Transfer within the College of Engineering

Students enrolled in the College of Engineering may petition for transfer to another program (major) within the college at any time. Note that Bioengineering does not currently accept transfer students.

A petition form for interdepartmental transfer is available in 206 Engineering Hall, at your department's Chief Advisors office, or you may click here and print one yourself. The petition consists of three (3) parts which must be completed before submitting the petition for review:

  1. Student Comments: This section is to be completed by the student and should contain the reasons for requesting a change.
  2. Current Department Comments and Recommendation: The student must visit with his/her current department and obtain the comments and recommendations along with a signature of the Chief Advisor.
  3. Prospective Department Comments, Recommendations, and Conditions: The student must visit with the prospective department and obtain the information indicated along with a signature of the Chief Advisor.

Once the three parts have been completed the student should submit the petition to 206 Engineering Hall for final review. Petitions are typically approved for students in good academic standing, with cogent reasons for transfer, and with high potential for success in the new curriculum.
