Course Substitution Form

This form is for CFA students or CFA minors only. A course substitution form is to be completed to request a course you have been advised to take and be counted in place of a required course for your CFA major or CFA minor. This form should be completed before a substitution course is taken. Students should not assume courses will automatically be approved without a confirmation from the CFA Registrars office. Upon approval, you must register yourself for the course. We do not register you.

Please note, you may only submit 2 course substitution requests on this form. Requests must be made before applying for graduation

All on-campus petitions are received and recorded by the CFA Registrar, Mary Ducharme in Room 230. All online petitions are received and recorded by the Director of Graduate Student Services, Shannon Streets. The office will forward the completed and submitted form to your advisor and school Director for approval on your behalf. Note School of Music students will require approval from Director of Undergraduate Studies/Director of Graduate Studies.

CFA students with a non-CFA minor will need approval for the substitution from the school their minor is in.

You will receive a confirmation email of your decision once it is processed and updated in your student record. Please be mindful and allow advisors and directors time to approve this form. Questions can be directed to the CFA Registrars Office at cfastu@bu.edu or 617-353-3350.
