General Education Waiver FAQs

  • Who is eligible for the General Education waiver?

    Students who have earned their Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree or fulfilled the general education requirements at a prior institution are eligible for a General Education waiver at Millersville University.

    Please note: This applies to students admitted summer 2022 or later. If a student admitted prior to summer 2022 would like to request review and a catalog term change in order to be eligible for the waiver, they should discuss it with their academic advisor and submit a request to registrar@millersville.edu.

  • How do I know whether or not I have satisfied my general education requirements at my prior institution?

    If you are unsure if you met the General Education requirement you are encouraged to contact the Registrar's office at your previous institution.

    Some institutions, like Millersville University, have a degree audit that will demonstrate your status in their General Education program. Others may not and you would need an official letter from the Registrar’s office at that institution indicating that you met the General Education requirements at the time of your departure.
