Students will use this form to request a course exception so that an alternative course (MINES course or Transfer Course from another institution) may be used to substitute for a Core or Elective requirement for their major after reviewing their Degree Audit/Evaluation in Degree Works with their advisor/academic department. Students need to check their degree plan each term to ensure they are meeting degree requirements as outlined in the Graduate Catalog of the admit term for that degree major and that they meet the approval of their advisor/academic department.
