Undecided HRD Status
Students are placed in this status when they request admission to the HRD major but, their overall GPA is below a 2.0. Formal admission to the program is not secured until a student reaches pre-HRD status.

Pre-HRD Status
Students are placed into this status when they first enter the HRD program and their overall GPA is a 2.0 or above. At the request of the student, an appointment with the HRD adviser will be arranged to facilitate the formation and adoption of a program plan.  Students are allowed to take courses in General Education, General Electives, HRD Core, and 8 credits of HRD major courses in this status.
