Course Waivers

Students who have extensive academic content or professional experience that aligns with the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for a particular course may request a waiver for that course. Supporting documentation is required, such as a syllabus, evidence of previous experience, and the student's successful mastery of the skills and concepts covered in the course. Waivers will only be given at the department's discretion.

Faculty must submit an academic override on the student's Academic Progress Report within Workday.

No more than 12 total credits of major coursework may be waived. Waivers do not reduce the number of credits a student must take for the major; the waived course can be replaced with an appropriate program-approved elective.
