* Students can apply for upper-level admission during the semester in which they are completing the pre-major components listed
above and, if the GPA requirement is met, will be offered conditional admission to the upper-level program. Grades will be verified at
the end of the semester.
** A student can repeat a pre-major course to meet the GPA requirement. If a student repeats a pre-major course as one of their three
University-accepted repeat options, only the repeat grade will be factored into the pre-major coursework GPA. If a student repeats a
course outside of the University-accepted repeat options then the course grades will be averaged and then factored into the pre-major
coursework GPA.
