Requirement Waiver: Create a New Requirement Waiver

!

A recent update to the exceptions entry modification now allows for transfer and exam credit to be entered via course directive. Requirement waivers should only be used when you are truly waiving a requirement. If using transfer or exam credit toward a requirement, use a course directive.

Step 1

Find the requirement in the DPR that needs an exception. From the “Create Exception” drop down menu, select Requirement Waiver and click Go.

Save and Reprocess DPR.
