Waivers of Required Courses
In
general, required courses may not be waived or transferred in from courses
previously taken at other institutions. However, students may petition to waive
a course if they can document that they have met the objectives of a required course
in prior experiences or coursework (that was not part of another degree). For example, the Teaching Practicum course may
be waived by petitioning and providing documentation showing the student has
met all the course objectives in prior teaching practice or experience. The
decision whether or not to accept the waiver petition will be made by the PhD
Program Executive Committee.
