Specialty Add/Drop
This form is required for students who wish to either add or delete a specialty from their academic plan.
The request to add a specialty is contingent on cohort size and availability, as well as the student’s good academic standing, professionalism, and, in some cases, prior experience.
Students may be removed from a specialty at any time by the faculty due to academic or professionalism concerns.
Process:
To initiate the request, the student should first consult with their Academic Advisor regarding the change and potential implications to their academic plan. The student will then need to complete the Specialty Add/Drop form. The form will be routed to the student’s Academic Advisor for approval, and then to the specific Specialty Certificate Director for approval. The Specialty Certificate Director may request additional information or an interview with the student before approving or declining the request.
