Office of Student Academic Affairs | Core Course Waivers and Exams
Fall 2008 Core Course Placement and Waiver Examinations
WAIVER: Students may seek a waiver of any core course. Successful completion of a core waiver exam exempts students from the course requirement but does not carry course credit or reduce the number of credits needed for the degree.
