SCIENCE
Academic Policies (Added July 27, 1999)
No more than 48 units within the major may be applied toward the BA or BS degree. That applies to Honors courses in the major and courses cross-listed with an academic committee or center. Excluded from the 48-unit rule are freshman composition, the first year (elementary) of a foreign language (see department headings for exceptions) and courses cross-listed with a second academic department if the latter is the home department.
General Advising
Each department in the College of Science has major advisors that are available to answer your questions regarding admission to the major, registration planning, transfer credit, internships, and degree checks.
General education advising for all majors except Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, General Biology and Molecular & Cellular Biology takes place in the College of Science Advising Office. (These three majors receive general education advising in their major departments.)
The advising office also provides information about college and University policies and procedures, declaration of major and minor, student-initiated petitions, student academic progress, and educational decision-making.
