Course Substitution Process


Process

  • You may seek a course substitution if you feel you have taken a similar class to meet a course requirement.
  • If after reviewing your degree evaluation, you find a class not being used toward a specific requirement and believe it should be, you may petition the course requirement by meeting with your advisor.  You may be referred to the academic division associated with your request.
  • You will need to provide an official transcript, course description and syllabus when making the request.
  • If you have questions about course substitutions, please contact your academic advisor.


Have You?

  • Verified with Enrollment Services correct information received regarding transcript(s)
  • Gathered your documents
    • Course description from catalog year course was taken (do this by going to the webpage of your prior institution and searching the old catalogs for the course description)
    • Course syllabus (this can be pulled from a number of places, old course pages, instructor of course, academic division of institution the course was taught at, or your old hard copy from the course)
    • Copy of transcript on file and on record at NWACC (you can bring the copy to your advisor when you meet to discuss your options)
