Eligible courses are 3000 or 4000 level courses required for the major, including common program prerequisites and required electives. Graduate courses are not eligible.

The waiver must be used at the same institution where the eligible course is taken. Neither exchange program (UCF 3995) nor transient courses are eligible.

The Board of Governors determines the programs to which the waiver applies. The current eligible programs are listed above.

Pre- or pending majors are not eligible. If the selected program is a limited access or restricted major, students must be accepted into the major program by the first day of the semester to qualify.

The guidelines state a student must earn at least 60 semester credit hours towards a baccalaureate degree within two academic years after initial enrollment at a Florida public postsecondary institution. Credits must be earned at a FL public institution. Please review your course history and contact the Registrar’s Office if you have further questions.

There is not a list of eligible courses available. Please review your myKnight audit to determine if the classes in which you are enrolled meet degree requirements. If you have questions about the degree audit, please contact your academic success coach.

Retroactive changes in the academic history, including late drops or withdrawals, medical withdrawals, repeated courses, and grade forgiveness, reduce the number of credits a student has earned. Changes to courses taken within the 2-year period may reduce the credits earned to less than 60, and the student would no longer be eligible for the waiver.

Eligibility is determined each semester and summer session after the add/drop date for the term or session. We are unable to confirm or predict if a student will receive the waiver in future terms.
