General Education Waiver Policy and Guidance:
• Students who complete a VCCS transfer associate degree (AS, AA, or AFA) will receive a waiver of the Foundation and Exploration (lower division) Mason Core general education categories, which can be found here: https://catalog.gmu.edu/mason-core/ . To be eligible for the waiver, the students must provide the George Mason Office of Admissions with a final, official transcript reflecting the degree conferral date. As a prerequisite for ENGH 302, ENGH 101 is not waived. Students must complete ENGH 100 or ENGH 101, or an equivalent, with a C or higher.
• When a course fulfills a Mason Core requirement and a major or college requirement (e.g. Major & Quant), students must complete the course listed on the pathway to fulfill the major/college requirement. Courses that fulfill only Mason Core Foundation and Exploration categories are recommendations. In most pathways, ADVANCE students must complete a Quantitative Reasoning course to matriculate through ADVANCE.
•ADVANCE students must complete the associate degree indicated on their pathway (see the ADVANCE Program Milestones listed above). Students who withdraw from ADVANCE and transfer without the associate degree or UCGS are required to complete each Mason Core general education category.

Additional General Notes & Resources:
• Kinesiology Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 each semester and to receive a grade of C or better in all Professional Sequence courses as well as STAT 250 Introductory Statistics I (Mason Core) or EDRS 220 Introduction to Applied Quantitative Analysis (Mason Core) . Failure to do so will result in probation or termination from the Kinesiology program.
• Students in the Allied Health Sciences and Strength and Conditioning concentrations must maintain at least a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and earn a C or better in their Professional Sequence and concentration coursework. Failure to do so will result in termination from the concentration.
• All students completing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology degree are required to complete 3-credit practicum during their junior year and a 6-to 9-credit capstone internship during their graduating semester. Students must have earned 90 credit hours and met the specific prerequisites to be eligible for the internship (KINE 490 Kinesiology Internship).
• For academic policies and procedures, please see the George Mason catalog - https://catalog.gmu.edu/policies/
• Students seeking a bachelor's degree must apply at least 45 credits of upper-level courses (numbered 300 or above) toward graduation.
