Students may request to substitute one course for another to fulfill the academic requirements of a program. If approved, the substituted course will replace the originally designated course to fulfill the program requirement.

For Programs in Massachusetts and California

Course substitution requests must be reviewed by the student’s academic advisor in consultation with the director of the student's program and the department that offers the original course. Once approved, the academic advisor will process the substitution.

For Programs Outside Massachusetts and California

Students must submit a Request for Waiver of University-Wide Graduate Requirement to the Office of the Provost. Approved course substitutions are processed by the Office of the Provost, and the decision will be communicated to both the student and their academic advisor.
