Students who complete the co-curricular requirements will be given two options toward the elective requirements in fourth year. These options are:

Option 1 Use Co-Curricular Course Credit as One of the Required Electives

Under this current policy the student must pay for six credit hours of co-curricular credit, but would only be required to take an additional four electives in the fourth year. The course will show up as an elective on the transcript for 6 credit hours.
Option 2 Register for the Normal Amount of Electives

A student does not want to use their co-curricular course as one of their required electives. Under this additional option, a student would not be required to pay for the six co-curricular credit hours, but would be required to take and pay for the normal number of electives. The co-curricular course would still show up on the transcript as an additional fourth year elective, but for zero credits and no assessment.

Changes to the above requirements need written approval by the Director of Co-Curricular Program.
