Waive
Finance I and take Finance II
Students
pursuing this option are expected to have mastery of the material
covered in Finance I. Students wishing to pursue this option
must secure a waiver of Finance I.
Who
may qualify for a waiver?
To qualify
for a Finance I waiver, you need to have completed a comparable
course at a recognized academic institution with a grade comparable
to an A. The type and level of material covered in the course
are represented by the chapters 1-13 and 23 of the text
by Brealey, Myers, and Allen, Principles of Corporate
Finance. You do not need to request a Finance
I waiver in order to enroll in Finance
440 (Turbo - Finance I/II). To help you decide whether
you should waive Finance I, we have prepared a self-assessment
test which you can take through the web before you arrive
on campus.

Self-Assessment:
Should I request a waiver?
To help
you decide whether you should waive Finance I and enroll in
Finance II, we have constructed two self assessment exams.
Based upon your score on the first part, you will be advised
to take Finance I, Turbo, or continue and take Part II. Depending
upon your score on the second part, you will be advised to
take Finance I/Turbo, Investments (460), or to waive Finance
I and register for Finance II.
