OPEN ELECTIVES: 6 to 9 hours of open electives. ASSESSMENT: The student must help the advisor in maintaining an assessment file in which documentation is kept from two different periods, during the intermediate-level courses, and during the last semester of study. A Senior Assessment Exam is required. Read under “Academic Majors, Academic Minors, and Field of Study” in the front of the NGCSU Bulletin. Note in particular that a total 39 hours of upper level courses are required for the degree. If the upper-level major and minor courses do not add up to 39 hours, additional upper-level courses must be taken in other areas (e.g., electives). No upper-level courses may be listed in the Core (Areas A – F). These notes are meant as a quick reference on a few important points concerning advisement. They are not to be taken as complete. The ultimate source of information for students and for advisors is the NGCSU Bulletin 2010-2012. Students are responsible for reading the catalog and planning their programs of study, aided by help from the faculty advisor.
