Advising Notes:

1. Unconditional admission to the major is given to students with a cumulative GPA of 2.0, no single grade lower than a C in SOWK 287 and 288 (complete at JMU; no equivalents in the VCCS), and completion of the 20 hours of community service required in SOWK 287.
2. Community service (20 hours) must be completed while enrolled in SOWK 287. Beyond that, students will be expected to complete an additional 50 hours of service for the major. Service completed before transferring to JMU will not be counted, however commitment to and consistency of service reflects well on the student so it is still valuable.
