The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering is committed to maintaining a good quality of life for its students. We urge students to familiarize themselveswithandtofollowtheGeorgiaTechpoliciesthatarefoundinthecatalogat http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/general/life/,theStudentLifesectionoftheGeorgiaTech catalog.Thereyouwillfindinformationonthefollowingsubjects,amongothers: DiversityIssuesandPrograms StudentOrganizations StudentHealthCenter *EligibilityforTreatment *SpecialHealthConsiderations *Health&AccidentInsurance ParentalNotificationPolicy C.HonorCode Honesty is expected of all students and practitioners of biomedical engineering. The GeorgiaTechAcademicHonorCodewasdevelopedbystudentsandfacultytoremind everyone of the importance of honesty in their professional lives. It also serves to increase awareness on the part of both students and faculty of the rules regarding academic honesty and the process to be followed when these rules are broken. The complete Georgia Tech Academic Honor Code can be found on the web at http://www.honor.gatech.edu/.

ConstitutionandHistoryExaminations Georgia law requires that before receiving an undergraduate degree in this state, all students must demonstrate competence in United States history or constitutional government. You may satisfy this requirement by passing two examinations administeredbytheDepartmentofSocialSciencesorbysuccessfullycompletingHIST 2111,HIST2112,POL1101,PUBP3000orINTA1200. RegentsTest Toobtainanundergraduatedegree,eachstudentintheUniversitySystemofGeorgia must demonstrate proficiency in reading and composition in English by passing the RegentsTest.Studentsareeligibletotakethetestaftertheyhaveearnedtenhoursof course credit. (Any student who has earned 45 credit hours and has yet to pass the Regents Test must schedule remedial English (Engl 0012 and/or 0015) in addition to regularcoursework.)FornonnativespeakersofEnglish,alternativetestsareavailable throughtheDepartmentofModernLanguages. GPARequirement To receivea BSBMEDdegree from GeorgiaTech, you must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 at the time of graduation. Also, the GPA of the BMED coursesontheBSBMEDdegreepetitionmustbeatleast2.0.Forthiscalculation,only thebestgradeearnedineachcourseisincluded. ClassesRequiringaC

AcademicStanding The minimum grade point average for good academic standing is 1.70 for freshmen, 1.80 for sophomores, 1.95 for juniors, and 2.0 for seniors. Any student who has an overall scholastic average below the minimum requirement or whose average for a given semester falls below the minimum requirement will be placed on academic warning and will be limited to a maximum schedule load of sixteen credit hours.
