Change of Program of Study

A change of program of study can be made only after discussion with an academic advisor or counselor and Financial Aid, if applicable. The change of program of study may result in the loss of credit hours towards degree completion. Students wishing to change their program of study must complete a Change in Program of Study Form obtained from the Registrar’s Office have it signed by the appropriate Program Chairperson or Advisor.

Health Science programs and BLET are special admissions programs which require a new application. Students must meet admission and graduation requirements in effect at the time of the program change. The official change of program of study will be effective the first day of the semester following the date of change.

Multiple Programs of Study

A student may declare a second major while still working toward the student’s original program of study by completing a "Change of Program of Study" form and submitting it to the Registrar’s office. The student must meet all admissions and academic program requirements to graduate from the second major. Courses which apply appropriately to more than one degree, diploma, or certificate program may be counted toward the completion of both programs, but the specific requirements of each must be met. Students will be required to obtain a signature from both program advisors to add a second program of study. The student will also retain both as active advisors.

In the rare case that a student requests a third program of study, the request will be reviewed by a special committee of a Financial Aid staff person, counselor, and applicable Division Dean. Only upon approval will the student be allowed a third program of study. The student will retain all three active advisors.

Students receiving any type of Veteran’s Educational Assistance must notify the College's VA Certifying Official of any program of study change or additional major. Visit the Veterans Services webpage for additional information on the Carteret CC's VA program.
