Course Waivers and Substitutions

For degree seeking students, up to five courses from any of the core courses among the graduate degree programs may be waived (2 completely waived and 3 substituted for electives), if a student has completed similar undergraduate courses from an accredited institution within a ten-year period and received a grade of B or higher. Once waived, a course may not be taken and used as an elective in the degree program.

Waiver/substitution arrangements are granted at the time of admission. The Admissions Committee will act upon these requests as a part of the admissions process and the student will be advised in writing of the committee’s decision. Waivers can only be used by degree seeking students, not by certificate students. No waivers will be allowed beyond those granted at the time of admission as a degree seeking student.
