Graduation & Honors
To graduate with an Economics degree, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
a) The student must spend at least seven regular semesters studying[1], and obtain an overall cumulative GPA (all subjects combined) of at least 2.00.
b) Students must earn grades of C or above in EE311 OR EE312. (If grades for both courses are below C, students must select either to be regraded.)
c) Students must earn a cumulative GPA (for all economics courses in the major study block area) of at least 2.00.[2]
d) Course enrollments must conform with prerequisites and sequences.
[1] Students enrolled at the university for at least six regular semesters, who have been exempted from taking some courses or been able to transfer credits, may be specially considered for graduation by the university chancellor.
[2] Computed from all economics courses according to course structure specified in cluster-specific courses and excluding economic courses recorded as free electives. For EE311 and EE312, if students take the courses more than once (because of the regrading), the highest grade will be used in calculation.

[1] Regrading is a request made to a program when a student needs to retake or repeat a previously completed course with a passing letter grade. This is usually the case when your course grade falls below a certain threshold. For example, according to the B.E. curriculum, you must obtain at least a C in one of the following two subjects: EE311 or EE312. If your first attempt at the two courses results in a grade of less than C in both subjects, you must submit a regrading request to the B.E. office. However, retaking the course due to a failing grade or having previously withdrawn from the subject is not considered regrading.
