Course Substitution Form

This form is for CFA students or CFA minors only. Complete it to request that a course be counted in place of a required course for your CFA major or minor. Students should speak with their advisor prior to form submission, do not assume courses will automatically be approved. This form should be completed after the desired course has been registered for.

Please note, you may only submit 2 course substitution requests on this form. Requests must be made far in advance of graduation to allow adequate processing time.

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 3-4 weeks for adequate processing time. Questions can be directed to the CFA Registrars Office at cfastu@bu.edu or 617-353-3350.
