After completing the request form, the MSW Coordinator will send an email letting the student know if they are or are not approved to take the waiver exam. If approved, the MSW Coordinator will communicate next steps. Waiver exams are administered in-person, on the UNO campus, and are coordinated by the GASSW Student Services Associate. Each waiver exam may be attempted only once and the student must receive a score of 84% or higher to earn the waiver.
