College Requirements:
• Students must complete a minimum of 9 HUMEC credits outside of PAM. These credits are given for any Human Ecology course outside your major from Category I, II, or III. These can be taken S/U only if course is NOT used to fulfill a curriculum requirement. • Students must complete a minimum of 40 HUMEC credits. Hum Ec credits are given in Category II (in your major) and Category III (electives). • Pass/Fail Courses [S/U] o S/U grading option may NOT be used for any required course [i.e., distribution requirements in Category I or major courses in Category II] unless it is the only grade option offered for those courses. o S/Us MAY be used for the 9 credits of Human Ecology coursework outside of the major and for electives in Category III. o Students may apply no more than 12 credits of S/U towards graduation requirements. If a required course is only offered S/U, it will not count towards this limit. Students may take more S/Us if they choose, but the additional credit will not be applied towards graduation. o The deadline for changing grade options is 3 weeks after the start of classes, the same as the “add” deadline. • Special Study Courses [400, 401, 402, 403] o A total of 12 credits of special study course work from Human Ecology or other colleges will count towards the 120 graduation credit requirement. [Additional credits can be taken but will not be applied.] o A maximum of three credits of 400-402 (not including 403) may count towards the “credit outside the major” category as long as the special study is in a department outside the student’s major. o Students cannot TA (403) the same course for credit more than once or take and TA the same course simultaneously. 403 does not fulfill any requirements towards the major. Registration for 403 may not exceed 5 credit hours per semester. • Students must complete 120 credits overall, exclusive of physical education and “00” courses. • Elective credits can be earned in Human Ecology or elsewhere.
