Geology Minor
-
To be admitted, retained, and approved for graduation as an
approved geology minor, you must have a minimum cumulative grade point
average of 2.50 for all courses taken within the major or minor, including
collateral courses and regardless of a declaration of academic bankruptcy.
-
You must complete Geology 104 before you declare your
minor.
-
If you transfer and have no credits earned at UW-SP in the
minor, you will be a provisional minor until you complete the minimum
requirements.
-
If you do not meet the minimum requirements, you must have
written approval of the department chair to be a provisional minor.
-
You will be admitted as an approved minor once you meet
the minimum requirements.
-
Geology, geography, and biology courses taken at the 300 or
400 level on a pass/fail basis do NOT count toward the minor.
-
If you do not maintain a 2.50 GPA, you will be placed on
geology probation and will have two semesters to restore your GPA or be
dropped from the minor. The department will attempt to notify and consult
with students who are at or below a 2.50 GPA. However, it is your
responsibility to know your own GPA status.
