Course Revalidation

A course taken more than 7 years previously must be revalidated if it is to be used towards meeting degree requirements.The graduate program coordinator will determine if a course needs to be retaken, or if a revalidation examination/experience can be offered. If offered, a revalidation examination may include a comprehensive examination, a portfolio, or other academically appropriate experience. Revalidation can be accomplished by submitting the following information for approval to the Graduate Program Director:

• A letter from the course instructor listing the criteria used to revalidate the course material.

• A copy of the student’s performance on the student’s revalidation examination.

• A letter from the college or school Graduate Program Director and/or Dean supporting the revalidation.
