To
be admitted, retained, and approved for graduation as a GISSA minor, you
must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 for all courses taken within
the minor, including collateral courses and regardless of a declaration of
academic bankruptcy.
-
You
must have completed Geography 276 or 279 at time of declaration.
-
If
you are a transfer student without credits earned at UWSP in the minor,
you will be admitted as a provisional minor until you have completed the
minimum requirements.
-
If
you have not met the minimum requirements to be approved in the minor, you
may be admitted as a provisional minor with written consent of the chair.
You will be admitted as an approved minor once you meet the minimum
requirements.
-
If
you do not maintain a 2.50 GPA, you will be placed on probation for the
minor and will have two semesters to restore your GPA. If you fail to do
so, you will be dropped from the minor. The department will attempt to
notify students of any changes in GPA status and consult with GISSA minors
who are at or below the 2.50 GPA. However,
it is your responsibility to know your own GPA status.
