PROGRAM ADMISSION CRITERIA:

• 2.0 GPA for Community Nutrition and Food Science/Food Service Administration Emphases.
• See below for admission criteria for the Dietetics Emphasis.

PROGRAM PROGRESSION REQUIREMENTS:

• Students must earn a minimum grade of "C" in all courses in Area F and within the major including non-major requirements.
• Students must also earn a minimum grade of "C" in a prerequisite course prior to registering for an advanced course.
• See below for additional program progression requirements for the Dietetics Emphasis.

Note: Nutrition and food science students who transfer courses in with less than a "C" grade may be required to repeat those courses to meet pre-requisite and major requirements.

Initially accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD), Commission on Accreditation for Dietetic Education (CADE), American Dietetic Association, 120 S. Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606-6995. Phone: (800) 877-1600. Web: http://www.eatright.org.

*The following courses are required of all students majoring in Nutrition and Food Science with a Dietetic Emphasis. These courses include: KINS 2531/2511 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I (4), KINS 2532/2512 - Human Anatomy and Physiology II (4), SOCI 1101 - Introduction to Sociology (3) OR ANTH 1102 - Introduction to Anthropology (3), PSYC 1101 - Introduction to Psychology (3), STAT 2231 - Introduction to Statistics (3), CISM 1110 - Computer Applications (1) and CISM 1120 - Computer Concepts (2). Any of these courses not taken in the Core or in Area F should be taken in the Non-Major Requirements area. Any available hours beyond these may be taken as Free Electives.

• Students transferring in from an American Dietetic Association-accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics from another school are required to have their transcript(s) evaluated by the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) Director who is responsible for determining which dietetics courses remain to be taken and which dietetics courses receive transfer credit. Adequate time must be allowed for scheduling, review and notification. Students from other institutions are bound by admission and progression requirements of the Dietetics program at Georgia Southern University.

Application Process for Admission to the Dietetics Emphasis (Didactic Program in Dietetics):

Admission to the program is made for the Fall semester. The following completed Admission Package must be turned in to the DPD Director in order for the candidate to be considered:

1. Official Application
2. Letter of Intent
3. Verification of grades with official transcripts of all schools attended including this university (WINGS accepted); mid-term verification of grades for all required courses in process (Students in the process of taking any of the prerequisite courses for the emphasis will be required to submit a mid-term grade from the professor. Final acceptance into the program is contingent upon the final grade received in the courses.)

Application deadline: February 15th (If this date falls on a weekend or holiday then the application is due on the next working day.)

**MEETING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF ACCEPTANCE INTO THE PROGRAM.

Program Progression Requirements:

1. Students must earn a minimum grade of "C" in all courses within the major requirements including remaining Area F courses.
2. Students must maintain a 2.8 total institution overall GPA. An admitted student whose total institution GPA falls below 2.8 will be on probation for one semester. If the student's GPA remains below 2.8 after the probation semester, the student will be dropped from the program. The student may be re-admitted to the program only by the application process outlined above.
3. Students must complete the courses in sequence and complete all prerequisites. If a course is dropped or failed, then the student will be out of sequence and graduation will be delayed. These students may have to reapply to the dietetics emphasis depending on circumstances, availability of space, and time elapsed between classes.
4. Majors that drop from the program due to personal reasons and wish to reapply at a later date must have courses and skills reevaluated to determine eligibility for the current curriculum and program.

Note: Students transferring into the Nutrition and Food Science: Dietetics Emphasis from other majors or NTFS emphases may not be able to graduate necessarily within the traditional four-year period. In addition, students who transfer in with less than a "C" grade will be required to repeat those courses to meet pre-requisite and major requirements.
