2. Any graduate course credits, including those earned from previous degrees, are eligible as advanced standing credits.

3. Advanced standing is only offered for courses currently listed in e-curriculum. Contact the program for more detail.

4. Program faculty will evaluate graduate courses taken at a recognized institution for equivalence or comparability.

5. Credits will be awarded based on original credits earned; or credits as listed in e-curriculum (whichever is lower).

i. course was taken in the same field with the same title

ii. course had similar topics and learning outcomes

iii. course readings, assignment and assessment requirements were similar

*evaluation process will be fully documented for each case in which it is applied
