Standing Subcommittee on Retention and Transfer

The following new entrance to major requirements have been approved by the Standing Subcommittee on Retention and Transfer:

#RT-112

Major in Graphic Design (GD), B.Des. degree, Arts and Architecture
--effective Summer Session 2006

Acceptance into the Graphic Design major is determined by a portfolio review by faculty after the completion of A&A 101, A&A 102S, A&A 103, A&A 104, GD 100 GA, GD 200, GD 201, PHOTO 100 GA, and PHOTO 200 with grades of C or better in all of these courses. Typically, this review will take place in the fourth semester. Applicants who are not accepted into the major may re-apply the following year but must realize that this course of action could delay their graduation by at least one year.

#RT-113

Major in Forensic Science, B.S. degree, Science
--effective Summer Session 2006

In order to be eligible for entrance to the Forensic Science major, a student must have: (1) attained at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (2) completed BIOL 110 GN(4), CHEM 012 GN(3), CHEM 013 GN(3), CHEM 014 GN(1), MATH 140 GQ(4), MATH 141 GQ(4), and earned a grade of C or better in each of these courses.

Approximately 60 students can be admitted into the program each year. If the number of applicants exceeds 60 students then requirement (1) may be superseded by requirement (3). Requirement (3): a forensics admissions committee will convene and, for those students who have met requirement (2) above, grant admission into the program based on cumulative grade point average in all courses from highest to lowest until the number of available slots is filled. The forensics admissions committee meets as necessary.
