Important Note

Regarding D grades in the CRJ interdisciplinary major:

Students should also be aware that they cannot have more than 4 credit hours of “D” in the CRJ interdisciplinary major (including prerequisites PSY 100 , POL 101D , SOC 100D ). If you must repeat a course under those circumstances, you will not be given duplicate credit for the same course. (Note: PSY 278 and ECN 279 are equivalent courses.) If a student has more than one “D” in the CRJ interdisciplinary major, he/she should consider whether to remain in the CRJ major.
