DARS AND THE POSTBACCALAUREATE STUDENT |
Some requirements
are removed from the audits OF all |
||
Requirements DARS Cannot Track |
||
1. 45 credits as a matriculated student | ||
2. UW GPA | ||
These two requirements
would not be accurate since DARS
can’t know which credits were completed in postbac status. You'll need to check for completion manually. |
||
Waived Requirements |
||
1. Composition, QSR and Diversity University requirements, are waived for all students. | ||
2. Writing, also a University requirement, is waived unless specific courses are required | ||
(e.g. HCDE 231, ENGR 231, HCDE 333). | ||
3. Areas of Knowledge are waived by a very few colleges/schools/departments. Most | ||
require that they be completed.--In A&S and SOC WF, the
15 final credits
of Areas of Knowledge are waived. |
||
4. Foreign language, a requirement in A&S and School of Social Work, is waived. | ||
5. Outside of Major (a requirement for A&S majors only) | ||
______________________________________________________________________ | ||
Some requirements may need exceptions |
||
Postbaccalaureate students who attended UW previously |
||
Courses that students
completed at UW or were transferred to UW as part of their undergrad
|
||
Postbaccalaureate students new to UW |
||
Admissions does
not transfer courses for these students.
DARS therefore will only be able |
||

EXCEPTIONS |
||
1. Major Requirements and Specific Courses for Writing | ||
Your major
Reference Table tells you how to waive these for students who have
equivalent untransferred work. (If the student has attended UW previously, you may, of course, substitute any course on the student's record for a normally required course. This is no different from what you might do for a first-degree seeker.) |
2. Areas of Knowledge |
a. |
Calculate the total
number of credits
of VLPA, I&S and NW earned by the student in previous (untransferred) work. |
|
b. |
If the total
credits of
untransferred work in each AoK equals or exceeds the number that DARS tells you are needed, you can easily remove the requirement from the audit. |
|
1) |
Create an SQ exception.
On EARS: Insert or remove a requirement, using a 1-character code (SQ exception) Use the AC1: _ (First code to attach) and AC2: _ (Second code to attach) fields only. Note: Two AoKs can be waived in one exception by using both fields. |
|
2) |
If
VLPA is complete, enter V. I&S: I NW: N |
|
3) | If all are complete, create a second SQ exception and use AC1: _ for N. | |
c.
|
If the total is
less than the number of credits required,
create an RU exception to waive the credits earned and allow DARS to track the remaining credits needed. |
|
1) |
Enter the PSNAME
for that AoK from your online Reference Table. -- A&S advisers will find the GenEd Reference Table here. -- Others will find the PSNAMEs for the AoKs in their Reference Tables here. |
|
2) | After REQHRS: enter the number of credits earned elsewhere. | |
3) | Comment to display (e.g.): 9 CREDITS COMPLETED ELSEWHERE |
