Courses must be taken for academic credit with a grade of ‘C’ or better for each course. Students must be in good academic standing. Successful completion of the minor will be certified by a degree audit in Compass. The minor will appear on official transcripts post-graduation. Students wishing to add the Financial Planning minor to their degree plan must fill out a Program Application first.
