SUBJECT EXEMPTIONS
Students may submit a request for subject exemption if they have previously completed a university-level course whose content overlaps with the corresponding UVMB subject by at least 75%.
All exemption requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Repeated submissions, incomplete applications, or submissions containing false or misleading information will be automatically rejected.
THE SUBJECT EXEMPTION PROCESS
Please ensure that you strictly follow the guidelines below. Requests that do not comply with these requirements will not be considered.
Here is the flowchart of the exemption process.
STEP 1: Rules®ulations
Please ensure that you carefully review and fully understand the UVMB syllabus before submitting a subject exemption request.
For an exemption to be granted, the corresponding coursework must demonstrate at least 75% content overlap. In addition, the following elements must also be comparable:
- Total contact hours
- Laboratory structure and content
- Examination format and assessment requirements
- EAEVE-specific academic expectations
We kindly ask that exemption requests be submitted only if you are confident that all of the above criteria are met.
Submission deadlines: 10 September and 10 February.
Exemption requests submitted after a deadline will be evaluated in the subsequent review period for the following semester.
For example, a request submitted on 11 September will be treated as an early submission for the 10 February deadline.
Exemption requests are evalueted on a case-by-case basis.
