Degree Audits and Schedules

Degree Audit Forms

*Students who started their geology degree prior to Fall 2020 can get the appropriate forms from Dr. Paul Kelso*

Idealized Course Schedules

*Personalized schedules will be developed with your advisors over the course of your degree. Student schedules can vary due to individual interests, transfer credits, and 300/400 level geology classes only being offered in alternate years.*
