The department may require that the student have taken specific courses and have attained a specific level of competency in those courses before admission is granted. However an overall GPA above a 2.0 will be approved only in compelling circumstances. Such requirements will be initiated within the department but must not be in conflict with unversity regulations. Requirements must be published in the catalog after they have been reviewed and approved by the APC and the Senate. Responsibility for determining whether a student satisfied the requirements rests with the department.
