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.  On EARS: Insert or remove a requirement, using a 1-character code (SQ exception) 

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

The "addl 4 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 ME-A&H and ENGR-SSC together with the field, REQHRS: (- #).

A&H: 10 credits
SSc:   10 credits
Addl:   4 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.
Upon approval of a College petition, exceptions to allow fewer credits in "addl AOIs" will be entered by Graduations and Academic Records.
