may have the following impacts:

    • Only your primary program is financial aid eligible. All tuition and fees associated with other programs cannot be included in the calculation of your financial aid award. Pursuing multiple degrees at the same time will not increase your award.
    • To obtain an additional degree, 25% of credits must be unique to each program.

    If you have more questions about your academic plan, please contact your academic advisor at 608.246.6076 to schedule an appointment. If you have more questions about financial aid, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 608.246.6170.
