To provide flexibility for students to customize their professional education coursework to individual career goals and specific skill needs, students who enroll in a program that contains an elective course may petition to replace one elective course in the respective program with any course from the current portfolio of offerings that is of the same clock hour length.
Students must provide a rationale accompanying their request to professionaled@villanova.edu, which will be reviewed by the Professional Education Programs team for approval. Students may petition to replace only one elective course within the certificate requirements. This petition must be submitted at the time of enrollment in the program.
Students will be notified of a decision regarding their request within one week of submission.
