FOOTNOTES
[1] Transfer students instead take ESF332 Seminar for New Transfer Students (0 credits).
[2] Physics 211 and 221 (taken together) will also satisfy this requirement and, along with Physics 212 and 222, should be
considered by students in pre-health professions and certain other career paths (see your advisor).
[3] These credits may be obtained through an elective course at Cranberry Lake Biological station, an approved additional
internship (EFB420, beyond the required internship noted above) or field trip course (EFB500), or EFB418 (Interpretation of
Field Biology). Approved field courses from other institutions can also fulfill this requirement.

HOW TO READ THIS PLAN SHEET
Student must match "required courses" with "earned courses" in order to satisfy curriculum requirements. Required courses are
derived from the SUNY- ESF Course Catalog for the appropriate year. Earned courses may be a combination of ESF courses and
transfer courses, including advanced placement credit. The requirements are split between lower and upper division, and the
"summaries" display the total credit hours required, earned, and deficient in each division.
"ID" refers to the Course ID, which may be an official College course ID or an abbreviation for a transfer course or course
requirement.
Transfer courses will refer to the number of a transfer college identified at the top of the plan sheet.
Courses taken at ESF will display the semester taken and the grade received.
"Semester" - term and year in
which course was taken:
FA - Fall term
SP - Spring term
SU - Summer term
"Type" of Course
IP - course in progress
Memo - credit added via memo
Petn - credit added via petition
