Notes on Three-Year Academic Plan
- Minimum Required Units
Total: 15.0 units. Geography: 6.0 units. Outside of Faculty of Environment: 3.0 units. All Environmental Studies (ENVS) courses are included in the cumulative major average (see note 3) but only 2.0 units may be counted in meeting the minimum required courses in Geography and Environmental Management.
- Course Load
No more than 2.5 units may be taken in a term without the approval of the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Studies). Normally, approval for a sixth 0.5 unit will be considered only if the cumulative Geography and Environmental Management average is 78% or higher.
- Average Requirements
Students must maintain an overall cumulative average of 60% and a Major cumulative average of 65%. All required courses must be passed.
- Restriction on number of First-Year Courses
For a three-year General degree, a student must have at least 8.5 units at or above the 200-level.
