The chairperson of the division which houses the course may grant equivalents for certain required courses for students of demonstrated proficiency and may permit the substitution of approved equivalents. A copy of the completed Course Substitution/Equivalency Authorization form will be placed in the student's permanent file.

A student with a disability may request a course substitution if that disability prevents him/her from completing a required course. See Claire Nelson, Coordinator of Academic Services for Students with Disabilities, for specifics about the petition process.

Matriculated students who elect to register for one or more courses at another regionally accredited university must seek approval before hand with their division chairperson if they wish those courses to equate to a major requirement.
