Waiver Policy

Waiver Policy

Any of the courses below may be waived on the basis of appropriate undergraduate or graduate courses taken within the immediately previous six years at a regionally accredited institution. If granted, a student can waive no more than four (4) courses (12 credits). Waivers will be considered at the time of admission and only courses with a “B” (3.0) grade or higher in the appropriate courses will be considered. 

Students who seek transfer credit must submit a written request (with a course syllabus or course description of the previously completed coursework) to the MBA Director during the first semester of attendance. No elective/concentration course is eligible for waivers, and a course that has been waived may not be taken or used for elective credits. No tuition refund or cancellation will be issued for courses taken and subsequently waived. Moreover, waiving of courses does not reduce the total minimum number of 30 credits required to be taken in the program at Southern.
