Course Specific Requests

Students can request a course overload after completing their first semester with a 3.75 GPA or higher. 

Independent Study Proposal Form

An independent study course is an individual student project guided by a CMU faculty member for variable units (6 – 12 units) as an elective. 

Course Waiver Requests 

To request a waiver of a required course, students need to submit a written (email) request to their academic advisor. Specific courses may have different processes for successfully applying for a waiver. Students need to document three years of relevant professional experience and academic courses covering class specifics to request a waiver from a course. Along with these requirements, some faculty members may require an interview or exam as part of the course waiver process.

Requests will be approved or denied after review from the academic advisor, program director, and/or course faculty. Students in the MIIPS program can request to waive at most 12 units of required courses. This limit is not meant to be restrictive—rather they exist to ensure all students take advantage of the program curriculums as designed and developed.
