Minimum Grade Requirements in GE Courses

Students must earn acceptable grades in courses taken to fulfill GE requirements. Students must earn at least the University-wide standard minimum grade in each GE course or, if applicable, the higher grade in the course that may be required by their particular majors.

• The standard minimum required grade in College Composition is “C”; however, some majors require a grade higher than “C”.
• The standard minimum required grade in Transition to Kean and Transfer Transitions is “D”.
• The standard minimum required grade in Speech Communication as Critical Citizenship, Research and Technology, and GE Academic Foundations Math courses is “D”; however, some majors require grades higher than “D”.
• The standard minimum required grade in Disciplinary/Interdisciplinary Distribution courses is “D”; however, some majors that require completion of specific Disciplinary/Interdisciplinary Distribution courses may require grades higher than “D” in these courses.
• The standard minimum required grade in Capstone courses is “C”; however, some majors require grades higher than “C”. 

Note: No course taken to fulfill a GE requirement may be taken on a pass/fail basis.
