Classification of Students
Undergraduates may enroll in one of five categories: 1. Full-Time Students 2. Part-Time Degree Students 3. Part-Time Non-Degree Students 4. Second-Major Students a) The student declares the major as early as possible and in advance of graduation. b) The second major is completed concurrently with the first major within the 10 semesters allowed for the completion of all graduation requirements. c) An authorized representative of the second major certifies to the Registrar that all requirements for that second major have been completed. d) The second major lies in the same school or college as the first or declared major or the academic dean of the second school or college certifies to the Registrar that all requirements for graduation from that school or college have been satisfied. e) Students wishing to obtain their second major from the Isenberg School of Management must formally apply prior to the start of their sixth semester of full-time study (75 completed credits for part-time students). Applications should be made through the Isenberg School of Management Undergraduate Counseling Office. 5. Second-Bachelor’s Degree Students a) Students and graduates of this university who wish to earn a second bachelor’s degree must complete a minimum of 30 additional credits, all of which must be in residence (i.e., students who want to work for two bachelor’s degrees simultaneously do not have to complete one and then start the other anew). b) Graduates of other institutions who wish to earn a second bachelor’s degree at this university must complete a minimum of 45 credits in residence at the Amherst campus, not including enrollment through the Division of Continuing and Professional Education. (For those who have previously attended this university, residency requirements are handled individually.) |
