SISAT Policies

Transfer Credit

After completing a minimum of 12-units in the School of Information Systems and Technology, you may request a transfer of credit. Students should submit a letter addressed to the Dean of the School of Information Systems and Technology outlining the courses you wish to transfer and indicate where you expect the units to be applied. Compare similar courses taken and then compare them to the course requirement, and provide a copy of your transcript. An original transcript from the institution must be on file with the registrar’s office before any transfer credit can take place. The following represents the number of units allowable in each degree program:

MSIS (44-unit) 8 graduate level units
Ph.D. (76-unit) 24 graduate level units

Remember the units must be from an accredited institution, classes must be comparable in both rigor and content and you must have received the grade of B or better. Once you have submitted your request to the Dean of the School of Information Science and approval is granted, the program administrator will complete the necessary paperwork to officially transfer over the units. You will NOT receive official notification of the transfer credit, it will however, appear on your transcript.

Prerequisite Waiver

In some cases course(s) may be taken out of sequence. If this is the case you must obtain approval from each instructor to take his or her course without having completed the required prerequisite.

The form can be obtained from the program administrator's office.

Please note: Taking and passing a course for which a prerequisite waiver was granted does not waive you from that required course. You are still responsible for that course and units.

The Prerequisite Waiver Form requires your signature, the reason for the prerequisite waiver along with the instructor's signature

Enrollment Restrictions

Enrollment for some courses may be restricted to students of that program for the first two weeks of open enrollment, then courses will be open to all CGU students.

Auditing Courses

You may audit a course with the instructor's approval.

You may audit courses if you are enrolled in Doctoral Study or Continuous Registration.
