Course Exemption or Credit for Life Experience
Matriculated students may petition for exemption from a specific course in the curriculum on the basis of previous study or, on occasion, for life-experience; forms are available in the Office of Student Affairs or online in the Registrar's section. Students will be required to submit substantiating evidence of how their experiences have met specific course objectives. If an exemption is granted, no credit is given and no fee is charged for the exempted course(s). If the student enrolls in a course and then decides to exempt the course, a request to do so must be made to the student's faculty advisor and the course instructor no later than two weeks into the semester. Each program determines the maximum number of credits students may exempt.
