Students submitting their minor application by May 15 are eligible to start minor coursework Summer B or Fall semester, whereas students submitting their application by October 15 are eligible to start minor coursework Spring semester. Applications received after the deadline will not be considered until the following review period. Students will be informed of decisions within one month of the application deadline (June 15 or November 15 respectfully).
Minor applications are reviewed twice a year – May 15th and October 15th.
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for a minor, students must meet the minimum credit requirement, overall and prerequisite GPA requirement, and complete all prerequisite coursework (have a letter grade, a satisfactory grade, or AP/IB test credit) by the review deadline. Course equivalents from state and community colleges are acceptable substitutes for minor prerequisite courses. If any prerequisite coursework is not completed by the deadline (May 15 or October 15), the minor application will be denied and you will be required to resubmit a new minor application once all prerequisite coursework has been completed.
