Measurement and Quantitative Methods Course Waiver Form -

MQM course waiver form

  • You may request that a doctoral-level course offered by the MQM program may be waived because you have either (i) completed a commensurate course and/or (ii) learned the course content through another type of educational experience. 
  • To successfully waive the requirement for the course/s listed below, you must earn the median score on an exam for a course to waived.  The median is determined by past performance of other students who have taken the exam as registered students for the class.  The exam for each course contains content that is representative of that taught in the course and is graded by the faculty member who teaches that course.  A second grader can be requested in writing by the student if their score on the exam is below the median by 5 points or less.  A copy of your results will be sent to you and your advisor.
  • Exams for waiver are given once a semester, at the discretion of the faculty member administering the exam; no make-up exams are granted.
  • If the course waiver is granted, you will not receive course credits for the course waived, but will be allowed to enroll in courses for which the waived course is a prerequisite.  The credit hours of waived courses do not contribute to your earned credit hours required for graduation.
