Waive a Course Requirement or Undo the Waive

You can waive a course requirement or undo the waiver of a course requirement

If you configure a minimum GPA on the courses in the Course list for a program version or area of study, Anthology Student does not evaluate the minimum GPA when you manually:

• Fulfill a course
• Waive a course
• Add a course

When you fulfill, waive, or add a course manually, Anthology Student assumes you understand what the requirements are for that course.

When a minimum grade point is set on the course list for program versions and areas of study, Anthology Student evaluates the minimum grade point for these courses for associated enrollments: 

• Elective pool courses
• Equivalents courses
• Substituted courses

It also provides notes for the activity in the Activity Notation column.

When a course does not meet a minimum grade point, Anthology Student displays it under Courses Not Applied so that it can be used to fulfill another area. For example, the course can count toward progression in another category, elective pool, or substitution pool that does not have a minimum grade point requirement or lower requirement.
