Campus Course Waiver Request

Online students have the benefit of lower cost tuition than on-campus students. As such, there are some limitations to some on-campus services and features.

In order to remain enrolled in a Standard or Hybrid course, online students must obtain approval. To request approval, please complete the form below. Students registered for a Standard or Hybrid course that do not obtain approval will be removed from the course. You’ll be notified by email as soon as possible regarding your waiver request.

Please note: Online students who receive approval will have a $100 Campus Connection Plan added to their statement of account for each semester they enroll in a Standard or Hybrid course.
