We construct minisuperspace models for a class of theories of gravity nonminimally coupled with a scalar field. We show that when a Nöther symmetry exists, it is always possible to integrate the Wheeler-DeWitt equation and recover the semiclassical regime for the wave function of the universe. In this sense, we can interpret the Nöther symmetries as a selection rule in the philosophy of the so called Hartle criterion: when they exist, it is possible to select classical universes.
