Information Concerning General Studies Requirements
(For students who entered college prior to Fall 1996)

ENG 101-102 (ENGL 1101 -1102)

All students must satisfy ENG 101 (ENGL 1101) with a C grade or better and ENG 101/102 with a C average. Transfer students whose freshman English did not transfer as equivalent to UGA's ENG 101/102 (ENGL 1101/1102)should contact Dr. Christy Desmet, Director of Freshman English, Room 128 Park Hall. Students with credit for ENG 102 (ENGL 1102_, but lacking ENG 101 (ENGL 1101) credit should take the English Placement test for possible exemption. Transfer students whotransfer in credit for a three quarter hour ENG composition course designated as ENG A should also see Dr. Desmet who will determine whether it satisfies ENG 101 or 102 (ENGL 1101 or 1102). 

CS A, etc.

Computer Science will not allow admissions-evaluated transfer CS (CSCI) courses above the introductory level. The student should be sent to the CS department to request transfer credit evaluation. Students should submit a syllabus, final exam (or programs), and the textbook title/author to the department for evaluation. Students should not be advised for a CS course until the evaluation letter is in the folder. 

MAT X 

MAT X is the equivalent of UGA's MAT 102 taken at another institution prior to Fall '88. The course title is "College Algebra." NOTE: MAT X and MAT 102 are duplicate courses; credit may not be received for both. 

MAT Z 

MAT denotes any other college math course for which UGA does not have an equivalent, but which has a transferable algebra course as its prerequisite. MAT Z may be used toward satisfaction of the basic math requirement for the AB degree. MAT Z waives MAT 102. 

MAT 100 

MAT 100 - UGA's algebra before Fall 1988. MAT 100 satisfied the College Algebra requirement before MAT 102 was offered. If transferred in, the equivalent of MAT 100, taken Fall 1988 and after, will be a MAT "write-in" (MAT A, for example) with a title. NOTE: Credit for both MAT 100 and 102 is allowed. 

MAT A 

MAT A is an elective unless otherwise approved by Dr. Malcolm Adams in the Math department. 

MAT 105 and MAT 106 

As of Fall '94 MAT 105 and MAT 106 are independent courses. MAT 102 is prerequisite for both; MAT 105 is no longer prerequisite to 106. MAT 105: Applications of mathematics to management and decision making. MAT 106: Applications of number theory and geometry. Under the semester course numbering, these two classes have been combined into MATH 1060.

MAT Waivers 

Completion of MAT 253 (MATH 2200) satisfies the basic math requirement for the AB or BS degree. It waives MAT 102 and 116 (MATH 1113) without credit. Completion of any MAT course that has a prerequisite of MAT 102 will waive MAT 102. NOTE: Effective Fall '93, MAT 102 is no longer required for either AB or BS degree, but needs to be taken or exempted if it is prerequisite to a higher level course in the student's degree program. The Math department will flag students who do not have the proper prerequisites for math classes and discuss this with the student. 

Literature

Only the numbered courses listed on the checksheets may be used to satisfy degree requirements unless approved by the department in which the course is taught. For approval the student should see the following departmental advisor/department head: ENGL - Dr. Rosemary Franklin, CLAS - Dr. Sally Spence, CMLT - Dr. Betty Jean Craige 

Foreign Language 

Completion of a course that has a prerequisite waives that prerequisite course. Example: completion of SP 102 (SPAN 1002) waives 101 (1001). By extension, completion of SP 301 (SPAN 3010) waives 101, 102, 103, 201, and 202 (1001, 1002, 2001, 2002) . If the degree requirement for Foreign Language is satisfied by a waiver of 101-201 (1001 - 2002)(AB degree) or 101-103 (1001 - 2001) (BS degree), all of the waived hours must be made up in general electives to total 182 (121) hours required for graduation. 

History

Only courses with designated numbers, or HIS Z, may be used unless approved by a departmental representative. Students wishing to use 400 (4000) level History for the core also need departmental approval. 

HIS A 

May be used for the core History requirement if departmentally approved. It may be used as a BS core Social Science without prior approval. 

HIS Z 

HIS Z may be used in the HIS area; however, if HIS Z is on the record, credit cannot be received for either HIS 251 or 252 (HIST 2111 OR 2112) 

HIS 112 

Although no longer offered at UGA, HIS 112 still transfers in. HIS 121/122 (HIST , covering the same time period, have replaced 112. A student with 112 on record may not receive credit for either HIS 121 or 122. 

Social Sciences

Any Social Science course may be used with any assigned course number or letter. See checksheet. 

Fine Arts

Any Fine Arts course may be used for the BS degree. Only designated courses may be used for the AB degree without specific approval. For courses transferred in as FA, request approval from Mrs. Michelle Garfield Cook.   For ART, DRA, or MUS courses with letter designations, (ex., ART A, DRA A, MUS A) refer to the appropriate department for approval. ART: Mr. Rick Johnson, 114 Visual Arts; DRAM: Dr.Farley Richmond, Fine Arts Building; MUS: Dr. John Culvahouse, School of Music
