For a variety of reasons, students may wish to request a course substitution of a specific requirement within their program of study. A course substitution means that a course not specified within the program of study is approved in place of a degree requirement.

Students need to submit a Course Substitution Form, and it must be approved by both the Division Chair of the appropriate department and the Vice President for Academic Affairs + Chief Academic Officer. A maximum of four courses (12 credits) can be substituted for a student’s undergraduate degree.

Additional information and forms are available in Academic Advising.
