Requesting Application Change

Deferring an Application

Awaiting Decision Applicants

• Submitted applications awaiting a decision are limited to a one-time change request for the program, level, campus, and/or term options. This one-time change request may include multiple changes (program, level, campus, and term).

Admitted Applicants

• Admitted applicants are limited to a one-time change request for the program, level, campus, and/or term options. This one-time change request may include multiple changes (program, level, campus, and term) and must be submitted to the admitting graduate program for approval. The admitting program will notify the Office of Graduate Education if the change request is approved.
• If an admitted student is requesting a change to the semester of matriculation (deferral), the admitted student must first consult with the admitting graduate program to determine if the program will admit students for the new semester. Admitted students must submit deferral requests to the admitting graduate program by the semester's Registration Schedule Change Deadline. This deadline is the 'Last day to register, make schedule changes, and/or drop courses without a 'W' grade,' as established by the Registrar's office. Go to Calendars | Registrar's Office | Georgia Tech for deadline information.  This request must be for a term no more than three semesters from the original semester of matriculation. Please note that a program change requests must be for another program within the same school unit.

Awaiting Decision and Admitted Applicants

• If an applicant does not request a deferral by the semester's Registration Schedule Change Deadline, they must submit a new application and application fee for the future semester.
• If an application has previously been changed, the applicant may request an additional change if the applicant is on active duty in the military, experiencing immigration delays, or has a medical emergency. Otherwise, the applicant will be required to submit a new application and pay the application fee if the applicant wants to be considered for admission.

Denied Applicants

• Applicants who are denied admission are not eligible for a change request and must submit a new application with the required application fee to be considered for admission to a new program, level, campus, and/or term option; the application fee is non-transferrable.
