5. Minor GPA, Hours, and Minimum Grade Requirements.
   1. At least 9 credit hours in the minor must be completed in courses taken through the Indiana University Bloomington campus or an IU-administered or IU co-sponsored Overseas Study program.
   2. At least 9 credit hours in the minor must be completed at the 300–499 level.
   3. Except for the GPA requirement, a grade of C- or higher is required for a course to count toward a requirement in the minor.
   4. A GPA of at least 2.000 for all courses taken in the minor—including those where a grade lower than C- is earned—is required.
   5. Exceptions to minor requirements may be made with the approval of the department's Director of Undergraduate Studies, subject to final approval by the College of Arts and Sciences.
