Input the course number for the Original Course in the request. Then input the course that is being authorized as a substitution. If completed at another campus, please list the Institution name. If you have any additional comments, please write them in the Comments field.
If the authorized substitution is a course that the student may have completed more than once, such as a Special Topics course, please list the term the authorized substitution was completed as well as the full course title, unit total, and/or grade to help identify the correct substitution.
If you are submitting a substitution for an emphasis course, please list the student's emphasis in the Comments.
