Additional Notes
-
Students who have taken a similar course at another university should discuss the course with their advisor and/or the instructor of the UIUC course, to see if it makes sense to retake it or show proficiency by examination. Repeating a course for credit that is essentially the same as a course previously taken is strongly discouraged.
- Proficiency credit may be used for 400-level courses. One proficiency attempt is allowed for any course. Contact the instructor for details about how to proficiency a course at the beginning of the semester. No hours credit is given for course requirements satisfied by proficiency.
- Courses taken at UIUC as an undergraduate may be used to
satisfy this requirement. Transfer credit for courses taken
outside UIUC may not be used to satisfy this requirement.
