Waive Course (WC)

Definition

This exception is used to waive a specific course for a student.

This exception is similar to “Waive Course,” “Waive Requirement,” and “Requirement Complete” exceptions.

Example

A student is majoring in Communication Analysis and Practice and minoring in Sociology. The Sociology advisor is waiving the SOCIOL 3487 requirement on the minor because the student has credit for COMM 3160 and has met the spirit of the requirement. A course will not appear in both the major and the minor requirements.
