Waiver Exams 1 WAIVER EXAMS Waiver Exams The Carey Business School anticipates that students will complete all required coursework and credits needed for completion of the degree (or certificate) at Johns Hopkins University. Part-time students who enter Carey with professional work experience and prior completed course work at the undergraduate level in the following areas: Statistical Analysis or Accounting & Financial Reporting may request a course waiver. Part-time students seeking a course waiver must have a B+ or better in the undergraduate course and pass a waiver exam offered at the Carey Business School within the first semester of study at Carey. A maximum of 4 credits may be waived with the aforementioned criteria. Students who seek to take a waiver exam must notify their academic advisor. All determinations regarding the grade for the exam (pass or fail) are final and not eligible for appeal. Students who pass the waiver examination must complete the equivalent number of credits in an advanced course. This policy is separate from the Transfer of Credit policy. If a student has completed a professional exam (CPA, CFA, et cetera), please consult with the assigned Academic Advisor to receive more information regarding waiver with replacement.
