A maximum of nine credits taken at Salem State University before matriculation may be eligible for credit towards a degree. Under exceptional circumstances, this limit may be waived. Students may be blocked from registering for additional courses if they exceed this limit prior to matriculation and/or courses may not be applied to the plan of study.
To request a waiver to the nine credit limit, students must submit a Three Course/Nine Credit Limit Waiver form to the School of Graduate Studies.
