- Students will not be allowed to waive out of our departmental core classes (even if the content was similar from their master’s program.)
- Students will not be allowed to waive out of the total number of methods hours required in their program of work. They may waive out of intro methods courses if they have already taken those courses; but they will simply need to take more advanced methods courses instead.
- Beyond this, programs can come up with additional guidance/policies about where credits can be applied in students’ program of work (POW)s.
- Our existing policy will continue for existing continuing students (given that most decisions have already been made for existing students).
- The new policy and approval procedures will begin with incoming students in summer/fall 2021. These students will be notified within admissions letter/email and/or by advisor upon admission that this is an option for them.
- If students are in a program that permits the 6 -unit credit transfer, all incoming students within the program will be allowed to take advantage of this policy as long as the course aligns in some way with the requirements that they are being substituted for.
