RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS

A minimum of 36 semester hours of course credits must be taken in residence at Francis Marion University within five calendar years preceding the date the degree is granted. No more than nine of the final 36 hours required for the degree can be taken at another institution or earned through correspondence. Both the institution and courses taken elsewhere must be approved by the Registrar. Each student graduating from Francis Marion University is required to complete successfully in residence at Francis Marion University a minimum of three courses above 299 in the student's major. (School of Business students should see residence requirements for the Bachelor of Business Administration program.)

Credits earned during the Francis Marion University Summer Session are counted on the same basis as credits earned during fall and spring semesters in meeting residence requirements.
