Reference Table for CMP E, WIN04 ff


To allow courses with grades below your minimum

       The following table gives instructions for RU exceptions, which can be created either in EARS or from the 370 screen of the SDB.  However, if you want DARS to accept a course with a grade below the minimum for a given requirement, use an RR exception, available only from the 370 screen.
 

Allowing special topics and ancient courses to apply to Areas of Inquiry

REQUIREMENT PSNAME WHAT YOU CAN DO FIELDS TO USE
COMPOSITION AND WRITING
5 credits: Composition ENGLCOMP1 Waive one credit only with a 4-cr comp course at Western Washington University REQHRS: - 1

NOTE: The University minimum for writing courses is 7 credits.  If you waive T C 231 and/or 333, the student must have 7 credits of comp or writing courses, which you must place here. 
     You can waive these courses for postbac students as appropriate: The University does not require them to complete a writing requirement.  Insert a comment* ("Taken at WSU") or the requirement will disappear.

3 credits: T C 231 CE231 Allow a different course COURSE:
CE-231 Waive the course (for a postbac student)* REQHRS: - 3

AREAS OF INQUIRY

To remove the following for postbac students if the reqs have been satisfied elsewhere but the courses have not been transferred to UW:  Create an SQ exception. 

AC1:V to remove A&H. 
AC2:I to remove SSc   (Use AC1: if you're not removing A&H)

The "addl 10 credits of A&H or SSc" requirement will automatically be removed from PB audits.

Reductions for postbac students, if the minimums were not completed in previous studies, can be made using ENGR-A&H and ENGR-SSC together with the field, REQHRS: (- #).

A&H: 10 credits
SSc: 10 credits

Upon approval of a University petition, exceptions to allow fewer credits than the minimum 10 credits will be entered by Graduations and Academic Records.
