in modern languages should schedule courses on the
basis of placement test scores and previous training.
Program Directors of curricula requiring a practicum
(field education, internship) make reasonable efforts
to assist a student in securing a placement. However,
the student, not the University, is ultimately responsible
for obtaining such a placement under the direction of
the University. A student unable to obtain an acceptable
placement or to complete a practicum successfully shall
not be awarded the degree and is advised to change to
a curriculum in which he will be able to complete degree
requirements.
UNDECLARED/INTERIM OPTION
This is a convenient temporary option for:
1. Entering students who have not declared majors,
but who plan later to change to degree-granting
curricula. During their crucial early semesters,
these students should select from the CORE
curriculum.
2. Students who do not presently meet the
requirements for admission to the professional
program of their choice.
3. High school students who participate in the
Collegiate Program or the Concurrent Admissions
Program for high school students and have not
declared a major.
4. Students who do not wish to pursue a degree, but
who wish to take more than six hours a semester.
NOTE: Students enrolled in the Undeclared/Interim
Option are urged to decide upon and/or qualify for a
degree-granting program at the earliest opportunity.
Students receiving veterans’ benefits are subject to
additional regulations. (See section on Veterans Affairs.)
Students involved in intercollegiate athletics are subject to
additional restrictions and are advised to consult with their
counselors regarding these rules.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE
UNDECLARED/INTERIM OPTION
The Undeclared/Interim Option is administered by the
Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
All transfer students and all students who interrupt
their college work for one calendar year or more
or who change their curriculum must meet the above
requirements for formal admission to degree status.
Students must be admitted at least one semester (or
summer term) prior to the semester in which they intend to
receive their degree.
While temporarily enrolled in this special non-degree
classification until they select and/or qualify for admission
to a major, students will be assigned to a special advisor.

its own right, the Biology major can be used to fulfill
requirements for admission to medical, dental, veterinary,
optometry or pharmacy schools, for wildlife biology
certification by The Wildlife Society (see page 172).
Students interested in pre-medicine or pre-dentistry
should see page 27 of this catalog.
