No student who has taken one of the lower division history of philosophy courses (211, 212, 213) will be permitted to enroll in its corresponding upper division number (301, 302, 303). Any student who falls into this category, and who is also a philosophy major, a philoso- phy minor, or a humanities major with a philosophy emphasis—all of whom are required to take upper divi- sion courses in the history of philosophy—will be asked to substitute another philosophy course for the history of philosophy course. Selection of an appropriate sub- stitute will be made in consultation with the student’s advisor. Normally, only students who have completed a general education course in philosophy will be permitted to enroll in upper division philosophy courses (300's and 400's). Exceptions to this policy may be permitted in special circumstances. All exceptions will require the approval the chair of the Philosophy Department.
