and course consultation in faculty offices.

college graduation requirements when planning your courses.
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, COURSES CARRY FOUR CREDITS.
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 All
faculty members will be in their offices for advising appointments and course
consultation on the morning of registration from 9:00 am – 10:30 am. THE ACTUAL SIGNING OF REGISTRATION CARDS
BEGINS AT 11:00 AM FOR SOPHOMORE II’S,
JUNIORS AND SENIORS, AND AT 1:30 PM FOR
ALL OTHER STUDENTS.
v Prior
to the start of course registration it is a good idea to 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.
Registration
cards will be placed in campus mailboxes on Tuesday, December 11.
RTCP students and students returning from a leave of absence should
pick cards up in the Registrar’s Office on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 12th.

You
must be financially clear in order to receive your registration card. If you are not clear please go to the Office
of Student Accounts.
v
Students registering for
more than 20 credits will be billed for every credit over 20.
v
Prior to registration
day, collect any forms you may need from the Office of the Registrar, Ludlow
201. On Registration Day the forms will be available in Henderson Computer
Center. These forms include:
v
Irregular Program Form:
needed if you have a B average or above and wish to register for more than
18 credits or if you intend to be a part-time student.
v Independent
Study Proposal: independent studies are not the same as tutorials
because the research and writing is done almost entirely on your own. Executive
Committee approval and a faculty sponsor are required.
v Change
of Adviser Form: it is not sufficient to ask your new
adviser to sign the registration card. You must complete the change of adviser
form.
v During
the registration period the instructor of each course must sign your
registration card.
v After
your registration card has been signed by faculty members have your adviser
review and sign the card.

Bring the completed registration card to the
Henderson Computer Center where your registration will be recorded and you will
receive a printout of your schedule. Courses without faculty signatures will
not be recorded. No registrations will be recorded without an adviser's
signature.

card with whatever you have signed up for by the end of registration day. You
can always add more courses later using an add/drop form, and at least you will
be registered.

registration day. Talk to Michele
Dominy, Celia Bland, David Shein, Peter Gadsby, or Diane Smith.
(3)
You lose your registration card. Go
to the Henderson Computer Center.
(4)
You want to change your adviser.
Pick up a Change of Adviser form from the Registrar, have your new adviser sign
the form and return it to the Office of the Registrar.
(5)
You want to register for a tutorial.
No special form is needed. Use the
designated space on the registration card; be sure to indicate the level and
number of credits.
