COURSE WAIVER

skills not reflected on a transcript from another institution. An approved waiver is not reflected on the student’s official transcript and
academic credit is not awarded. The waiver will satisfy the requirement for graduation, but the student may be required to complete
coursework to account for outstanding credit hours required in the program. A waiver applies only to the program for which it is approved.
