• Relinquishment of Pre-Matriculation Credit
  • On occasion, students may feel that they are not prepared to take the course they placed into based on the articulation of their pre-matriculation credits and/or placement tests. In such a case, students may wish to discuss their current placement with a faculty advisor from the appropriate department. If it is determined that it is in the best interest of the student to relinquish their pre-matriculation credit the student will forward written approval from the faculty advisor requesting their pre-matriculation credit be relinquished.
  • Relinquishment of pre-matriculation credit is permanent and irrevocable.
