In order to reach the status of a fully Admitted Major, you must:
- pass Comm 102 or 103 with a grade of "C" or better
- pass College Composition Courses (English 110/120 or English 110/125) with a grade of "B" or better

- complete an approved personal Plan of Study with your assigned faculty advisor
You are classified as Pre-Communication major until you have completed these requirements. Additional information about the separate application process to the UND Undergraduate Communication Program is available from your faculty advisor.
Upon obtaining Admitted Major status, you are eligible to take upper-level Communication classes as well as to apply for scholarships through the UND Undergraduate Communication Program.
