Nonstandard Course Waiver Request

Overview

Schools can submit a nonstandard course waiver (NSCW) to offer courses not found in the Elementary/Middle Course Titles and Descriptions (CTD) or the High School Course Titles and Descriptions. Schools must receive approval from the Indiana Department of Education for a nonstandard course waiver prior to offering a course or awarding credit for a course that is not listed in one of the state-approved CTDs. Initial nonstandard course waiver requests should be submitted five (5) months prior to the planned implementation date. Requests to enact a major modification in operation of a school, or school corporation, should be submitted eight (8) months prior to the planned implementation. Request for amendments to, or extensions of, a previous approval should be submitted three (3) months prior to the planned implementation.
