REMINDERS: Cumulative grade point average must be at least a 2.0; Major grade point average must be at least a 2.0; after completing 93 hours, a student must finish the remaining credits at FSC’; 50% of the designated major and/or minor must be earned at FSC; students may present no more than 42 hours in the major within the 124 hours required for graduation (in other words, a student must complete no less than 82 hours outside of the major). Please note that some majors require more than 124 semester hours and more than a 2.0 grade point average. For details, see requirements listed under specific majors in the catalog.

To be eligible for honors (summa, magna, cum laude) within the graduating class, students must have earned 62 or more hours at FSC. CLEP, AP transfer, transient, and other non-FSC credit does not meet this requirement.
