Course registration time is rapidly upon us. The Faculty have some recommendations and advice for all of you who will be signing up for Spring 2007 courses.
 

bullet

The course requirements for individual TAPP majors have been examined and you will receive an email informing you as to which courses and sections have been reserved for you.
 

bulletWe will lift the registration holds on all TAPP majors, which means that you can register without receiving advisor permission.
 
bulletSimply because we do not require advisor permission to register does not mean that Dr. Lynch or myself will not be happy to spend some time advising you if you think you need help. If so, please make an appointment to see us. It is immensely helpful if you arrive at the meeting with us having given serious thought to your program of study!
 
bulletIt is not too difficult to advise yourself or prepare adequately for a meeting with us. The first, best place to begin is to review your degree audit, which can be found at "myUNIverse." It will list all the classes you must take to complete your degree and show you the ones that you have already taken.
 
bulletFurther information about our curriculum can be found at http://www.uni.edu/tapp/curricul.htm There you can find a four year program of study and the major's requirements.
 
bulletHere's some ball park advice to pay close attention to:
 
bulletif you have not taken 31T:013 Intro to Textile Materials, try to get into it because it is a major prerequisite for more advanced courses. You must use the sign-up sheet in the department office in Latham Hall. You cannot get into the class with computer registration. About a week after registration begins we will notify you if you've gotten into the class and will open a slot for you so that you can register by computer.
 
bulletif you have not taken 31T:012 Creative Design Foundations get into it if a slot has been reserved for you. We will be teaching two sections of this course, so there will be little excuse for not getting in. This course is a prerequisite for both Computer design courses, so it must be taken to get into those courses. This requirement will not be waived.
 
bulletif you have taken 31T:013 Introduction to Textile Materials or plan on taking it this spring, you should also try to get into 31T:014 Apparel Evaluation because it is a major prerequisite for the advanced design course. You must use the sign-up sheet in the department office. You cannot get into the class with the computer.
 
bulletif you have completed Apparel Evaluation 31T:014, then you should take 31T:122 Apparel Product Development, Planning and Design. A section of this course will be available Spring 2008.
 
bulletfor first and second year students that are looking for a good class in TAPP, 31T:121 Fashion Promotion is fun because it is involved with the Spring Design Show. Register for this class directly by computer.
 
bulletmore advanced students, junior and above should make sure they register for 31T:123 Textile Structures, 31T:100 Computer Applications* in Textiles and Apparel, 31T:115g Apparel Product Development, Merchandising and Buying, and/or 31T:114g Dress and Human Behavior.

 

* there is some confusion about the prerequisites for 31T:100.  The pre-requisite should be 31T:011 Computer Design Foundations. The pre-requisites sometimes mistakenly listed--150:080 or 810:021 are NO LONGER required.
