Course Waivers

Students may be eligible to receive waivers for required and/or elective coursework in a master's degree or certificate program. Students will not receive credit for a waiver. A waiver requires the applicant to replace the waived course with an allowable elective course. Waivers may be awarded for coursework that is determined to be equivalent to courses required in the master's degree or certificate program. Courses must have been completed at Walsh College or at another institution prior to admission to Walsh College. If the student desires to take a course that has been waived for a grade, they must contact their academic advisor.

Eligibility for a course waiver requires:

  • The coursework must be equivalent to a course offered as part of a Walsh College master's degree or certificate program.
  • The coursework must have been completed with a grade of “C” (2.000) or better, from a college or university accredited by an approved accrediting body as noted for admission.
  • The coursework must have been completed within 60 calendar months (five years) preceding the date of initial admission.
