Course Waivers for Academic Requirements
Students accepted to a GPS master’s degree may occasionally waive out of a required course in which they can demonstrate proficiency. Brandeis Online makes final decisions on course waiver applications. Students do not receive academic credit for waived courses, but instead will be allowed to substitute an elective course in the program, to accrue the necessary amount of credits to graduate.
The Course Waiver Form for GPS students is available in the Academic Resources section of the website. Students should consult with Brandeis Online for the waiver process specific to their program of interest. A maximum of two course waivers will be permitted, with approval from the program chair, however, not all programs allow waivers.
