Course Substitution

SAU Tech reserves the right to cancel, postpone, combine or modify any course offering or modify any degree when necessary because of accreditation requirements, insufficient enrollment, and/or lack of staff members or for financial or other reasons. As a result, SAU Tech recognizes that some students may be unable to satisfy specific course requirements for degree completion. In such cases, SAU Tech can substitute courses to meet degree requirements as long as the substitution does not reduce the number of credits required in the program or compromise the student's course of study or the integrity of a degree.

Courses that SAU Tech determines are essential to the program of instruction being pursued by the student or directly related to any certification or licensing requirements will not be compromised through the substitution process. If the course in question is considered to be an essential part of the student’s program or a requirement for certification or licensure, a substitution will not be granted. In such cases, the student will be required to take the course during a subsequent semester offering or SAU Tech may arrange Independent Study sections for students scheduled to graduate prior to the next semester in which the course is offered.

A course substitution granted by SAU Tech may not necessarily be recognized by a subsequent or transfer educational institution.
