Effective in the 2006-2007 UNC Catalog, the Economics Program has made the following changes or clarifications:

Students must have senior status and achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.5 in all courses required for the major, or consent of the instructor, before they will be allowed to register for the economics capstone courses, Econ 452 and Econ 475.

All students must achieve an overall cumulative GPA of 2.25 in order to be admitted to the economics major. First-semester freshmen and transfer students will be admitted on a probational basis and must achieve an overall cumulative GPA of 2.25 after their first semester at UNC in order to continue in the major.

Economics majors must retake for a "C" or higher any course required for the major in which they earn a "D" or below.
