Switching academic programs in graduate studies is not possible. Students wishing to switch academic programs are required to submit a new admission application and pass the corresponding admission test.

However, students can submit an official request to switch options within the same academic program by filling the specific form for this purpose. This request, signed, should be presented to the Registrar Office.

The approval of the related Faculty/Institute is required. The final decision goes to the Admission Committee.

It is noteworthy that this request will be automatically rejected in case the student is on probation.

The credits of the initial program, related to common and equivalent courses, are validated by the new chosen program.
After changing the option, the average taken into consideration to determine the student’s academic status (probation, obtaining the diploma/degree, etc.) is the Grade Point Average of the Diploma/Degree. On the other hand, the entire academic performance of the student is displayed on the grades transcript.

As for the seniority of the student, it is calculated with the number of validated credits within the framework of the new option. This seniority will be taken into consideration in the deadlines of obtaining the degree/diploma.
