Area-specific transfer of advisors CCAP MA

Students are assigned a primary advisor (or co-advisors) upon admission. In rare cases, a student may wish to change their primary advisor (or co-advisors). The decision to become a student’s primary advisor (or co-advisor) in this circumstance will be at the discretion of the faculty member(s) being asked to become the student’s primary advisor (or co-advisors). If a faculty member agrees to become the student’s new primary advisor (or co-advisor), then typically a new advisory committee will be constituted under the direction of the newly appointed advisor. Normally, at least one of the members of the existing advisory committee will continue as a member of the new advisory committee. The decision to continue as an advisory committee member is at the discretion of the faculty member. As a reminder, students can seek feedback from the CCAP representative to the Graduate Program Committee, Graduate Program Coordinator, or, if needed, the Department Chair, for support.
