Application for Course Substitution

Students who have completed courses through an accredited institution may apply for an equivalency by following the process outlined below. 
While we recognize that many other courses will overlap significantly in content with the courses offered in this program, Continuing Studies will also be considering the following when evaluating a course for equivalency:

• Learning objectives
• Method of evaluation
• Delivery method
• Instructional resources used 

A maximum of 2 courses completed somewhere other than Continuing Studies at Western may be accepted towards advanced or optional course requirements for the Professional Certificate in Management. These courses must have been completed within the past 7 years.

Decisions from Continuing Studies will be communicated to the student via email within 2 weeks of submitting the substitution form.
