NOTE: University Regulations, Part 2, Sec IV, subpart B, section 2 require that all students must complete 32 hours of 300 level or higher courses at Purdue for graduation. Responsibility for completing graduation requirements is solely that of the student.

NOTE: Students in the Medical Laboratory Sciences 3+1 program must obtain a minimum science index of a 2.50/4.00 and an accumulative index of 2.75/4.00 at the end of the spring semester prior to applying to the clinical year the subsequent fall semester (typically at the end of the sophomore year). Students not qualifying must elect to choose one of the other HLS programs and, if having met the grade stipulations at a later date, may still apply for the clinical year.

NOTE: Clinical students graduate in August!
