When a course is waived, the student is not required to take the equivalent Calvary course but is required to replace it with a Calvary course; usually, these substitute courses must be taken within the same discipline as the waived course, but courses from other appropriate disciplines may be considered at the discretion of the Dean or Registrar. A course may be waived if a course at another graduate school would normally qualify for transfer credit. Students wishing to have courses waived should fill out an Application to Waive a Course (available at the seminary office, by e-mail, or by download).

While normally a CBTS course may not be waived unless the previous course was taken at the graduate level, there are two exceptions.
Waiving Elementary Hebrew I and II. Students who wish to have their Elementary Hebrew requirements waived must take a standard proficiency exam administered by the Chair of the Department of Old Testament. As with all waived courses, Elementary Hebrew I and II must be replaced by courses from within the same discipline.

Waiving Elementary Greek I and II and Greek Syntax. Students who have successfully completed Elementary Greek I and II on the undergraduate level need not take Elementary Greek. For students wishing to be exempted from Greek Syntax, the Chair of the Department of New Testament will administer a written competency exam to determine whether their Greek ability justifies the waiving of Greek Syntax. Unlike other waived courses, Elementary Greek I and II are replaced by general electives.
