Students must submit a petition in writing to the director of the major if they wish to have a course taken elsewhere in the university or externally considered as one of their required or elective courses in the ITI major. The letter of petition must include a copy of the full syllabus as studied by the student, a copy of the transcript showing the grade achieved, the ITI course it will replace, and the reasons for consideration. The courses are evaluated in terms of their very close match of content and skills to the ITI course, the level of the course, and the grade achieved (typically this should be a B or better). Students will be notified in writing of the outcome of the petition. A maximum of 6 approved transfer credits can be counted toward the major.
