XIII. Undergraduate Degrees

D. Requirements for a Degree

  1. To be a candidate for a degree, undergraduate students must have passed or be enrolled in all courses required for the degree, must have a scholastic average for their entire academic program of at least 2.00, and must have done creditable work in their departmental courses so as to merit the recommendation for the degree by the chair and faculty of their school.
  2. Students, with the approval of their school or specialization, may satisfy the requirements for an undergraduate degree by meeting all of the requirements associated with any one curriculum year in effect during the period of their enrollment in the Institute or during their last two years (prior to their enrollment at Georgia Tech) in the program at one of the RETP schools. A curriculum year is in effect for a student only if the student's date of matriculation is prior to the ending date of the spring term concluding that curriculum year.
  3. Constitution and history examinations
    1. The Georgia law as amended March 4, 1953, requires that before graduation all students pass examinations or pass comparable courses in United States and Georgia history as well as the United States and Georgia constitutions.
    2. For courses that may satisfy the constitution and history requirements, refer to the Information for Undergraduate Students/Academic Regulations section of this catalog.
  4. Regents' Testing Program. All students completing requirements for baccalaureate degrees are required by the University System of Georgia to pass an examination designed to measure proficiency in reading and English composition. This examination is known as the Regents' Test. It must be passed before a petition for graduation will be accepted. Students should obtain further information from the registrar.
  5. Wellness Requirement
    1. Unless medically exempted, all students are required to satisfy the wellness requirement as specified in the Information for Undergraduate Students/Academic Regulations section of this catalog prior to graduation.
    2. The Health Information Record on file with the director of Health Services will be used to determine any medical exemptions from the wellness courses. All certificates of disability from personal physicians must be endorsed by Student Health Services before they will be accepted by the School of Applied Physiology.
