| | Senate approves new rules for coterminal applicants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | The new policy, which takes effect immediately, is more streamlined than its predecessor and also eliminates rules that penalized applicants who had earned more than 11 quarters' worth of units, according to the Committee on Graduate Studies. |
 | | Under the revised criteria, students who wish to be considered for coterminal programs must complete a minimum of 120 units, which may include advanced placement and transfer credit, and submit their applications no later than the quarter prior to earning their bachelor's degrees. |
 | | Changes to the coterminal application process do not affect academic requirements established by each department, nor do they affect departments' freedom to accept or reject applicants based on their academic credentials, according to the committee. |
