Transferring from Another Degree Program at Purdue

A student who 1) has established a graduate academic record at Purdue University (WL), 2) has current eligibility to register in a graduate degree program, and 3) wishes to transfer to the EEE graduate degree program needs to submit a completed Request for Transfer of Department (G.S. Form 17) to the Graduate School.

International students who wish to transfer from one department to another must check with the Office of International Students and Scholars to determine if their visa status will be affected by the transfer. All original admissions packet materials and other records (i.e., student transcripts) held in the initial department must be made available to the EEE graduate program for review (i.e., transcripts, letters of recommendation). EEE will accept transfer students on the following conditions:

• The student is in good standing in their current graduate program.

• The chair of the graduate committee approves the transfer after reviewing the admissions packet and after discussions with the academic unit the student is transferring from.

• A faculty member in EEE is willing to serve as the major professor. If the transfer student is a PhD candidate, good faith efforts will be made to financially support the student.

If a student completes a graduate degree in one department and wishes to seek an additional graduate degree in another department, a new application is not required.
