Students may request to substitute one course for another to fulfill the academic requirements of a program. If approved, the substituted course will replace the originally designated course to fulfill the program requirement.
For Programs in Massachusetts, California, Maine, and Washington
Course substitution requests must be reviewed by the student’s academic advisor in consultation with the director of the student's program and the department that offers the original course. Once approved, the academic advisor will process the substitution.
For Programs in New York, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and Canada
Students must work with a college advisor to submit a Request for Waiver of Universitywide Requirement to the Office of the Provost. Approved course substitutions are processed by the Office of the Provost, and the decision will be communicated to both the student and their academic advisor.
