GEOG EXCEPTIONS

Reference Table for GEOGRAPHY: DATA SCIENCE

To allow courses with grades below your minimum

The following table gives instructions for RU exceptions, which can be created either in EARS or from the 370 screen of the SDB. However, if you want DARS to accept a course with a grade below the minimum for a given requirement, use an RR exception, available only from the 370 screen.

HONORS

The honors requirement appears in audits of all students--but it doesn't have to be satisfied.
To make it a "required requirement" for those admitted to Geography honors, create a "Waive required courses" exception in EARS (RU on the SDB).

PSNAME: GEOG-HONORS
Reduce number of courses required (REQCT): - 1 (You're not really waiving any courses with this.)
