3.1.1.1 Waivers of Required Courses
In general, required courses may not be waived or transferred in from courses previously taken at other institutions. However, students may petition to waive a course if they can document that they have met the objectives of a required course in prior experiences or coursework. For example, the Teaching Practicum course may be waived by petitioning and providing documentation showing the student has met RS-950b course objectives in prior course(s) or graduate-level teaching experiences. To waive a core course, students must submit a Course Replacement Petition Form, typically within the first semester of the program. The decision to accept or deny the waiver petition will be made by the Executive Committee.
