UNIVERSITY GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
A minimum of 125 semester hours of credit is required for a baccalaureate degree. Transfer students are required to complete a minimum of 60 credits at four-year institutions. The last 30 credits must be UND institutional credit. Institutional Credit is academic credit awarded by the university. The following pages describe the requirements which must be met by all students seeking the baccalaureate degree. These include the General Education requirements in (I) Communication, (II) Social Sciences, (III) Arts and Humanities, and (IV) Mathematics, Science and Technology, as well as regulations concerning majors, minors, grade point average, upper division courses, and residence. A minimum of three (3) credits of the General Education Requirements must meet the World Cultures designation. Students cannot fulfill the requirement by taking a CLEP or Placement Exam.
The philosophy guiding the General Education portion of the University's graduation requirements (I through IV) is explained in the immediately preceding section of the catalog. (Note: engineering students should pay special attention to General Education requirements for engineering students - see page 50. The General Education requirements may be satisfied by:
(1) Successful completion of classwork acceptable for that area, as specified below, or
(2) Achievement of the minimum score required for credit in College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) subject examinations.

A minor is not required by the University but may be required in some programs for an undergraduate degree. A student may declare a minor in the office of the dean of the college in which the minor is offered.
VIII. Double Use of Courses
(1) Courses within a major or required by a program may, at the same time, fulfill General Education Requirements for the University. (There are a few exceptions to this general rule. These exceptions are stated under departmental requirements, for example under the School of Communication.)
(2) Courses may NOT generally be used, however, to count at the same time toward the total credits needed for 2 majors, 2 minors, or a major and a minor.
(3) In certain cases courses may count toward a major (or minor) and, at the same time, fulfill "Extradepartmental Requirements" for another major or program. Consult college or departmental offices for more specific information.
IX. Grade Point Average
To qualify for a degree a student must achieve a minimum 2.00 (C) average on all University work. For transfer students, it is required that the overall average (including transfer work) be 2.00 (C) and that the average work taken at the University of North Dakota be 2.00 (C).
Some undergraduate colleges require higher averages. (See requirements under specific College information.)
X. Residence Requirements
A candidate for the bachelor's degree who enters with transfer credit must obtain from the University a minimum of 30 semester hours of institutional credit and 60 semester credits from a four-year college. Fifteen semester credits in the student's major and four semester credits in the minor, if a minor is declared, must be institutional credit. Some colleges of the University may require more than 15 hours of institutional credit in the major. The last 30 credits for the bachelor's degree ordinarily must be institutional credit.
Exceptions to General Graduation Requirements. Any exception to the above general degree requirements must be requested by the student at least six weeks prior to his or her expected graduation date. Petitions must be initiated in the office of the student's dean.
Formal Application for the Degree Sought. Candidates for degrees must make written application to the Registrar or to the Dean of the college of the degree within the first four weeks of the semester in which the student expects to receive the degree. Blank application forms may be obtained from the Registrar. Students applying for two or more degrees to be awarded simultaneously must receive approval from each College granting the degrees.
Conferring of Additional Baccalaureate Degrees. Students who have majors falling under different degrees may be eligible for a second degree. Candidates for a second UND baccalaureate degree must complete a minimum of 155 hours (30 additional hours beyond the University minimum of 125 hours for a first baccalaureate degree). Each successive baccalaureate degree beyond that will add 30 hours to the minimum requirement. All college and major requirements for the second degree must also be fulfilled. At least one-half of the additional 30 hours must be institutional credit. A minimum of 15 semester credits of the major and a minimum of four semester credits of the minor, if declared, must be institutional credit.
