Policy regarding grades and acceptance of courses taken at another institution:

The Social Sciences Teacher Prep committee has adopted the following policy:

1. Candidates in the single subject preparation program in Social Science may request acceptance of no more than eight lower division courses taken at an institution other than CSUB.
   
2. Only those courses in which the candidate has earned a C- or better will be accepted.
   
3. No more than one course taken in a non-traditional format, e.g. correspondence or on-line courses, from an institution other than CSUB will be accepted.
   
4. Exceptions to this policy will be made only after consideration and approval by the Social Science Academic Petitions Committee. Candidates must present requests for exceptions to the committee by the date announced. The committee will meet early each term.

Reminders:

Students must select one course in category 11, Cultural/Ethnic Perspectives or in category 12, Gender Perspectives from the Behavioral Sciences [Anthropology, Psychology, or Sociology]. Because History majors normally take a History course to satisfy category 11, they must take Anth 438, Psych 421, or Soc 365 to satisfy category 12.

InSt 390, The Educator as Social Scientist is scheduled for the spring quarter. The class will meet Tuesday evenings from 8:10-10:15 pm. This is the only time it will be offered this academic year.

Students who plan to apply for admission to a credential program in either the winter or the spring term should make an appointment to see me. We will review your file and determine if all Social Science requirements have been met, including required coursework and grade point average. You can reach me at 664-2247. My office is in Faculty Towers 301-E.
