Exceptions/substitutions

Note: program audits have been built to match the Academic Catalog.

In Stellic, a student, a student’s Advisor, Dean, or Administrative Assistant can submit course exceptions on behalf of their student.

Begin by clicking the 3 dots next to the course name then select “Make Exception”.

Select an exception type:

• Waive this requirement: select this if the course is no longer required.
• Substitution: select this if another course will fulfill this requirement. For example, an online version of the course (if a major requirement) or another course that has been approved to fulfill this requirement.

Include a justification, then click submit.

Once you click submit, a notification will be sent to the Registrar’s Office to approve the exception.

ONLINE CLASSES

Due to varying online policies, most (traditional) major requirements will require an exception if it is meant to be fulfilled by an online class. Submit the exception as a ‘substitution’ and type the course code into the box to find the online version. Online classes are designated with an “.OL” at the end of the course code.

TRANSFER CREDIT

Currently, transfer credit that satisfies major requirements are not recorded on the student’s transcripts. As a result, Stellic will not automatically recognize this credit. Notify the Registrar’s Office of transfer credit that is satisfying program requirements.

See Stellic’ s detailed instructions with pictures
