Core and Program Course Substitutions

Students who have completed graduate work at NLU or another institution may seek substitution of NCE required courses. Students who wish to substitute required courses for the degree or program must work with an advisor to present an official transcript and a course or catalog description, or other relevant documentation, for Program Chair approval. Courses taken at other institutions must meet the University and NCE Transfer policy guidelines and be recorded on an official transcript on file with the Registrar's Office. Approved substitutions will be documented via the Student Adjustment Form. If the Program Chair denies the request, the student has the option to appeal to the Academic Policies Committee (APC). If approved by APC, the advisor will submit the Student Adjustment form. If denied, the decision is final.
