EXPLANATION OF COURSE NUMBERS
|
The first three digits of the number are the Subject Area (or Department) number. |
If the first digit after the colon is a "0" this indicates a course which is open primarily to freshmen and sophomores. |
If the first digit after the colon is a "1" this indicates a course which is open primarily to juniors and seniors. A "g" after a 100 course number indicates the course carries graduate credit for graduate students.
|
If the first digit after the colon is a "2" this indicates a course which is open primarily to graduate students. Undergraduates seeking admission to the course must secure the permission of the head of the department offering the course.
|
If the first digit after the colon is a 3" this indicates a course which is open primarily to doctoral students, and graduates seeking admission to the course must secure the permission of the head of the department offering the course.
|
SECTIONS NUMBERED IN THE "80s" (OR "8" AND A LETTER) MEET THE FIRST-HALF OF A SEMESTER. SECTIONS NUMBERED IN THE "90s" (OR "9" AND A LETTER) MEET THE SECOND-HALF OF A SEMESTER.
|
PREREQUISITES |
An entry in parentheses after a course title indicates a prerequisite to be satisfied before enrolling for the course. |
The university reserves the right to remove students from courses for which prerequisites have not been met. |
STUDENT CLASS SCHEDULES
|
Upon completion of registration each student is given a copy of their schedule. This is the only free copy the student will receive. |
REPEATING COURSES
|
Students must identify any course which is being repeated. Print "Rep" in the Special column on the registration form or Change of Registration form or answer the appropriate questions when self-registering. |
AUDITING CLASSES
|
Students may register for audit by printing "Aud" in the Special column on the registration form. The student's name will appear on class and grade lists with audit identified. Student grade reports and transcripts of student records will not automatically show course listing or notation of audit if the student is registered for other courses. Students registered only for audit would have a grade report and a transcript listing which would show only the word "audit". In either case the course title would not be listed unless a student request approved by the instructor showing the student regularly attended the course is filed in the Office of the Registrar.
|
Students registering as auditors may change to registration for credit within the first four days of a four-week session, the first five days of a six-week session, and the first seven days of an eight-week session of the summer semester. After that any change would require signatures from the course instructor and the Office of Academic Affairs. |
Audit hours are included in the maximum credit hour load a student may take. Students may audit a course, but the fee assessment will be the same as courses taken for credit. |
APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION |
Seniors who expect to graduate at the end of the Summer 2008 Semester must complete an undergraduate graduation application form. These forms can be completed electronically at the time of registration or at any time by a separate option in MyUNIverse. Paper copies are also available at the Registrar's Office. |
For graduate students, applications for graduation can be completed on paper or electronically on MyUNIverse at the time students register for their last semester of classes, or any time up to the 12th week of classes (July 1 deadline for all summer sessions). During Fall and Spring semesters, the 12th week helps assure students' names will be included in the commencement publication. After the 12th week, special application for graduation must be made on paper and submitted to the academic department for approval. Paper applications are available at MyUNIverse in the "forms repositiory", at the Office of the Registrar, or in academic departments. |
