Next steps

Once you have approval, your petition will be routed to the Graduate College for final approval.  Please note as well, students who would like to complete a concentration should declare their intent no later than the second week (10th class day) of the student’s second semester.  Please note that concentrations are not approved in any student’s final term.  Keep in mind, as well, that declaring your concentration early may influence studio assignments for relevant areas.
