Learn how to request an academic waiver based on an advanced degree or qualifying credential.
How academic waivers work

- Submit your waiver request with an official transcript for the graduate degree or credential being evaluated.
- Pay the processing fee listed on the waiver page
- Monitor your Progress Tracker for approved credit to post.
What to expect
- Documentation must be current and verifiable.
- Waiver requests are reviewed after submission.
