A minor is defined
as a coherent course of study which stands alone from a major and
provides a student with broad knowledge of and competency in an area
outside the student's major. A minor may not be taken in the same
major as the student's degree program (e.g., a student majoring in
history may not complete a minor in history, whereas a student majoring
in crop science may complete a minor in plant protection). |

A minor consists
of 24 to 30 units with at least half of the units from 300-400 level
courses and at least half of the units must be taken at Cal Poly. |

Not more than
one-third of the courses in a minor can be graded Credit/No Credit
(CR/NC), except for courses which have mandatory CR/NC grading. |

A minimum 2.0
GPA is required in all units counted for completion of the minor (foreign
language minors must have a 2.75 GPA). |

The minor will
be completed along with the requirements for the bachelor's degree.
Courses in the minor may be used to satisfy major and general education
requirements. |
| 6. |
Students who
wish to complete a minor are to contact the department offering the
academic minor as early as possible in the program and fill out the
appropriate agreement form. The minor is declared when the student
requests a graduation evaluation in the Evaluations Office. |

The completion
of the minor will be noted on the student's transcript but will not
be shown on the diploma. In no case will a diploma be awarded for
the minor. . |
