You should speak with your academic advisor or student success navigator to identify classes that are appropriate for your interests and academic program. You can also find out the specific requirements of your major by logging into Banner Self Service and viewing your Degree Audit. Your Degree Audit will list all possible courses required in your declared major.

The most up-to-date course information is online at . You can find the course list in two locations: as a link on the main myÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú page or under the Student Services tab in the registration system. You can search for courses using any of the following parameters: campus, subject, course number, title, attribute, part of term (full semester or sprint course), start time, end time, day, and/or instructor. A  is also available.

To be considered a full-time student, you must register for at least 12 hours. The maximum load without special permission is 20 hours. Oxford students are limited to 17 credits initially (18 if majoring in the College of Engineering and Computing), but may add more credits (up to 20) before the semester begins. If you register for more than 18 credit hours, you will be assessed an overload fee. This fee will vary depending on what courses you register for. Please see the One Stop to determine the exact amount of overload fee you will be charged. You may register for more than 17 credit hours during your initial registration if adding a music ensemble with permission from the department or division. Most students take between 14 and 18 hours each semester.

One of the biggest transitions to college-level work is the increased amount of study time needed to be successful. Too often, students underestimate this. Although it varies for each student, generally you will want to set aside two to three (2-3) hours of study time for each hour of class time.

For your first semester, advisors and navigators at orientation will lead you through the registration process in Banner Self Service. Domestic students attend orientation in the summer and register at orientation with the help of their advisor. In subsequent semesters, you should meet with your academic advisor or student success navigator and register for your courses through Banner Self Service.

After orientation, you will register for classes according to your "time ticket.” To find your time ticket and check for any holds on your student account that might impede your ability to register for classes, log into Banner Self Service. Please visit the One Stop for more information.

The online registration system does not permit time conflicts during the registration process.

You can do one of three things: 1) Check the online open course list on Banner Self Service to see if there is another open section, or to see if the course has opened and, if it has, try to add it; 2) Submit a Registration Override Request (ROR) or join the Banner waitlist. Note that submitting an ROR or joining a Banner waitlist does not guarantee that you will be registered for the course;3) Plan to take the course another semester and choose a different course for the current term.

You must have your official test scores, from the , sent to ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University. A notification will be sent to your ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú email account with instructions on how to check what credit has been awarded. Please compare your course schedule and the AP course credit you have been awarded. If you have scheduled a course in the fall for which you have received AP credit, you may need to adjust your schedule.

Some programs have special admission requirements such as a minimum grade point average or completion of prerequisite courses. In these areas, you begin as a pre-major and when you meet those requirements, you become a full major.

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú has no physical education requirement. No more than 10 credit hours of Physical Activity Life Skills (PALS) courses (those numbered SLM 110-170) can be counted toward graduation.

All choral and instrumental groups are open to all students by audition. Generally speaking, you register for these groups when you register for classes, then complete an audition in the fall. Check the  for more information about auditions. Sign-up information for many ensemble auditions is provided during Welcome Week. You may register for more than 17 credit hours during your initial registration if adding a music ensemble. To join the marching band, you must attend band camp, held the week before school begins in August.

Yes. Requirements of the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Plan, your division, and your major often overlap. One course may fulfill several requirements. While one course cannot fulfill two ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Plan requirements, one course can fulfill a ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Plan requirement and a requirement for your major.

Most courses are full 14-week courses with an additional week for final examinations. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University also offers sprint or accelerated courses that meet for less than the full 14-week semester.

Any course that does not meet the entire semester is called a "sprint course." You can search for sprint courses through Banner Self Service by part of term.

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University utilizes the following grading system on a 4.00 scale:

Add the hours you have attempted for a grade in the semester. Then figure the point value of your grades by multiplying the point value of the grade by the number of hours in the course. Divide the number of points by the number of hours; this is your GPA.

To calculate your cumulative GPA, divide total points for all terms by the total number of credit hours you attempted for a grade. Grade point averages are truncated to the second decimal place.

Yes, there are other letters you could receive, such as: IU or IUY for Incomplete, L for courses audited, P for passing, W for withdrawal. The grades of “ADF” and “ADY” denote a sanction of failure or no credit for the course due to a finding of Academic Dishonesty. Some courses may be taken on a credit/no-credit basis. Credit earned in these courses will be indicated using grades of “CR1” or “CR2”, while a grade of “NCR” is used to indicate that no credit was earned. Courses taken on a credit/no-credit basis do not factor into your GPA. See the General Bulletin for more information.

You are responsible for any course material or work missed due to the absence. You should contact your instructor as soon as possible before the absence. Rather than expecting the faculty member to go over the material you miss, you should confer with another student in the class or consult the Canvas course site.

No. To earn a teaching license, you must complete a licensure degree program and you must be admitted to a B.S. in Education degree program. However, this may be one of two or more majors you complete simultaneously; e.g., B.S. in Education in Mathematics and a B.S. or B.A. in Mathematics. The licensure degree programs in art and music are in those departments in the College of Creative Arts.
