Modify Your Plan of Study

Occasionally students find it necessary to change some aspect of their POS. For example, a student may be unable to enroll in a course listed on the POS because of a schedule conflict or course cancelation. In other cases, the student's program emphasis or professional interests may change. In this case, some of the listed courses are no longer appropriate. Sometimes, it may be necessary to change the members of the advisory committee. You should discuss all changes to your plan of study with your research advisor before submitting an electronic change form.
