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

WHAT YOU CAN DO

FIELDS TO USE

GENERAL EDUCATION
ENGLISH COMPOSITION and WRITING (T C):
5 credits ENGLCOMP1 Waive 1 credit - ONLY with a 4-credit composition course from Western Washington University. REQHRS: - 1

NOTE: The University minimum for writing courses is 7 credits.  If you waive ENGR 231 and/or HCDE 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.

3 credits: ENGR 231 MSE-231 Allow a different course COURSE:
Waive credit REQHRS: - #
4 credits:
MSE 311, 312, 313
MSE-333 Allow a different course COURSE:
Waive credit REQHRS: - #
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 ENGR-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.
