Incoming student applicants for all the majors within the Biophysical Chemistry and Mathematics Department will be required to have a 2.0 high school grade point average (GPA) and an ACT score of 19, or the consent of the program director. Incoming freshmen who do not meet the requirements for admission into the Biophysical Chemistry and Mathematics Department will have one academic year to meet the admission requirements. This approach will allow academically talented students who begin college without the proper academic background to demonstrate their potential and retain eligibility in the department. Transfer students wishing to enter a Biophysical Chemistry Department shall maintain a 2.5 GPA in their science major classes and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.

All students within the Biophysical Chemistry and Mathematics Department must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 in their science major courses and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. If a student’s GPA drops below the required minimum GPA, he or she will have a one-semester probation period to increase their GPA. During this probationary period, the student must meet with the advising office, an assigned mentor, and the Student Success Center for additional support to get back on track. Students who are not successful in raising their GPA within a onesemester period will lose their eligibility to graduate with a degree in Biomedical Science.
