Core Course Requirements
Core Course Exemption or Substitution
Exemptions
Exemption without credit from a core course may be granted by course instructor(s) on the basis of examination, appropriate professional or academic accomplishment or substitution of another approved course in the subject area.
Core faculty shall make available to incoming students before exemption examinations, a syllabus of the course and, where available, copies of previous examinations.
Results of the Exam
Faculty administering the exemption exam make the determination of the performance required to achieve one of the following outcomes:
-
Fail - student is required to take the course.
-
Exempt with substitution - student may either take the core course or an approved substitute to fulfill the core requirement.
-
Exempt - student passed the exam and is not required to take additional classes in this field.
In no case will credit be given for an exempt course. The core course instructor may choose to allow the student to take the core course for a letter grade or on an S/U basis, even after passing an exemption exam.
