Advising Notes
- New students should request an option check sheet from the department.
- All students should make an appointment with an academic adviser prior to registration each semester.
- CR/NC grading is not permitted for courses included in the major and
additional requirements, except
work experience (ENOL 193, 194; FSC 193; FSM 193; and NUTR 193). - Upper-division units (i.e., 100-level courses) may not apply toward
the 40 upper-division unit degree
requirement until 45 units have been completed. - Grade Policy - all courses listed under major and additional requirements require a grade of C or better.
- General Education courses designated as required by the department are prerequisite to many courses in the program of study.
- The upper-division writing skills requirement can be met by passing
the university upper-division writing
examination or by taking an approved upper-division writing skills course. One unit of credit (in ENGL 100W)
may be earned for passing the examination if requested by the student; by obtaining a letter grade of C or higher
in an approved course (e.g., PLANT 110W) the student meets the university writing skills requirement. - One semester prior to graduation make an appointment with your academic
adviser to prepare and file an
official Certification of Major requirement form. - The General Education units of 51 may be exceeded depending upon the selection of courses.
