Meet with your academic advisor to initiate a CERC petition in MyMSU.

Once your advisor initiates the petition, you will receive an email from bannersystem@montana.edu containing a link to your petition. Open the link to access your petition.

 

Click "Add Details" and complete the required information

  • Enter the term/semester when you took the transfer course.
  • Provide the website for the transfer university.
  • Course syllabus from your previous institution is required
  • Course description from previous course
  • Other documentation showing learning outcome alignment with MSU core learning outcome
  • Supporting statement from your academic advisor, if available

Tip: Your documentation should help demonstrate why the requested course substitution or waiver is appropriate.

Ensure all required information and documents are uploaded within 21 days of the petition being intiated. If the required documents are not uploaded within 21 days, your petition will be canceled, and you will need to meet with your academic advisor again to restart the process.

Once you complete your petition, it will be routed to the Registrar's Office to verify that all required documentation has been received. Incomplete petitions will be returned to you for completion. Complete petitions will be forwarded to the Core Equivalancy Review Committee (CERC) for review.

After the committee reviews your petition, the Registrar's Office will update your student record with the committee's decision. You will be notified of the outcome through your preferred email address.
