No form or signature is necessary to begin, and no advisor has to be assigned; however, we would like to know of your intention once you decide to do a minor. For further information and advisement for the minor, come to the Earth Sciences Department Office, Sci. I, room 209.

NOTE: College rules pertaining to curriculum majors also apply to curriculum minors (overall GP A of at least 2.00 maintained in minor; no Pass/Fail Option grading in courses applied toward minor; residence requirement; etc.)
