Applicant Prerequisite Audit

APPLICANT PREREQUISITE AUDIT: To aid admissions representatives in knowing what to look for regarding your academic history, students must fill out the Prerequisite Audit Section. This will outline when and where you took each of your prerequisite courses, along with the grade and credit hours awarded. This will be useful in identifying and verifying this information on your Official Transcripts.

NOTE: Prerequisites do not need to be completed at the time of application. However, all prerequisites must be completed by the time the program begins.

When completing the Prerequisite Audit Section below, please follow the format as shown in the example below for ALL the prerequisites. If you have not taken a prerequisite, please list the semester it is expected to be completed, along with the same information that is requested below. 

SAMPLE FORMAT: B+ 3.0 CHEM 1010 Introduction to Chemistry - Brigham Young University 
(Grade or semester to be completed, credit hours, course number, course title, college/university)

 

PREREQUISITE RETAKES: Applicants are responsible for reviewing the UCDH prerequisite retake policy on our website (https://bit.ly/3FNyM9w) prior to applying. Applicants that are ineligible due to this policy and still submit an application, will not be issued a refund of their application fee.

TRANSFERABILITY: If your course is not listed in our course equivalencies and you believe the course to be transferrable, download and print the Petition for Course Transfer Review. Any potential transfer course must meet UCDH criteria and course content must match the majorify of the required foundational knowledge. Petitions are only valid for the current application cycle. If an applicant submits a petition for one application cycle and then applies to a different application cycle at another date, a new petition would need to be submitted. Any past petitions would be void. If you are uncertain whether a petition form is needed for any courses you have taken, or if you have any questions, please contact the admissions department via email. To submit petitions, email the completed form, course description, and syllabus to admissions@ucdh.edu.
