How to change your program for Semester 2 study

If you’re applying to change your program for Semester 2, you must ensure the new program has a mid-year / Semester 2 intake.

Search for your program to check if it has a Semester 2 intake.

How to change a program for Semester 2 depends on whether you were enrolled in Semester 1 of the same year.

Procedures apply to both single programs and dual programs.
