How is a course substitution determined and granted for a student?
Course substitutions are determined and granted on an individual basis. The student’s Coordinator at ODS determines whether or not a substitution request is valid based on evaluator recommendations and evaluator accuracy scores identified under math/reading/foreign language. All documentation for the student is carefully reviewed, including the student’s past performances in related post-secondary courses. e.g. Has the student previously taken this course? Did the student pass or fail this course? The student is also interviewed to determine whether or not every option for improvement has been exhausted i.e. use of tutoring services, etc. A course substitution is granted or denied upon completion of this process. This recommendation or denial is then forwarded to the Vice-Provost for Undergraduate and Graduate Studies who will work with the appropriate dean to identify a reasonable course substitution.
