Human Biology, Health, and Society 2022-2023 05.02.22

College Polices:

 120 Overall Credits

o Students must complete 120 credits toward graduation.

o A maximum of 15 credits of AP credit and in absentia credit can count towards the 120 total credits.

o 15 credits of Study Abroad/Exchange, Cornell-In-Washington or 12 credits of Capital semester can count towards total electives.

 43 HE Credits

o Students must complete a minimum of 43 HE credits.

o HE non-departmental courses at the 2000-level and below do not count toward the 43 HE credits.

o Students must enroll in a minimum of one 3-credit course each semester in HE for their first four semesters, excluding winter and

summer sessions (beginning with students entering in fall 2022).

 9 HE Credits outside the major

o Students must complete a minimum of 9 HE credits outside of NS. These credits are given for any Human Ecology course outside your

major (except 4030). These can be taken S/U only if course is NOT used to fulfill a curriculum requirement [Areas 1-18].

 Pass/Fail Courses [S/U]

o S/U grading option may NOT be used for any required course [Areas 1-18] unless it is the only grade option offered for those courses.

o S/Us MAY be used for the 9 HE Credits outside the major and for electives in Area 19.

o Students may apply no more than 12 credits of S/U towards graduation requirements. If a required course is only offered S/U, it will not

count towards this limit. Students may take more S/Us if they choose, but the additional credit will not be applied towards graduation.

o The deadline for changing grade options is the 57

calendar day of the semester, the same as the “drop” deadline.

 Special Study Courses [4000, 4010, 4020, 4030]

o A maximum of 12 credits of special study course work from Human Ecology or other colleges will count towards the 120 overall credits

(e.g. DNS special studies course work includes NS 4000, 4010, 4020, and 4030). Courses will be indicated on the class roster with a

Component of either IND or RSC. [Additional credits can be taken but will not be applied.]

o A maximum of 12 credits of 4000-4030 may count toward the 43 HE credit requirement.

o A maximum of 3 credits of 4000-4020 (not including 4030) may count towards the 9 credits outside the major requirement as long as the

special study is in a department outside the student’s major.

o Students cannot TA (4030) the same course for credit more than once or take and TA the same course simultaneously. 4030 does not

fulfill any requirements towards the major. Registration for 4030 may not exceed 5 credit hours per semester.
