Change of field of study timeline

Post by Guest_ »

Hello,
I am currently studying data science, and want to switch to computer science. At my school the programs are very similar so I can very seamlessly switch and not have it affect my graduation timeline. I have formally submitted a SAAR with the full support of my sponsoring facility. After submitting I emailed my scholarship coordinator and asked what the timeline is, and she said up to 90 days. If this actually were to go through I would need to know within the next 4-6 weeks before classes start, and I am worried the paperwork won't go through. The motivation for change was heavily influenced by how my internship has gone, hence why I am starting the process at a late and awkward time. Does anyone have any experience with change of study requests and how long they generally take to process?
