Courses presented for the bachelor's degree are limited to those in which a grade of at least 4 has been attained. A student must achieve a GPA of at least 5.5 in each declared area of study. Language or other study abroad may, with special permission of the Associate Dean, count toward the residence requirement. If a student who is registered in an Augustana degree program wishes to enroll in a course offered by another institution and apply the credits for this course toward the Augustana degree, the student should obtain the approval of the appropriate Divisional Chairperson or Divisional Registration Officer before registering for the course. If approval is granted, the Office of the Registrar will issue the student a Visiting Student letter.

In order to graduate, a candidate must fulfill all program requirements and satisfy the grade point average and residence requirements specified above.
