Changing your program or faculty
How to request a change to your program or faculty depends on what kind of student you are (new, current or returning), so read the procedures below carefully.
New undergraduate students
If you wish to change the faculty to which you have applied or been admitted, submit a request in writing, by email or by fax to Undergraduate Admissions. You will only be considered for a new program provided space is available and the application deadlines for the new program have not yet passed. These changes may cause you to forfeit your registration if you have already registered in program specific courses.
Please note that if the program in which you wish to enroll has restricted admission (e.g. Music, Physical Education) you should also contact the department or school involved.

Current students
