Concentration Change Requests
Students starting in the fall semester can request a change in their Concentration before classes begin. The deadline to request a change in Concentration for the summer is June 15. The faculty program chair will decide whether to approve or deny each request. When submitting the form, students must provide a reason for the change, highlighting the academic and career benefits.
Students must indicate whether they have completed or intend to complete the necessary prerequisites for the Concentration they want to switch to. It’s important to note that students cannot start in the fall semester with more than one missing prerequisite. Priority will be given to students who have already fulfilled the prerequisite requirements for the Concentration they wish to switch to, although other factors may also be considered.
Students requesting a change in their Concentration by the June 15 deadline will receive a decision by the week of July 15.
Add the MEM or MF Degree
Students interested in adding the Master of Forestry or Master of Environmental Management degree may do so before or after starting their studies.

Enrolled students must complete a different form once the school year begins. The faculty program chair determines approvals or denials.
