Courses that transfer in with specific UM course credit can be used for cognates.
Students may ask the RAU to use non-specific transfer credits
Students may ask the RAU to substitute courses in a cognate
Only Transfer students with 30+ credits can do one “individualized cognate” (IC), which allows flexible use of transfer credits.
Must be approved by the student’s college/school advising office.
