Course substitutions are occasionally requested when a disability directly restricts a student’s ability to fulfill a specific requirement toward graduation and no other effective accommodation can be found. A student experiencing extreme difficulty, in areas deemed not essential to a specific major, should meet with DRS staff to discuss alternatives and procedures. Most common requests are restricted to foreign language requirements. Appropriate current documentation, a copy of previous transcripts, and a copy of a current DARS report are needed to process course substitution requests. Approval through the Office of the Provost is required for substitutions.
