Co-Curricular Course Requirement (3 credits total)
Co-curricular courses count for financial aid and fulltime student status; however they are not included in
GPA calculations or in the 131 credits total required for
graduation.
Co-curricular courses may only be used once for this
requirement, except PE 0210 which may be used twice.
Free Elective Requirement (3 credits total)

Free electives are any class, 1000-level or higher that
are not co-curricular courses. They may be taken
pass/fail, unless the course is being used for a minor.
OPTIONAL - Minor (6 credits not double counting)
Each minor must include at least 6 credits of 3000level or higher courses that are not counting elsewhere
for your degree (required courses, technical electives,
HASS courses, etc.), EXCEPT these credits can count
toward your free elective requirement.
