AOI ISSUES

COURSES ELIGIBLE FOR USE IN MORE THAN ONE CATEGORY
    DARS will usually adjust these courses to the student's best advantage once all courses are completed, but, rarely, you may have to give it a nudge.
    Any A&H/SSc course, for example, will stay in A&H until there are 10 other A&H credits. Students may ask you to push the course. DARS Office policy on this is, "Please be patient."

If the total credits will exceed 24, it may be easier to tell DARS exactly how many courses to require instead.  In that case, don't use "waive required credits" but "waive required courses" -- and use a + and the total number of courses required.

10 CREDITS REQUIRED
The final course will split off credit beyond the 10 required. If applicable and needed, it will be used in the max. 10 COE credits applicable toward the total of 68, below.

DARS can also force a particular course to split so that only part of it applies toward these 10 credits. Write to dars@uw.edu if that needs to happen.

If this requirement is not satisfied and "COE," below, has more than it needs, waive 10 credits with PSNAME = COE.  If that doesn't work, write to dars@uw.edu for help.
