Exceptions Request

If you have taken a course at your previous institution that you feel should count for general education credit at UK, you can petition the UK Core Exceptions Subcommittee to have that course reconsidered for general education credit. The petition is online, and you will need to provide a course syllabus as part of its submission, as well as an explanation of why you think your previous course should fulfill a UK Core requirement.

Appeals

After you have submitted a petition for a UK Core exception and you've received a decision, you can appeal that decision by filling out this form. (This is not the initial appeal form, so please only fill this out after you have received a decision on your course from the UK Core Exceptions Subcommittee and you would like to further appeal it.) 

Appeal Form

Note:

If you are requesting an exception for a college requirement (Arts and Sciences or Business and Economics, for example), then you will need to contact your college's main advising office rather than pursue a UK Core exception. Your academic advisor can assist you with any questions.
