2024-2025 Graduate Catalog

Substitutions and Waivers

In order to maintain academic quality and integrity, no student will be granted a substitution for a course or credits unless it is in accordance with the University’s policy. A substitution may be granted at the discretion of the department chair/program director for any course in the respective discipline. However, if a student did not meet the academic requirements for a course, a substitution for that course will not be allowed. 

If the basis for the request of a substitution is a learning or physical disability, the student must contact the Director of the Office of Student Accessibility and provide documentation of the disability to request the substitution. All waivers and substitutions must meet the requirements of any academic program accredited and/or licensed by an outside accrediting body or governmental agency.
