COMPLETED DEGREES Once a Bachelor's degree has been awarded, a student cannot change or improve factors related to that award. Therefore, courses cannot be repeated to alter the GPA of that degree; nor can courses, majors, or minors be added after a degree has been awarded in order to alter it. If students elect to continue their education after having been awarded a Bachelor's degree, they may apply for a Second Bachelor's degree or a Master's degree. GPA calculations begin again with the new degree. Once an Associate degree has been completed the degree title and program name cannot be altered. The grades earned toward the Associate degree will also be applied toward a Bachelor degree grade point average (GPA). Therefore, courses which were taken as part of the Associate degree can be repeated to improve the Bachelor degree GPA. However, academic renewal cannot be applied to the Associate degree courses, as that process could significantly alter the degree. SECOND BACCALAUREATE DEGREE A student may qualify for admission to a second baccalaureate degree following the completion of a first baccalaureate degree at an accredited institution. Admission to a second baccalaureate degree program must be approved by the Graduation Committee prior to registration for this program. Application forms for a second baccalaureate Registration General Information 28 degree may be obtained in person or by mail from the Graduation Office. To qualify for the second degree, the student must complete a full year in residence and a minimum of 45 credit hours with a GPA of at least 2.00, in addition to whatever requirements may have been completed for the first baccalaureate degree. Military credit, special examination, and committee awarded credit does not qualify for resident hours. Students whose first baccalaureate degree did not include a course which satisfies the Utah State Senate Bill requirement must satisfy that requirement in their second baccalaureate degree program.

The numeric figure in parenthesis, e.g. (3), indicates the number of quarter hours of credit given for the course. Audit Course Registration Students registering to audit a class are considered as regular students in determining part-time or full-time registration and are charged regular tuition and fees. Because of space and facility limitations, some classes may not be open to audit students. Students who plan to audit a class may select that option via Touch-Tell registration, but final approval for audit attendance is the prerogative of the instructor. Courses may be changed to audit through the 6th week or 60% of the quarter. Participation in class activities by an audit student may be limited at the discretion of the instructor. Students auditing courses will be expected to attend class on a regular basis. Audit students failing to attend class may be issued a "W" at the discretion of the instructor. Changes in Registration Students should carefully plan their schedules with their advisor so that any required changes are minimal. Students may make changes at specified times (designated in quarterly schedules) after their initial registration. During the first week of school, students may add and drop classes without instructor approval; during the second week of school, students may drop classes at their own discretion, but must obtain instructor approval to add classes. Classes may be dropped during the third week, but may not be added. For classes dropped after the third week, see "Withdrawal." Classification of Students Students with 44 credit hours or less at the beginning of the quarter are classified as Freshmen; those with 45-89 credit hours are classified as Sophomores; those with 90 to 134 as Juniors; and those with 135 and over as Seniors. Students with a baccalaureate degree are classified as Graduates. Credit/No Credit Registration Students may register for classes on a Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) basis according to the following criteria: a) Freshmen students may register for only one CR/NC class each quarter; b) Students who have completed 44 hours of college credit and who are not on academic warning or probation may register for a maximum of two classes for CR/NC each quarter. Students should declare their intent to register for CR/NC coursework at the time of their original registration but will be permitted to make a change within the first six weeks (or 60%) of the quarter. A maximum of 30 hours of CR/NC courses may be applied toward graduation. Students who stop attending a class for which they are registered CR/NC without properly withdrawing, will be subject to a UW (Unofficial Withdrawal) grade which is counted as an "E" when grades are computed.
