4. Students must take three courses from one of the following concentrations: Health; Consumer; or Family/Social Welfare. Students must take a minimum of two courses from the Category A list within their concentration. While a course outside of Human Ecology can satisfy one of the three courses required in a concentration, these credits will not count toward the 40 credits required in Human Ecology, nor toward the 33 PAM credits needed in each major. A course in Human Ecology but outside PAM can be used to satisfy one of the three concentration courses, but students still need 33 PAM credits in Category II (PAM courses in Category I do not count towards these credit requirements.). A maximum of 3 credits of PAM 400, PAM 401, PAM 402 may be used toward the 33 credits required in Category II. PAM 403 credits may not be used toward the 33 credits required in Category II.

Graduation Requirements & Policies
See the Human Ecology Student Guide or Courses of Study for complete details. Cornell Credit Requirements • Students must earn a minimum of 120 total academic credits. There is no limit to the number of credits that may be taken in the statutory colleges of Cornell. • Of the 120 credits, at least 60 credits must be earned at Cornell University. Human Ecology Credit Requirements • Students must complete a minimum of 40 Human Ecology credits in Category II. • Students must earn 9 credits in Human Ecology departments outside the major from Categories I and II. - These Human Ecology courses outside the major may not include HE 100, HE 101, HE 120, HE 201, or any 403 course. A maximum of 3 credits of special studies (400, 401, and 402), or any internship credit may be applied to this requirement. A maximum of 6 credits of HE 480 or 7 credits of PAM 392 may be used. • Human Ecology courses used to satisfy distribution requirements in Category I: - WILL NOT count towards the 40-credit minimum in Category II. - WILL satisfy the 9-credit requirement for coursework outside the major. (Exception: B&S majors must refer to the “NOTE” on B&S curriculum sheets at the end of Category II requirements for appropriate guidelines.) Minimum Semester Requirements • Students enrolling in the college as freshmen must complete at least 12 credits of Human Ecology courses by the end of the fourth semester, and at least 5 credits of Human Ecology courses must be taken in each of the freshman and sophomore years (ECON 101 and 102 may be used to fulfill this requirement). • Students must carry 12 credits each semester, excluding physical education, to be matriculated as full-time students. (Exception: mature students) Requirements for Majors • Students must fulfill the requirements specified for a major that are in effect at the time of their matriculation or thereafter. Endowed Credits • Students are allowed 21 credits of endowed electives. (Endowed colleges are: Arts & Sciences; Architecture, Art, & Planning; Engineering; and Hotel.) Endowed courses used to fulfill Category I requirements are not counted as part of the billable 21 credits. (Exception: see note below) Endowed credits in excess of 21 will be billed at the endowed rate of tuition. • To the extent possible, courses taken in the endowed colleges will be counted to meet distribution requirements in Category I. However, endowed credits in excess of 40 in Category I will count against the 21 allowed endowed elective credits. • Endowed credits earned in Category II (even if the endowed courses are required) and Category III will be counted against the 21. • The required credits listed in the requirements charts for Categories I and II are the minimums; credits taken in excess of those minimums count toward the additional credits required in Category III to make a total of 120 credits (exclusive of physical education).There is no limit to the number of credits that may be taken in the statutory colleges of Cornell.

S/U Grade Options • S/U grading option may NOT be used for courses in Category I or required courses in Category II unless it is the only grade option offered for those courses. S/Us MAY be used for the 9 credits of Human Ecology coursework outside of one’s major and for electives in Category III. • Students may apply no more than 12 credits of S/U towards graduation. If a required course is only offered S/U, it will not count toward this limit. Also, Honors Research 499 taken S/U does not count. Students may take more S/Us if they choose, but the additional credit cannot be applied towards graduation. Special Studies • Students may only use 12 credits of 400, 401, 402, or 403 courses toward graduation. • Additional credits of 400, 401, 402 or 403 courses can be taken but will not be applied towards graduation. ”00" Courses • “00” courses do not count towards graduation requirements but do count towards full-time status.
