MSU will not waive curricular requirements; however, course substitution requests from students with verified disabilities will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Requests for a substitution for a core curriculum requirement are handled by the university's Core Equivalency Review Committee. A student who wishes to petition for a substitution for a required course in his or her major or minor must begin by speaking with the appropriate curricular advisor. Decisions about appropriate substitutions, when such substitutions are approved, will be made by faculty in the student's major department with input from DSS professionals.

Accommodation for Students with Math Learning Disabilities
Accommodation to the Quantitative Reasoning (Q) Core Curriculum Requirement may be made for students with math learning problems caused by disabilities. Accommodations, when permitted, apply only to the Core Curriculum Requirement; they do not change requirements in majors, minors, or certificates.

MSU recognizes that some students with specific learning disabilities may experience difficulty completing the Core Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Students with learning disabilities who believe that they need an accommodation to meet the Quantitative Reasoning requirement should contact the office of Disabled Student Services (DSS) to begin the process to certify the disability. Learning Disability documentation must meet established MSU requirements as developed by DSS. A student who wishes to explore the possibility of a course substitution is encouraged to discuss the issue with his or her DSS counselor.

DSS personnel will advise students on the correct course of action.
