may not early register for the following semester and may not return to the
College until this requirement has been fulfilled.

end of the fifth semester will not be permitted to register for the following

Tulane. Students who entered Tulane as transfer students may be permitted to
satisfy this requirement with transfer credit. See the individual school sections of

any reason prior to graduation.

degree candidates must have completed the last 30 credits of coursework in
