PART 2: THE CHECKSHEET, 2.2
2.2 Credit Hours/GPA Requirements
2.2.1 Total Number of Credit Hours—192
Most students need to complete a minimum of 192 credit hours to graduate. For a few students, the checksheet will indicate that more than 192 credit hours are needed. There should be a notation indicating why the total was increased. The most common reasons include the following:
-
Student has taken developmental or study skills courses (numbered below 100)
-
Student has taken more than 8 hours of HPR skills courses
-
Student has taken the same course twice at Wright State or elsewhere
-
Student has taken more than 68 hours in the major
-
Transfer student needs additional 300/400 level courses to meet the 60-hour requirement
-
Transfer student or student who has changed majors needs additional hours to fulfill the requirements of the major.
2.2.2 Credit Hours Taken at Wright State
This residency requirement usually creates a problem only for students transferring more than 145 credit hours to Wright State. Remember that 15 of the last 45 credit hours and at least 30 credit hours of the 300/400 level courses must be taken at Wright State.
2.2.3 Upper-level Credit Hours Taken—60
This requirement can be fulfilled with 300/400 level courses from anywhere in the university. Students should, however, be reminded to check course prerequisites. Most students will have to take some electives at the upper level. This requirement must be checked carefully when you are advising seniors. Graduation is delayed for several students every quarter because they have not met this requirement. Transfer students can count no more than 30 hours of upper-level credit from other institutions; the other 30 hours must be completed at Wright State.
