Undergraduate Policies and Procedures

A single course may not fulfill more than one SLU College of Arts and Sciences core requirement. Exceptions are diversity in the U.S. and global citizenship courses, which may do "double duty" by satisfying another core, major, minor or certificate requirement.
Students seeking a substitution for coursework in the College of Arts and Sciences core due to the functional impact of a disability must be registered with the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources. Once you have registered with the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources, the following process must be followed:
- Make a written request to your academic advisor explaining the need for the substitution.
- The academic advisor will request the documentation you鈥檝e provided and a written recommendation about the substitution from the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources.
- Your written request and the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources' recommendation will be reviewed. Additional faculty and staff input may be solicited.
- Approval or disapproval of the substitution request will be communicated to you and your academic adviser. If approved, specific substitutions will be identified and the advisor will initiate paperwork, as appropriate.
Substitutions may be granted for the foreign language* and math core components. Other elements of the core have no viable substitutions that allow for core learning objectives to be fulfilled.
*Courses substituted for foreign language may not count toward other core, major, or minor requirements.
