ECON 1 Waiver Request

Students scoring a 5 on both the advanced placement (AP) microeconomics and macroeconomics tests or a score of 7 on International Baccalaureate (IB) higher level economics test may petition the Director of Undergraduate Studies to have the ECON 1 course requirement waived. Students do not receive unit credit for placing out of ECON 1.


Students whose petitions are approved and are thus exempt from Econ 1 are required to replace the 5 units of taking Econ 1 credit with alternate 5 units of any Econ course(s) taken for letter grades.

NOTE: Your FULL NAME must be visible on the uploaded document. If you are requesting to waive ECON 1 with a class, you MUST include both a syllabus and a transcript with your grade in the course.
