OTHER PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:

  • Students must earn a minimum grade of "C" in each upper division course in Spanish.
  • Students are required to take the Spanish Exit Exam.

At least 39 of the 126 hours must be upper-division.

 ADVISEMENT: Department of Foreign Languages, Forest Drive Building, (912) 478-5181. Students under 45 hours are advised in the CLASS Advisement Center, 912-478-7740. Students in the UHP program are advised in their major departments.

 

 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

Subject to the limitations and qualifications stated elsewhere in this catalog, the requirements for the baccalaureate degree are as follows:

  • Undergraduate students should have their programs of study checked with their advisors at least three terms before anticipated completion of degree and submit an "Application for Graduation." All degree seeking graduate students expecting to graduate must apply for graduation no later than the semester before degree requirements are expected to be completed.
  • To have a degree awarded, the graduation fee must be paid and all other financial obligations or "holds" must be satisfied or removed before the end of the term that the student is planning to graduate.
  • Students must earn at least 25 percent (30 semester hours) of their degree requirements in residence at Georgia Southern University. The last 30 semester hours of work must be earned at Georgia Southern University, unless an exception is made for the student to be a transient student at another institution. A student cannot complete requirements immediately following the term he/she is in attendance as a transient student at another institution unless an official transcript of transient credit is received by the Registrar prior to the end of the semester at Georgia Southern University.
  • For the B.A. degree, a maximum of 30 semester hours of upper division course work in the major may be allowed to count toward the minimum of 125 hours required for graduation.
  • For the B.S. degree, a maximum of 40 semester hours of upper division course work in the major may be allowed to count toward the minimum of 125 hours required for graduation.
  • At least half of the courses required in the major must be taken at Georgia Southern University.
  • At least nine semester hours of the fifteen required in the minor must be taken at Georgia Southern University.
  • At least twelve semester hours of the eighteen required in the concentration must be taken at Georgia Southern University.
  • A maximum of three semester hours may be taken under the S/U grading system within any minor.
  • The total institution cumulative GPA of all courses (at least 125 semester hours) applying to the degree must be 2.0.
  • A student must fulfill all major, minor and specific requirements prescribed for the degree and satisfy the legal requirements with regard to evidence of an understanding of the History and Constitutions of Georgia and of the United States.
  • A student must pass the Regents' Test as required by the University System of Georgia (see Regents' Testing Program). Satisfactory scores or exemptions will be evidence of competence and shall satisfy the requirement. This is a requirement for graduation.
  • All students will be required to complete any current requirements beyond the catalog, such as legislative, certification and Board of Regents requirements.
  • Advisors may recommend course substitutions in the major when deemed necessary by submitting the request for approval to their department chair. The substitution is then submitted to the Registrar who will review each request in accordance with the Board of Regents and institutional policies.
  • For students whose initial enrollment is Fall 1998 and after, GSU 1120-Methods of Learning will not apply to the degree.
  • Credit for Military Science (MSCI) Courses will appear on the student's record. For students who are not pursuing a Military Science minor, four of these credit hours, either transfer or resident, may be applied toward the 125 hours required for a degree provided it meets with the approval of the appropriate advisor and department.
  • A minimum grade of "C" is required in all Area A courses.
  • A maximum of five physical activity courses may be applied to the 125 hours required for a degree.
  • Students typically satisfy the requirements for graduation listed in the catalog when they initially enroll at Georgia Southern University. However, with the approval of their advisor, students enrolled Fall 1998 and after may elect to satisfy the graduation requirements specified in any of the catalogs in effect while they are enrolled. A change of major does not constitute a change of catalog for these students. If a major is changed after Fall 1998, students must satisfy semester major requirements. However, if a student has been out of school for ten or more calendar years and re-enters, the current catalog requirements (at time of re-entry) will apply. Any exceptions require the approval of the advisor, department chair, and dean.
  • All outstanding "I" or "IP" grades must be cleared and all transcripts from other institutions must be received by the end of the term the student plans to graduate.
  • Academic and financial obligations not met by the end of the term will result in the conferring of the degree the following term.
