Who can take the waiver exams and when are they offered? Which courses offer waiver exams?
Waiver exams are offered for SOWK 712, SOWK 716, SOWK 741, SOWK 742, and SOWK 791. To be eligible for SOWK 712, SOWK 716, SOWK 741 and SOWK 742 waiver exams, a student needs to have a BSW from a CSWE accredited social work program. This does not apply to the waiver exam for SOWK 791. There is information about waiver exams on the COSW webpage, along with application required to take the exam(s). (This form cannot be transmitted electronically at this time.) We post information about upcoming waiver exams on the web, put information in students’ boxes, and make announcements in classes where there are students for whom this information would be relevant (e.g. in 712 and 741 about upcoming 716 and 791 exams).
