Program II proposals are approved with the understanding that you will regard your core courses--generally 14-16 but no more than 18 courses--as specific graduation requirements. If it becomes necessary for you to make a course change because, for instance, one of your core courses is no longer offered at Duke, you must contact your advisor to let them know which course you are substituting and why. Then, use the guide below to enter your substitution request into Stellic. Your advisor will be notified of your request and will need to approve the change.
Things to Remember:
- All substitution requests should be submitted and approved by the last day of drop/add of the semester in which you will take the substitute course
- Your substitution should generally be offered at the same level (e.g. a 100-level for a 100-level, a 300- for 300-) and same credit amount (e.g. a 1.0 for a 1.0, not a 0.5)
- Your proposed substitution should be targeted at the same learning objective as the original course in that portion of your Program II
