What do I need?

Admitted or current students, fill out the online DocuSign form . Be sure to fill out the form completely, bearing in mind the policies listed above. Review your program's curriculum to verify if the equivalency you are requesting is a Program Requirement or Program Prerequisite. The online form will require three (3) attachments:

• ​Unofficial transcript showing the course taken.
• Course syllabus in effect at the college or university at the time you took the above course.  If a syllabus is not available, you must at minimum, provide a course description from that . Please note that more than one course may be submitted for consideration. 
• The course numbering system from that university to indicate that it is upper division or graduate level ( may be helpful).

What happens next?

The form will then be routed for three levels of review:

• Faculty Reviewer
• Director of Graduate Studies
