Advanced Standing: Timing of Applying for Advanced Standing

Students who wish to apply for advanced standing are advised to speak with their program director or department chairperson upon admission. An application should be obtained from the Registrar’s Office and completed during your first semester. Decisions on advanced standing will be made during your second semester and will take into account your first semester performance as well as all material submitted with your application.

If you anticipate that an award of advanced standing credits will shorten the number of semesters in the program, you must file a program plan with your advanced standing application. Please see your advisor for details. Program plan forms are available in your department and in the Registrar’s Office.
