Four Bear Contract Addendum

This addendum refers specifically to student commitment number three of the Four Bear contract: "Be accepted into the ultimate degree major prior to earning 45 credits (the plan is applicable to one major only)."

I understand all of the following:

• The definition of "ultimate degree major" is a major in which one can earn a degree from The University of Montana. Therefore, it is not acceptable to have the following majors listed on your official UM record as your primary major upon completion of 45 cumulative credits:

Undeclared	Pre-Education	Pre-English
Pre-Law	Pre-Communication Studies	Pre-Psychology
Pre-Nursing	Pre-Physical Therapy	Pre-Med

• It is my responsibility to meet all eligibility requirements, complete any applicable application materials, and/or complete a change of major form in order to be accepted into my ultimate degree major.
  
• If I am a Pre-Pharmacy or Pre-Journalism major, I must apply and be accepted to my professional school by the time I earn 60 cumulative credits.
  
• If I am a continuing Pre-Nursing student, I am eligible for program participation until I have completed 45 credits.
  
• It is the absolute discretion of departments to make decisions on the acceptance of students into its degree majors and whether Four Bear status can be maintained. You must abide by the decision or appeal to the appropriate person within the department or to the Four Bear Coordinator.
  
• My Four Bear contract will be voided if I change my major after I have completed 45 cumulative credits.
  
• The Four Bear contract is applicable to one major.
  
• Secondary teaching certifications are considered second majors.
