| Biological Sciences Major Disqualification Policy: |
| The Biological Sciences have adopted a major disqualification policy that is intended to encourage students to take their performance in the introductory requirements seriously and to make a strong effort to pass their introductory coursework. |
| Students who receive more than one non-passing grade in the following introductory major requirements will not be permitted to major in any of the Biological Sciences majors: |
BIOL 20A, Cell & Molecular Biology
BIOE 20B, Development & Physiology
BIOE 20C, Ecology & Evolution
CHEM 1A, General Chemistry
CHEM 1B, General Chemistry
CHEM 1C, General Chemistry
MATH 11A, Calculus with Applications
MATH 11B, Calculus with Applications
MATH 19A, Calculus for Science, Engineering, & Mathematics
MATH 19B, Calculus for Science, Engineering, & Mathematics |
| Students will be assessed for disqualification after grades are submitted each quarter and at the end of each summer session. |
| Students may appeal their disqualification within the appeal period by writing a letter to the department chair. This appeal must be submitted to the advising office no later than 15 days from the date the disqualification notification was mailed, or the 10th day of classes in the quarter of their disqualification, whichever is later. The advising office will subsequently notify the student, the college, and the Office of the Registrar of the decision, no later than 15 days after the submission of the appeal. |
| A student who has been disqualified from the major may, no earlier than three months from the date of the disqualification, petition to be reinstated. This application will be considered only if there is substantial new evidence that the student is capable of making normal progress in the major. |
