Satisfactory Progress
By the end of the semester in which the student has attempted 60 hours (including transfer, advanced placement, advanced standing, and credit by examination), “satisfactory progress” towards a B.S. degree in the College of Natural Resources and Environment will include the following minimum criteria:
- Having a grade point average of at least 2.0
- Passing at least 24 semester credits that apply to Pathways for General Education
- Passing the required 1000-level courses in Biology, Chemistry, English, and Math
Graduation Requirements
In-major GPA Computation
Includes all courses designated SBIO. The acceptable cumulative minimum is 2.0
Sequencing
Courses should be taken in a sequence that ensures that prerequisite or co-requisite requirements are met. Free elective courses may also have prerequisite requirements. Students should plan ahead and ensure that they have completed prerequisites or are enrolled in co-requisite courses. Some courses required for this major have prerequisites. Please refer to Undergraduate Course Catalog or consult your advisor for information about prerequisite requirements.
Foreign Language Requirement
2 years of one language in high school or an 1105-1106 foreign language (e.g., FR, GR, SPAN) grouping if less than two years of one language in high school.
