Discussion Items
-
Second BS/BA Degree Acquired after Graduation?
McDougall posed the question to the Council as to what are the requirements
to obtain a second major under the same degree after graduation by a returning
student; in particular, he asked who sets the requirements – the
individual colleges or the university, what is officially placed on their
transcripts, and what catalog do they fall under? It was decided
that this matter would be placed on the October agenda as a discussion
item, and Sandy Hinkle, Registrar, would research this and address questions
at that time.
