Intra-University Transfers

How Changing Majors Affects Tuition

  • Please note the following impact and timing if you decide to change your major and degree program. The effective term of your Intra-University Transfer (IUT) is set by the IUT admission cycle dates for the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms, as posted on the IUT Dates & Deadlines webpage and the “Expected semester of enrollment” you select on your IUT Application. If your IUT Application is approved for admission, any associated program, major, and tuition changes will be effective at the start of the “Expected semester of enrollment.” Please see the IUT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) webpage for more information.
  • Changes in tuition may result in adjustments to your financial aid, too. Schedule a visit with the Office of Financial Aid to learn more.
  • Mandatory student fees will generally not change when you change school or major.
  • For more information, please see Tuition Guarantee Groups and Tuition & Fee Rate Sheets.
