Course Substitution A course substitution takes the place of a required course in a curriculum, provided it does not compromise the integrity of the course and/or program outcomes. Dave July 2016

Reciprocity Statement: Summary Ensure substitutions are consistent with the TMC parameters (some TMCs allow more flexibility in course substitutions than others); Apply external sources of credit: (e.g. AP, IB, CLEP) toward the GE and major. Use statewide documents and local policies for such determinations; and, Credit by Exam: Utilize existing local credit by exam policies. Deanna July 2016
