Contact Students Accounts concerning charges for auditing classes.
COURSE LEVEL DESIGNATIONS:
100 level
courses
Most 100 level courses are open to all students
without prerequisite. However, some of these courses do require some background
in the subject or, in the case of introductory photography, writing, and studio
art courses, the submission of a portfolio. Check individual course descriptions for details.
200 level
courses
Many 200 level courses are also open to all
students without prerequisite. However, in some programs there are strict
prerequisites, and the courses are only open to students with Sophomore
standing or higher. Check individual
course descriptions for details.
300 and 400
level courses
Most 300 and 400 level courses have stated
pre-requisites, and are open only to students who have a background in the
subject. The classes are limited to an
enrollment of 15 students; Upper College Seminars for moderated students meet
once per week.
v
Prior
to the start of course registration have a list of courses you wish to take, as
well as a list of alternatives in case you are not able to get into your first
choices.
v You
must be financially clear in order register.
If you are not clear please go to the Office of Student Accounts.
v Students
will be billed for every credit over 20. The equivalent of 4 credits may be
audited at no charge, audits in excess of 4 credits will be billed. See
Students Accounts for specifics.
v Prior
to registration, collect any forms you may need from the Office of the
Registrar, Ludlow 201. These forms include:
Irregular Program Form: needed if you
wish to register for more than 18 credits (you must have a B average or
above), or if you intend to be a part-time student.
Independent Study Proposal:
independent studies differ from tutorials because the research and writing is
done almost entirely on your own. Executive Committee approval and a faculty
sponsor are required.
Change of Adviser Form: Obtain the signature of the new adviser on the change of adviser
form.
v
Advisers
will receive a list of their advisees’ courses for approval. If approved the
adviser will sign and return the form to the Registrar.
