Minors who desire to transfer credit from other colleges or universities must have their transcripts evaluated as soon as possible by a psychology adviser so that any credits earned may be noted in their files. Students transferring from community colleges must complete at least 12 semester hours of 300- and 400-level psychology courses at SIUE (or other accredited four-year institutions and SIUE combined) toward the minor. Students transferring from accredited four-year institutions must complete at least six semester hours of psychology courses at SIUE toward the minor. At least six hours of psychology courses must be at the 400 level for the minor in psychology.
Except for incoming freshmen, to be admitted to the psychology program as a minor, students must have at least a 2.25 grade point average overall at the University. Students who fail to maintain at least a 2.25 grade point average at the University will not be allowed to take additional psychology courses until the grade point requirement is met. Students remaining below a 2.25 grade point average for two consecutive terms will be dropped from the psychology program. A grade of C or better is required for a psychology course to count toward the major requirements. In addition, a student will be dropped from the psychology program after two unsuccessful attempts to complete a single psychology course counting toward the major requirements. Unsuccessful attempts are defined as receiving the grades of W, WF, WP, WR, UW, U, D, or F in a class.
