It is the student's responsibility to obtain a copy of this calendar and become familiar with the rules and regulations applying to their course of study. The student initiates a declaration of a major, joint major, honors, joint honors, or minor program by filling out a program approval form. The student must provide the advisor with a current copy of their student record so that all pertinent information can be checked. The advisor will help the student identify any weaknesses or deficiencies in their course of study and suggest a plan of action which may help remedy these difficulties. When the student has completed the program approval form, the Department considers the application once the final grades for the current semester are received.
Students can check the board outside the advisor's office for results.
Student numbers of successful candidates will be posted and letters confirming acceptance will be mailed shortly thereafter. To be approved by the Department of Economics as an honors or joint honors student, you must have a minimum CGPA of 3.0 . Required courses in the lower division must be completed with a grade of C- or better prior to acceptance into an economics program. If a student is unsuccessful in their application, they may appeal the decision to the Undergraduate Chair or reapply the following semester.
