What if I get a “D” of “F” in a class?

If you earn a “D” or “F” in a required course for your major, you must retake the course. You will need to pick up an Option to Repeat Form from the Registrar’s Office (AC 301). This form can also be found on Norse Express. It is recommended that you fill out this form before you retake the course. If you repeat the class and do not complete and return the Option to Repeat Form, your new grade will not replace the original “D” or “F”.

How do I declare a minor or area of concentration?

You must complete a Program Change/Declaration form to declare a minor or area of concentration. This form is available at the Registrar’s Office (AC 301). It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they have met all the requirements of their chosen minor or area of concentration. Minor/concentration requirements can be found in the catalog. Students can also schedule an appointment with an advisor in the area in which they have declared a minor/concentration. For example, if a student wants to minor in Psychology, he or she can obtain the requirements by reviewing them in their catalog or meeting with a Psychology advisor.

Can I have a major and a minor / area of concentration in the same department?

Yes. In fact student in our department often use other majors in the department to satisfy the area of concentration / minor requirement. Please note that you cannot major and minor in the same subject (i.e., you cannot major and minor in political science, but you can major in political science and minor in criminal justice). If you pick a minor or concentration outside the department, you must get that department to certify your minor / area of concentration certification.
