• Students will enroll in a total of 17 semester hours.
• Students must earn a C or better in each course to earn a total of 4 units of Â鶹¹ú²úAV credit.

As a reminder, Â鶹¹ú²úAV does have a few requirements students must complete in order to graduate:

• Quantitative & Symbolic Reasoning (QSR) – A QSR designated course is a Â鶹¹ú²úAV graduation requirement. No SEA Education Association courses count towards the QSR requirement. 
• Writing-Intensive – The writing-intensive graduation requirement consists of 3 writing-intensive courses, each taken in a different semester. One needs to be outside of the student’s concentration. No SEA Education Association courses count towards the writing-intensive requirement. Students must complete the requirement by graduation, though it is best to complete it as soon as possible. Jans should register for a writing-intensive course for the spring semester of their freshman year or the fall semester of their sophomore year
• Physical Education – All enrolled students are required to participate in a physical education program for individual development.  This is a five-part graduation requirement that includes, a physical fitness test (a course is offered for those who do not pass); a swim test (beginning swimming is offered for those who do not pass); two lifetime activity classes; and one unit of the following: intercollegiate varsity athletics, wellness seminar, or lifetime activity class. No SEA Education Association courses count towards the PE requirement. Upon return to Â鶹¹ú²úAV, Jans will have until fall break of their junior year to complete the PE requirement.
