GENERAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS INFORMATION

Pass/Fail Grade Option. Courses to fulfill degree requirements may not be taken pass/fail unless they are offered only on a pass/fail basis. Students may elect to take one course per semester pass/fail. A total of no more than 24 credits may be taken pass/fail for a Bachelor's degree and no more than 12 credits for an Associate's degree. For more detailed information on the pass/fail grade option, see the chapter on Academic Regulations.

Physical Education. A maximum of two credits of HPER 120 may be counted toward the required minimum credits of all degrees in the college.

Duplicate Credits. Credits may be counted only once toward a degree. Courses repeated to improve a passing grade may not be counted a second time toward the minimum total credit hours required. Certain courses offered in a sequence will not be counted toward a degree if taken in reverse order of difficulty, e.g., a French 105 course would not be considered if taken after French 107; similarly, a Math 115 course would not be acceptable if taken after a Math 221 course.

Certain other courses have sufficient overlap of content, although taught at different degrees of difficulty, that credit would not be offered for both courses regardless of the order taken. For instance, credit will be offered only once for the following pairs of courses: MATH 221 and MATH 241, MATH 222 and MATH 242.
