Change of Campus
College of Health and Human Development Change of Campus Policy
To better inform students, the advising community, faculty, staff, and constituents of the college Change of Campus review procedure, the following information provided is specific to the College of Health and Human Development and linked to the academic programs and policies within the college.
Early changes of campus to University Park are generally based on semester classification and availability of program-essential courses at the campus. The college completes an academic review of each request and approves or denies it based on semester classification and campus course availability. All reviews are academic and consider normal progress toward degree completion.
Change of campus to University Park should generally take place after a student has completed four full-time semesters (or equivalent) at another campus. There are two scenarios under which students can transfer to University Park prior to completing four semesters: 1) if a student is unable to make normal progress toward the degree because the requisite courses are not available at the student's campus, and 2) if the vice-provost for undergraduate education has approved a policy exception for a given program (as is the case for nursing). Absent one of these circumstances, students should not be advised that the department recommends transfer to University Park prior to completion of the fourth semester.
Students requesting an early change to University Park obtain approval from officials at their campus and at University Park in order to process the change. The designated official at the campus determines if it appears to be appropriate for the student to change to University Park based on curriculum recommendations provided by departments/schools. If approved by the campus official, the appropriate dean’s designee completes a thorough review and approves or denies the request. The student is then notified of the decision electronically
