Any course duplicated for credit increases the required number of credits to graduate by an equal amount. Both the original and the duplicated course entries remain on the student s permanent record and are used to calculate the cumulative grade point average. Credit is not given for a course that is a prerequisite for a more advanced course if that prerequisite is taken after the more advanced course has been completed. Waiver of prerequisites for admission to courses may be obtained from the instructor concerned or the chair of the department in which the course is offered. Undergraduate students may not enroll in fewer than three quarter-courses except by permission of the dean of their school.
Permission is given only in extraordinary circumstances.
In the College of Arts and Sciences and Medill School of Journalism, undergraduate students may not enroll for more than four quarter-courses except by permission of the dean s office. This regulation applies to total credit for courses taken in other institutions in addition to credit obtained in residence at Northwestern.
