How does a student get
into a closed class?
Permission to enroll in a closed class must be granted on BANNER by the
instructor of the class or the chairman of the department offering the class.
Once permission is on BANNER, the student may register for that course after
his/her designated day and time.
How does a student
locate a tutor?
Students needing academic assistance should seek it out as early in the term as
possible. The instructor or department offering the course for which academic
assistance is needed may be able to provide names of tutors (fees vary). Some
departments offer Help Labs during the term which may provide the necessary
assistance.
How many electives does
a student have?
Electives are major specific and most majors limit the number of electives a
student may apply toward the degree. There is no “bank” of electives to deposit
courses that do not count in any particular area. It is therefore prudent for a
student to work closely with an advisor to develop and track his/her
educational plan.
What cocurricular
activities are available?
To become involved in areas outside the classroom that complement academic undertakings,
contact the Office of Student Activities. The office coordinates and funds a
variety of activites such as the Student Government Association, student
newspaper, student magazine, student clubs and organizations, the Lyceum
Series, the Film Series, Intramural and club sports, choir, band, and theatre.

How does a student
change major?
Before initiating a change of major, a student should confer with his/her
academic advisor and carefully assess the impact of such change on the
student's educational plan. To process a change of major, the student completes
a short form at Student Records indicating the new major and concentration (if
applicable). It is recomended that a student change early in the term, before
midterm, to allow ample time for processing the form, transferring of records,
and correct routing of priority registration advising materials. A student
should then become familiar with the new advising department's procedures and
establish a working relationship with the new advisor.
