                          1. A GPA of 2.0 or better is the necessary average of all courses used to satisfy the requirements of a chemistry major. A grade of C- or better is necessary for a chemistry course to satisfy the requirements of a chemistry major. Among courses used for the chemistry degree, no more than two with a grade of P may be included. However, CHEM 221, 231, 341, 351/361 are foundation courses that cannot be taken as Pass/Fail. No more than 12 credits of CHEM 397 and 497/498 may be used to satisfy the major, and no more than four credits of CHEM 397 may be used to satisfy the major.

                          3. Residency Requirement: Students must take CHEM 496 and at least seven other chemistry courses in the major, including at least five upper-level chemistry courses (numbered 300+), while in residence at Binghamton University.
