Students are responsible for reading the catalog, meeting the degree requirements for their concentration, and adhering to the deadlines published in the school’s Academic Calendar. Students should consult the SPH Catalog for specific information on the use of transfer credit and how these credits may be applied toward the completion of the DrPH degree. Official transcripts for transfer work must be filed with the School of Public Health before courses can be approved. Once complete, students should obtain their Advisor’s signature and return this document to the SPH Office of Admission & Academic Services. Students should keep a copy of this plan for your records.
Students must work with their academic advisor when completing this form. If the student wishes to substitute a core, required, or an elective course not listed in the degree requirements, a “Request for Modification to Degree Plan” form must be completed by the student, submitted to the Academic Advisor for approval, and provided to the Office of Admission and Academic Services. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate with his or her advisor at least once during each semester to review the student’s academic progress.
