ADVISING
DAY: Wednesday, December 11th
ON-LINE
COURSE REGISTRATION – Round One: Thursday, Dec. 12th • 8am – Friday, Dec. 13th at
midnight
Beginning
at 8:00 am on Thursday, December 13th, students and faculty will be able to access
the on-line registration system by logging on to BIP. Students will be able to request up to 18 credits. Courses to which a student
is already committed, such as Senior Project II, will count toward the 18 credits.
Faculty
Response:
Faculty log on to BIP to view requests, and respond with "accepted"
or "denied". If registration for
a course is "denied", the field will re-open and students will be permitted
to request registration in another course through the on-line system. If the professor responds with "accepted",
the student is then registered for the course and the field is closed. If the professor has not yet responded, the "pending"
course will block the field and students will need to wait for a decision before
requesting a new course. Faculty responses should be completed by noon
on Monday, December 16th.

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 5th). 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
(Feb 26th). Late drop requires the signature of the professor,
the student’s adviser, and a registrar. Late
drop is not available to part-time students.

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
(Feb 26th). 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.
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.
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 to 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.

with registration you should talk to one of the following people:
