Purpose:The purpose of this procedure is to designate a process for course substitution. Course substitution is the process by which courses completed bystudents may be used to satisfy program requirements for graduation in lieu of courses specified in the program governing their graduation. Procedure:- A student desiring to substitute a course must meet with the appropriate department chair or program manager to determine if the course substitution is appropriate. Printed forms are available in the Counseling Office.
- Only SCC courses can be used in the substitution process. Transfer work is evaluated and entered into the system with a SCC prefix.
- Courses must be the same level of complexity as or higher than the skill level of the courses being substituted for and must fall under the same discipline cluster, with the exception of integrated curriculum.
- Courses listed as "Major Courses" under A.S. degree programs cannot be substituted.

- Courses assigned a 1996-1999 prefix may be used to substitute for general education courses within that area.
- Courses assigned a 1990-1995 prefix may be used to substitute for support courses in A.S. degree programs.
- Department chairs have the authority to determine if a substitution is valid only for courses within their discipline or department.
- The Registrar’s Office may appeal to the Dean of that department if a decision rendered by a department chair is considered inconsistent with SCC policy and procedure.
