GAPE Forms
Successful completion of the MSME program requires you to complete various GAPE (Graduate Admission and Program Evaluation) forms. Below is a brief description of the forms and a link to where you can get them.
Change of Classification in Graduate Program
If you are conditionally classified, you need to file this form to change your admission from conditional to the classified status.
Application for a Change of Graduate Major
The application for Change of Graduate Major Form has transitioned into the new Change of Graduate Program Petition and is now live and posted on the GAPE Forms webpage. The benefit of this revised petition is that it is a paperless process with automated email communication informing students of the receipt and status of their petition. Through this new process, eligible students are informed to check-in with the program they request to enter about any additional requirements to submit a separate department application. Programs that only allow new students to start in the fall will be supported to allow Change of Program petitions for fall only, unless otherwise indicated. Your Graduate Program Evaluator will act as the liaison between the student and program to ensure proper processing of the request.
Request for Validation of Transfer Credit:
If you have taken any graduate course at some other institution and the course is equivalent to an existing ME graduate course, you can use this form to request transfer credits for the course.
Request for Re-validation of Course that has Exceeded the Seven-Year Time Limit:
This form indicates how expired courses will be re-validated for renewal.
Request for Course Substitution
Current students may use this form to substitute a core or an elective course listed on an approved candidacy form. View Course Substitution in the Graduate Student Guide. Please note that per university policy, you cannot replace a course listed on Candidacy form if you have already received a grade in the course.
