Requirements for Minors
It is desirable that 16 hours become an integrated package. Students are expected to work with the School advisor for minors (Maggie Kettwig) to obtain approval of courses taken prior to enrollment. Students must maintain at least a "C" average in all courses attempted. Courses taken Pass/Fail will not count towards the 16 hours requirement.
It is the student's responsibility to complete the form REGIS109, "Petition for Certifying a Second Major or Minor" and obtain required signatures from Maggie Kettwig in Hulbert 101. This will result in the School receiving a copy of the student's transcript upon graduation. The School will then certify that requirements for the minor have been met.
