Special requests such as course-‐substitution OR waiver of a course or program requirement, must be made using a “Student Request Form.” All SRFs should be sent to the 2+2 Academic Advisor for an initial recommendation decision.

Those 2+2 students who are currently or have been recently employed in an Iowa DE-‐approved PK-‐Grade 12 school setting AND who need credit for 200:017 may apply for a waiver of 200:017. These students must secure a letter from his/her supervisor on business letterhead (with email and phone contact information) detailing the length of
employment, age level of students, duties engaged in, and quality of the work performed. The SRF and supporting documentation should be sent to the 2+2 Academic Advisor for initial recommendation. If approved, the Advisor will send the request to the appropriate parties for their decision. You should check your records on MyUNIverse for evidence of course approval. Contact the 2+2 Academic Advisor or the UNI Registrar’s Office with questions about course substitutions. Allow 4-‐weeks for this form to be processed.
