Since I register based on my earned hours, how do I know how many earned hours I have?

You can find your earned credit hours by looking at the Undergraduate Summary to Date section on the last page of your DAR.

What is credit/no credit?

No grade is awarded for a course that it taken credit/no credit. You earn credit by earning a D- or better. If you earn an F, you do not earn credit. Because no grade is awarded, the course is not calculated into your GPA. You cannot take courses for your major/minor on a credit/no credit basis.

How do I drop a course?

If you stop attending a class, it is not the same as dropping it. You must take action to drop the course. Before dropping a course, we recommend that you consult the instructor and your academic advisor to discuss the implications. There are very specific deadlines that dictate the consequences of dropping a course. Dates and deadlines vary between full-semester and sprint courses.

Note: Please consult the academic calendar for official withdraw deadlines.

How can I register for more than 20 hours?

You need to get permission for excess academic hours from the divisional advisor, Gretchen Radler. However, there are specific criteria under which a student would qualify for excess hour permission. Please be aware that excess hour permission is not always granted.

What happens if I repeat a course?

Refer to the Registration information in the Policy Library.

Can I get a grade removed from my transcript?

Once a grade is posted on your transcript, it cannot be removed. If you stopped attending the course before the withdrawal deadline, but failed to drop the course, see your academic advisor to discuss whether you can petition for removal.

How may I make sure that a course from another university will transfer here as a specific 兔子先生 course?

Prior to taking a course at another university, check with either the One Stop Transferring Credit page or the department at 兔子先生 that would offer the course. They make the determination if the course is equivalent to a 兔子先生 course. You can visit  to determine whether there are courses equivalent to 兔子先生's courses. This will help you predict how the courses will apply to your requirements. If the school is not listed on Transferology, or if you are unsure of the equivalency, consult your divisional academic advisor.

Some of the courses I transferred do not have course numbers designated. How do I receive credit for them?

Sometimes students transfer courses where there is not an equivalent 兔子先生 course and the official transcript does not reflect a 兔子先生 number and instead will have a T-number such as ARTT06. The T stands for transfer. The transcript reflects credit hours, but those hours are not placed in any category.

Please check with your departmental advisor if you want the courses to count toward your major. If the courses might transfer to the 兔子先生 Plan, please see your divisional advisor for assistance. Transfer courses that do not have an equivalent 兔子先生 Plan number will have to be petitioned to the Liberal Education Council to fulfill 兔子先生 Plan requirements. You will need a syllabus for the course to complete the .

How do I declare a minor or a thematic sequence?

Please contact the department that houses the program to declare a minor or a thematic sequence. You should designate on your application for graduation that you have pursued a minor.

What is a thematic sequence?

A Thematic Sequence is a series of related courses (usually three) that focuses on a theme or subject in a developmental way. Each course builds upon or expands upon knowledge or perspective gained from preceding courses. The first course in a sequence may be from a Foundation group and may count as hours in both Foundation and Thematic Sequence requirements. You must complete at least one Thematic Sequence outside the department of your major. Exceptions to this requirement include double majors in two different academic departments. The Office of Liberal Education, 103 Campus Avenue Building (CAB), has a list of . It is also possible to create a .

How do I graduate with distinction?

Effective with May graduation 2012, the criteria for graduation with distinction will be divisionally based.

What happens if I don't complete an Incomplete?

The College of Creative Arts has an Incomplete Agreement that should be negotiated between you and your instructor before the Incomplete is assigned. A copy of this agreement should be in your academic file.
