Course of Study Determining a Course of Study Students seeking graduate degrees should plan programs of study in consultation with their Advisors. Courses to be substituted, transferred, or waived should be identified and the appropriate forms filed shortly after admission to a program. Courses must have been completed not more than three years prior to admission to a program in the College of Education in order to be accepted through transfer.
Transfer credits apply toward the total number of hours required in a program.
While students are normally limited to six hours of transfer credit, they should confer with their Program Advisors for specific allowable exceptions. Substitutions are courses of equal credit currently offered at UALR but not the exact courses required in a program. Waivers of required courses may be granted for life experiences or knowledge gathered through parts of several courses. A waiver does not reduce the total number of hours required in a program. They do, however, release students from satisfying specific course requirements.
