The deadline to do so is June 1, as to not delay any steps in your enrollment for the fall. Should the Admission Committee approve your request, you will not be able to switch back prior to matriculation.
Students who would like to change programs after enrolling in the law school will be eligible to do so after successful completion of their first year. Students will need to seek approval from the Law School Student Services team.
