Students with a University grade point average of less than 3.00 may not take more than two organized psychology courses in a semester. There are currently approximately 2,100 psychology majors and double majors, including 1,600 with grade point averages at the University that are higher than 2.50 overall. A minimum grade point average requirement to declare and to remain in psychology will encourage students to carefully consider their choice of major and to establish a record of success at the University before undertaking psychology degree requirements. Students with lower grade point averages who attempt more than two psychology courses in a semester do not perform as well in them as when they take only one or two. Limiting the number of psychology courses that students may take in one semester will reduce enrollment pressures on psychology classes.
