This worksheet is to be used for advising purposes only and does not replace the catalog.
Students must also meet the following requirements:
 The UAA General University requirement (GUR)
 The General Education Requirements (GER)
 College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) Requirements
Important notes:
 All courses listed under Major Requirements must be completed with a grade of C or
higher.
 All prerequisites for biology courses must be completed with a grade of C or higher.
 For a course with a lecture and laboratory component, students may not carry
forward an individual lecture or laboratory grade from a previous semester in which
the course was taken.
Some major requirements may also be used to satisfy both the College of Arts and Sciences
BS requirements.
