Academic Progress
Students enrolled in the BSCLS Degree Advancement Option are expected to make satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of their Individual Plan of Study and degree requirements. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better and a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) must be maintained throughout enrollment in the program. Courses may be repeated only once, and a cumulative GPA below 2.0 at the completion of any semester will result in dismissal from the program.
Degree Completion
Upon completion of the Individual Plan of Study, students will receive notification of completion from the BSCLS Degree Advancement Option. Diploma and graduation information will be provided by the UNMC Student Services Office. Students must be awarded a minimum of 125 total semester hours of college credit (UNMC courses + transfer credit) by the UNMC Office of Academic Records in order to be eligible to graduate from UNMC.
You may obtain your UNMC transcripts only after the diploma date. If an individual leaves the program prior to completion, their coursework will not be processed through the Office of Academic Records.
