Change of Status

Any change of matriculation status (i.e., from full-time student to part-time student) must be approved by the Registrar’s Office. After the first two weeks of classes, students may not change their matriculation status for the semester in progress.

Students may change their status using their Eastern email and send the following information to registrar@easternct.edu:

• Name, ID Number
• Are you an Undergraduate or Graduate Student?
• Is the term for which you are making the change your first semester attending Eastern as an admitted student?
• Full-Time to Part-Time/Part-Time to Full-Time?
• *Are you receiving any Financial Aid? (Check with Financial Aid if you are)
• Do you live on-campus (Residential Student)?
• Have you paid any fees for the semester you are making the change?
