Delete Course (DC)

Definition

This exception will delete a course (typically one the student has taken) from the list of acceptable courses for a specific sub-requirement. It is typically used to affect the flow of courses in a degree audit.

Example

A New Media and Communication Technology major also has a minor in Professional Writing. He would like to use COMM 2511 for the minor and take a different course to fulfill the Visual Communication Design section of his major. However, COMM 2511 is matching into the major, so it will need to be removed from the section to allow it to match into the minor.
