DIRECTED ELECTIVES (0 credits) To ensure that Conservation Biology undergraduates obtain both strength and breadth of knowledge, 0 elective credit hours must be distributed in a way that satisfies seven requirements (A-F, below). A. Field Experience Elective At least three elective credits must come from an approved field course in biology, either at Cranberry Lake Biological Station or another approved field site. B. Organismal Diversity (at least one course from of the following 4 subject areas) To encourage breadth in organism-level biology, students must complete at least one course from three of the following four subject areas (a course from each group is strongly recommended). The availability of courses that satisfy this requirementvaries; consult with your advisor about current possibilities. 1.

S Page 6 HOW TO READ THIS PLAN SHEET Student must match "required courses" with "earned courses" in order to satisfy curriculum requirements. Required courses are derived from the SUNY- ESF Course Catalog for the appropriate year. Earned courses may be a combination of ESF courses and transfer courses, including advanced placement credit. The requirements are split between lower and upper division, and the "summaries" display the total credit hours required, earned, and deficient in each division. "ID" refers to the Course ID, which may be an official College course ID or an abbreviation for a transfer course or course requirement. Transfer courses will refer to the number of a transfer college identified at the top of the plan sheet. Courses taken at ESF will display the semester taken and the grade received. "Semester" - term and year in which course was taken: FA - term SP - term SU - Summer term "Type" of Course IP - course in progress Memo - credit added via memo Petn - credit added via petition This report has been prepared to assist you in determining your academic progress at ESF. If this report does not appear to be accurate, contact your academic advisor and bring this report with you. Please be advised: final confirmation that you have met all degree requirements is subject to approval by your Faculty Chair and the Registrar.
