Course Waivers

Additional courses must be taken to make up the credits for courses accepted for waiver. See your academic advisor.

Undergraduate Programs (All Schools)

Some required courses may be waived if mastery of the learning outcomes is demonstrated by the successful completion of comparable coursework from a previous, regionally accredited college or university. Eligibility for waiving a required course or courses will be determined by the student’s advisor in conjunction with the academic program chair and/or academic dean. Essential skills courses in writing and mathematics may only be waived if a student has successfully completed previous college-level work in those areas, and a standardized assessment administered by Cambridge College indicates appropriate competencies.
