“Before You GRADUATE!”

Note*: Not all NS core courses posted on the Core Curriculum site may be taken by Math majors. These are the NS core courses that you must choose from.

Graduation Application Deadlines can be found at this address:

When applying, be sure to indicate the correct Degree Objective for your major on the application. If you check your account and notice that this information is incorrect, quickly complete a general petition form requesting the correct information. Submit this at 120 Old Sci.

Cumulative & Math GPA Requirements (major & minor): Minimum GPA is 2.0 both in cumulative and major grade point averages. The minimum GPA for a Minor in Math is also 2.0.

The “C-” Rule: Only 6 hours of Math courses are allowed below a C-. If you have more than 6 hours, of Math, below a C-, you must retake one or more of those math courses, until only 6 hours below a C- remain.

General Petitions: If you have any petitions approved outside of the college (NSM), be sure to submit a copy of these petitions to your advisor in the UAC, before filing for graduation. If you wait and submit your petitions after the “initial/final audits” are processed, they may be disapproved, depending on the reason for the petitions.

Reasons for requesting a general petition:

a.) Change admission status

b.) Change of classification (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior)

c.) Request course overload

d.) Change of degree objective

e.) Degree requirement exception

f.) Change of major

g.) Request a special problems course

h.) Request a course

Degree Plans: Major/Minor: You must have an APPROVED degree plan on file in order to graduate. We suggest that you request this degree plan at the end of your sophomore year, or at the beginning of your junior year. This will give you ample time to become familiar with all of your requirements and help you plan your graduation date. To request a degree plan, you may either see the departments for the proper form or view the ”General Degree Specifications” page on the Undergraduate Math Site. Minor degree plans should also be submitted to the department of your major before you file for graduation.

NSM Capstone Requirement: Be sure that you have fulfilled one of the following requirements for your capstone. One of these options should be indicated on your major degree plan:

1.) Minor in any subject

2.) Senior Research Project: Math 3396 & 4396 or Math 3396 & 4389

3.) Honors Thesis: Math 3399 & 4399

4.) Teaching Certification (TeachHouston)

5.) Double Major

6.) Double Degree

*Be sure to contact the Math dept. or your UAC Math Advisor if you have questions about these options.
