If you wish to make a substitution within a requirement in your major or minor or have a requirement waived, such changes must be approved by your advisor, the chair of your department, and the dean of your college or school. To waive or substitute liberal studies requirements, you must submit a petition and get approval from your advisor and NAU’s Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies. For any other appeals of degree requirements, you should submit a petition to the Academic Standards Committee. (See Academic and General Appeals.)
