Graduate Admissions wants to create new verbiage in the catalog that clairfies graduate students can only pursue one graduate degree at a time and the process for a graduate student to change their program of study.

Proposal for Change of Graduate Program
Students may only pursue one graduate degree at UNA at a given time unless it is a university-approved joint-curriculum degree program. Graduate applicants previously admitted to the university may request to change graduate programs by submitting a new graduate application (una.edu/graduate). The addition of a graduate certificate/micro-credential to a graduate degree program must be approved by the department chair or program coordinator. Any exceptions to this policy require the approval of the deans of the colleges.
