Double Use of Courses (Double Dipping)

Double Use of Courses (Double Dipping)

The use of courses to satisfy more than one requirement in the student's degree program (e.g., for a major requirement and the minor; for a General Education requirement and the minor, etc.) is subject to University General Education, college, and department policies on the double use of a course.  See the General Education policy below. Check with your major AND minor advisors for clarification on the double use of any courses within your primary and secondary degree program and the double use of any courses between two degree programs.

Double Use of General Education Courses

Courses used to fulfill the University-wide General Education Foundations, Tier One or Tier Two Requirements may not apply to a major, pre-major, or minor, with the following exceptions:

• Any Math or statistics course at or above the level of Calculus I (MATH 113, 122A/B, or 125) may also apply to a major or minor.
• The two higher level courses taken to satisfy the fourth-semester skill level of the Second Language Requirement for a B.A. degree may also apply to a major or minor (see Courses Excluded from the Minor).
• A maximum of two Tier Two courses may also be used to satisfy the minor requirements.

Students should check with their major and minor academic advisors (link is external) for clarification on the double use of any courses within their primary and secondary majors or minors and the double use of any courses between two degree programs.
