Request for Change of Department
Email submission to gradsvcs@lsu.edu.
Directions:
1. Visit the department/school to which you want to transfer so that you can discuss degree
requirements and your potential fit in that graduate program.
2. If the department wishes to see your credentials, they should request copies from your
current department or request a copy in writing from The Graduate School. The Graduate
School does not release records directly to you.
3. If the new department approves your transfer, you and the chair of the new department, as
well as your current department chair or graduate advisor, sign this form in the
appropriate spaces. You then send this form to The Graduate School, at gradsvcs@lsu.edu
.
You must submit requests during a regular semester or summer term (not between
semesters) if you want them to be effective for the next semester of enrollment. (Example: A
request to The Graduate School before fall commencement will be effective for the spring
semester.)
4. The Graduate School will process only one request for Change of Degree Program per
semester.
