Program Transfer

For information about transferring between programs, please consult the Laney Graduate School Handbook.

  • Students considering a transfer into a GDBBS program should review the GDBBS handbook. GDBBS is an interdisciplinary division of related programs, policies, and mechanisms for moving between the GDBBS programs, which can be found in the GDBBS handbook. 

When considering a program transfer, it is highly recommended to seek advice from each DGS and consult the LGS Assistant Dean of Student Affairs. Their insights can be invaluable before submitting the request for a transfer form.

Students interested in transferring programs will need to complete the following steps:

  1. Meet with the DGS of the Program of Interest to discuss if there is an opportunity to transfer to their program and if the program fits you and your interests.
  2. Schedule a meeting with your current DGS to discuss the transfer. You will need their approval on the LGS Request for Transfer Form.
  3. If the program transfer is supported and approved by the Director / DGS of the current program and the intended new program, you must complete the LGS Program Transfer Form in the “Enrollment” section of the Laney Connect Hub. Log in with your Emory credentials and follow the instructions to locate and submit the form.
    • Note: All program transfers must be approved by the Dean of the Laney Graduate School
