Waivers

Students may request a waiver of specific course requirements if they think that they have good cause (such as having completed a comparable course at another university).  Students should consult with their faculty advisor about the merits of their interest in obtaining a waiver of any degree requirements.  Requests for waivers of the core public health requirements will be decided by the faculty in those particular concentrations. Students interested in requesting a waiver of any degree requirements should write a memo to their advisor explaining their reasoning and the justification for the request.  It is imperative that students put these requests in writing and not rely on verbal understandings.  Students must submit their request to both their faculty advisor and the graduate Program Director.
