REGISTRATION
FOR SPRING 2017:
Drop/Add Period
The drop/add period
will extend from the first day of class until 5 p.m. on Wednesday of the second
week of classes (Feb. 8th). Drop/add requires the signature of the professor
and the student’s adviser.
Provided the 12
credit full-time enrollment minimum is observed, courses may be “late” dropped
until 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Wednesday of the term
(March 1, 2017).
Late drop requires the signature of the professor, the student’s adviser, and a
registrar. Late drop is not available to
part-time students.
Pass/Fail/D
Students can
request to take a course that is normally letter graded as pass/fail/D until
5:00 p.m. on the fifth Wednesday of the term (March 1, 2017). The petition
requires the signature of the professor.
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, COURSES CARRY FOUR CREDITS.
A standard course load is 16 credits (four 4-credit courses, or the
equivalent) per semester. First-year and transfer students may register for
no more than 18 credits in their first semester. Returning students with a 3.6 average or
better may petition to enroll in more than 18 credits. There is an additional
charge for every credit over 20. Contact Students Accounts concerning charges
for auditing classes.

LEVEL DESIGNATIONS:
100 level 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.

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.
