Internal Transfers

Many students change programs during their study and for many reasons.

You may decide on a different career path or interest or your program may not be what you thought it would be. Perhaps you want a second try at getting into a program that you missed out on the first time around. You can even add a program to your current study load and get a Double Degree.

Please read below under ‘Important information’ for further details.

Whatever your situation is, by talking to us, we can help you understand your options.

Applications for domestic students for internal transfer into a new undergraduate program (or concurrent programs) for Semester 1, 2025 (and Trimester 1/2, 2025) are now open. Please read below under ‘Important Information’ for further details.
