From:
Dr. Deb Connolly, Associate Chair, Undergraduate Studies, Psychology
Re:
Calendar Changes for 2011/2012
At its meeting of September 9 and October 14, 2010, the Department of Psychology
approved Calendar changes to remove the requirement of "a grade of C or better"
in
two courses, PSYC 100 and 102, for all psychology plans.
Unfortunately,
in
our calendar edits, we reflected the changes to the admission
requirements
but not to the Lower Division requirements. The admission requirement
changes
will
be reflected
in
the calendar effective January, 2012. Attached are the
requested calendar changes to the Lower Division requirements. To ensure
that
graduation and admission requirements are consistent, we request that these calendar
changes be effective January,
2012.
Dr. Deborah Connolly
