Advanced Standing: Transfer Credit vs. Waiver of Course Requirements

If the awarding of advanced standing is such that you believe you may be able to shorten the published minimum numbers of semesters required by your program, you may consider applying for a Modified Program of Study.

An alternative to transferring credits into the degree program is to request a waiver of a course or competency area requirement from the program director or chairperson of your department. This will allow you to take more elective credits in subjects that interest you, but will not lower the minimum number of credits you take at Antioch University New England.

Please Note: Waivers do not relieve you of the obligation of dropping a course for which you have registered. You must meet the official drop deadline (please see the drop deadlines listed in the Academic Calendar)to have the waived course dropped from your schedule.
