Consult with the Director of Student Academic Services regarding general requirements and procedures. All general University requirements and minimum admission requirements for the desired departmental programs must be met by any Plan II program.

Select a faculty advisor with expertise in the interdisciplinary major.

Select another member of the faculty to serve on an advisory committee.

Develop a formal proposal with the committee.

Send proposal to Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.

Minor modifications to an approved Plan II program may be made if approved by both the faculty advisor and the Director of Student Academic Services. Other modifications require the full process outlined.

Many factors affect both the length of time and the number of credit hours an individual student will require to complete the baccalaureate degree. At UNCG the median number of months to graduation for full time students is 46. The median number of credit hours completed is 125.

Full time undergraduate students are expected to complete at least 15 credit hours per semester and failure to do so may lengthen the student's time to graduation. Some majors do require formal admission beyond that required for admission to the University in general.

Students should meet with their academic advisors regularly to plan their academic schedules. To graduate, students must complete specific University requirements as well as requirements within the major. Students who change majors may find that additional requirements must be fulfilled. Changing majors excessively, or after the third or fourth semester of study, may also lengthen the time to graduation. Also see Tuition Surcharge.

Criteria for admission to a specific major (outlined in this Bulletin) and continuation in that major may include a University grade point average exceeding that required for continuation within the University as a whole. Students considering such majors should become familiar with the guidelines, and work with an academic advisor as soon as possible to ensure that they meet the criteria.

 

Changes in Degree Requirements and Other Regulations

The University reserves the right to make changes as required in course offerings, curricula, academic policies and other rules and regulations affecting students, to be effective whenever determined by the University. These changes will govern current and formerly enrolled students. Enrollment of all students is subject to these conditions.

Summary of Undergraduate Degree Requirements
and Limits

2. A grade point average on the hours attempted of not less than 2.0 3. At least 36 semester hours of courses taken at the 300 course level or above 4. At least 31 hours in residence at UNCG, 12 of which must be in the major field and 9 of which must be in the minor if a minor is sought The College of Arts and Sciences and each of the six professional schools Joseph M. Bryan School of Business and Economics; Education; Health and Human Performance; Human Environmental Sciences; Music; and Nursing have structured their individual degree programs to comply with this all-University degree framework. Students who are undecided about their major are considered to be enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences and should follow the College requirements (see College of Arts & Sciences). Satisfying these requirements permits a student to pursue a major either in Arts and Sciences or in one of the professional schools. Studies leading to the baccalaureate degree are offered in the programs listed under each of the academic units. See Undergraduate Areas of Study.  Special Curriculum Option (Plan II) For students whose needs are not met by the formal majors and degrees offered at UNCG, a special curriculum optioncalled Plan IIallows students to design their own course of study in consultation with appropriate faculty. Students desiring to pursue Plan II should be advised that there is no guarantee that their proposed program will lead to graduation until it has been fully approved. Developing a program is a time consuming process, often taking one year from initial intent to final approval. Students must file a statement of intent to pursue Plan II in the Office of Student Academic Services prior to registering for their last 45 hours. Required steps have been adopted by the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee for approving Plan II programs. The following is an abbreviated description of the procedures that must be followed:

122	Minimum number of hours required for an undergraduate degree
168	Maximum number of hours that may be attempted toward an undergraduate degree
36	Minimum number of hours required towards the degree at or above the 300 course level
31	Minimum required hours in residence at UNCG (at least 31 hours)
31	Minimum required hours in residence at UNCG beyond the first degree for a second undergraduate degree
2.00	Minimum cumulative GPA required for graduation
