Undergraduate DePaul University Requirements

A student will complete the degree requirements in place at the time of first enrollment as a degree-seeking student.

College/School Requirements

A student will complete the college/school requirements in place at the time of first enrollment in the College as a degree-seeking student. A student who changes college/school while their studies are in progress will complete the destination college/school requirements in place at the time of the inter-college transfer, with discretion for the destination college office advisor to determine Liberal Studies/University Honors Program requirements left to complete.

A student who completes an inter-college transfer during a break between terms will follow the requirements in place for the term immediately following the break.

Major/Minor/Certificate Requirements

A student will complete the major/minor/certificate (or corresponding "intended" or "pre" major/minor) requirements in place at the time of declaration. A student who changes majors/minors/certificates while their studies are in progress will complete the requirements in place at the time they declare the new major/minor/certificate (or corresponding "intended" or "pre" major/minor). Specific Liberal Studies or University Honors course requirements are determined by the student’s primary academic major.

A student who changes major/minor/certificate during a break between terms will follow the requirements in place for the term immediately following the break.

In majors/minors/certificates with concentrations/tracks/specializations, the student’s major/minor/certificate and concentration/track/specialization requirements will be determined by the term the student declares the concentration/track/specialization. Students should be aware that declaring or changing a concentration may change their degree requirements for the full major/minor/certificate.

Readmission

 A student who applies for readmission will be subject to all degree requirements in place in the enrollment term of readmission.

DePaul Admission Partnership Program

The initial term of official participation in the DePaul Admission Partnership Program (DAPP) will determine the student’s degree requirements. Once in the DePaul Admission Partnership Program, students who change college/school and/or major/minor follow the DePaul requirement policy guidelines detailed above.

Students must transfer and enroll at DePaul within three years of initial participation to lock in these degree requirements. Students who do not transfer within this time period will follow the degree requirements in place at the time they enroll at DePaul.

Dual Admission

Program requirements for dual admission students will be those in place at the time of the student's first enrollment in the dual admission program at the partner institution.

Other Information

A student currently enrolled in a degree program in which revisions are approved while their studies are in progress may elect to formally adopt the revised requirements.
