in the upper-division courses required in the major program. Higher
averages than this may be required only in Honors Programs.

Major Program Privilege

Notes on Minimum
Grade Requirement
(1) The wording
"the courses required in the major program" is understood to include
only the courses required for the major and offered by the program of the
student's major (or programs in the case of an interdisciplinary or interdepartmental
major). A major can include additional
courses required for the major in this set with the approval of CEP. In these cases, the list of required classes
counted in the averages in (A) must be published in the catalogue with the
requirements for the major. (AM 3 April 03)
(2) All the
courses that are listed in the Catalog as required for the major and are
offered by the same department or program (or programs in the case of an
interdisciplinary or interdepartmental major) will be automatically counted
without exception, and the academic unit cannot exclude any required course
in this category from the GPA computation for IR 390.(AM
3 April 03)
(3) The GPA
will be computed every quarter, and students may be denied the privilege
of pursuing a major program before the beginning of the following quarter.
Academic units must establish procedures for notifying students who are
denied continuance in major programs.
