Application for ACCT-430 Full Waiver

Students are eligible to receive a full waiver of ACCT-430- Financial Accounting by application if they meet one of the following criteria:


  • Have a current, active CPA license
  • Completed an Accounting major from an accredited university, verified with a transcript
  • Completed 5 or more Accounting courses at an accredited university, verified with a transcript


This application will require that you upload a copy of your CPA certificate or transcript. A full waiver satisfies Kellogg's core Accounting requirement, meaning that a student receiving a full waiver will not be required to take any Accounting courses at Kellogg.


If you do not have a current CPA license, or a transcript identifying an Accounting major or 5 or more completed Accounting courses, please reference the Intranet sites for information about waivers available by exam.


Please don't hesitate to reach out to Academic Advising (kellogg-ewadvisor@kellogg.northwestern.edu) if you have any questions.
