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.

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.
