Any transfer credits from international universities are subject to prior approval by the dean. The six-year limit policy applies to courses approved for transfer from other universities, and courses must otherwise meet the criteria for transfer as outlined in the University transfer policy.
Students are allowed to waive any core courses for which the substantive learning outcomes have been successfully achieved before, whether in graduate or undergraduate courses, with prior approval by the director of the program. Courses waived must be substituted by other courses. Students are encouraged to contact their adviser as soon as possible, and preferably before enrolling in the program, to make sure that suitable alternatives will be available.
