Frequently Asked Questions

My degree audit is saying that I have duplicate courses. What does that mean?

A review of your academic record has identified course work that might be duplicated. A duplicate course shows when you have taken a non-repeatable course more than once, or have taken a repeatable course more than the maximum times allowed. The course work in questions is shown within the red "Duplicate Courses" button at the top of the page.

It is recommended that you meet with your college/department advisor to review this work for accuracy, as it could affect your degree completion timing. More information about repeating courses can be found in NKU's undergraduate catalog.

Why can't I see my major requirements?

Please contact your advisor of record.

What is the difference between a Course Waiver and a Course Substitution?

A course waiver means that the course itself has been waived but not the credit hours requirement. A course substitution means that one will course will be used in the place of another course which includes the credit hours. Please ask your advisor to submit a course waiver/substitution via the degree audit. Once the course waiver/substitution has been approved, a confirmation email will be sent to the student and the degree audit will be updated immediately.
