Chemistry
In the General Chemistry courses (Chemistry21/21L1/21L2 and Chemistry 22/22L1/22L2) having both lecture and laboratory components that must be taken concurrently, a minimum grade of C is required in all the corequisite-linked courses in order to meet course and program requirements. If satisfactory grades (A, B, or C) are earned in all of the components, the appropriate grade will be issued for each course. If an unsatisfactory grade (D or F) is earned in any of the linked courses, the lowest substandard grade will be issued for all three courses. If an incomplete (I) is earned in any of the linked courses, the incomplete will be issued for all three courses.
