Department: Office of the Registrar
Contact: reginfo@isu.edu
An ISU student who wishes to complete additional majors or minors after receiving a baccalaureate degree at ISU may be admitted as a special graduate and must meet the major or minor requirements as determined by the program. Limitations include:
- the additional coursework must be completed within the five years of the first bachelor’s degree;
- a maximum of nine credits may be transferred from other accredited colleges or universities, as approved by the program; and
- a maximum of sixteen (16) credits will be allowed under this policy.
A student who needs more than sixteen credits for the major or minor should proceed to earn the second degree (32 credits minimum). After acceptance by the appropriate department, school or college and verification of completion, the student’s permanent academic record will be updated accordingly. No additional diploma or certificate will be awarded. Requests for the posting of such majors and minors must be made to the graduation staff in the Office of Registration and Records by the posted graduation application deadline for the relevant term. Students should consult with a program advisor or department chair for any program restrictions to this policy.
