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. Upper College Seminars
for moderated students meet once per week and are limited to an enrollment of
15 students.

choices.

register. If you are not clear please go
to the Office of Student Accounts.
v Students will be billed for each 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:
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.
