Waiver Exams
Overview
Once admitted to the MSW program, a student may request permission from the MSW coordinator to take a waiver exam(s), but only after consulting with their academic advisor first. A qualified student may waive the following courses by successfully completing the waiver exam: SOWK 8070, SOWK 8080, and SOWK 8090.
Exam Process
A student must clearly show qualification to take the exam(s) through provision of information pertaining to similar courses completed. If granted, a waiver exam will be scheduled at the student’s request. Each waiver exam may be attempted only once and the student must receive a score of 84% or higher in order to earn the waiver. Academic credit for life and/or previous work experience will not be given, in whole or in part, in lieu of the field placement or coursework.
Waiver exams are administered in-person, on the UNO campus.
