Honors College University Requirements Substitution Request

The Honors College University Requirements Substitution Request is designed to:

Many popular university requirement substitution courses are already loaded into the new Student Information System (SIS) http://student.msu.edu and should be populating in the appropriate category (Writing, Arts & Humanities, Social Science, Natural Science) of the Academic Progress report.

However, please use the Honors College University Requirements Substitution Request when:

  • A substitution course (enrolled in or completed) should be populating in one of the university requirement categories (Writing, Arts & Humanities, Social Science, Natural Science) but is missing.
  • A university requirement substitution course is showing in the incorrect university requirement category
  • A substitution course is completed at another institution (transfer credit) after matriculation at MSU

An Honors College advisor will approve the request and update SIS or deny the request communicating the reason.

*After enrolling in a university requirement substitution course, promptly check to see it is populating in the correct category on the Academic Progress report and if not, please submit the substitution form.

Substitution courses must be proposed to and approved by an Honors College Advisor in advance, typically immediately after enrollment. Please use this form to propose your substitution. Contact your Honors College advisor with any questions.

Please note, when requesting a course to substitute for an Integrative Studies requirement, remember that:

  • Courses must be approved in advance in order to fulfill University Integrative Studies requirements
  • Course substitution approvals are valid only for the semester indicated
