Permission of the academic advisor and corresponding graduate program coordinator is also required and should be obtained on the substitution/waiver form. Credit earned in this way will count towards an undergraduate degree and may fulfill some requirements in a graduate degree program should the student transition to graduate study.

An undergraduate student may earn a maximum of 12 hours of graduate credit that can be counted towards their undergraduate degree. Courses may only be taken at the graduate level on a space available basis. Please see individual programs in the Elon Graduate Catalog for further detail concerning course descriptions.
