Academic Updates: Spring Course Offerings and Advanced Registration 

Advanced registration will begin October 28th-November 11th. Spring courses are now published on Path so you can start to make plans for next term. 

If you would like to schedule an advising session with me to discuss your courses next term (and beyond), please choose a date on my calendly here
Otherwise, here are some important tips to help you prepare. 
PLEASE READ THESE TIPS. I NOTICE QUITE A FEW OF YOU ALL ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THESE PROCEDURES SO I HOPE THIS HELPS. 

 

  • Advising holds have been placed on each students’ Path. In order to have your hold removed, you must meet with your assigned faculty advisor. You will not be able to register if this hold remains on your Path.
  • You may have other holds on your account that you must resolve before you can register. Please see more information on holds, how to find them and remove them here.
  • Dr. Riggleman is currently on sabbatical and will not be advising students. If you have Dr. Riggleman as your faculty advisor, please reach out to Dr. Holleran (our interim chair) to discuss your plans and remove your hold on Path.
  • The current CBE CPG (course planning guide) can be found on the CBE UG Curriculum page here. Every student should be using the “entering Fall 2020 and later” CPG, or referencing the course catalog here. There have been a few curriculum changes in the past year (that may not be visible on your Path) so please make sure you are using the correct CPG.
  • Please make sure you are choosing your courses carefully, and that they have the proper attributes or are approved courses in the SEAS handbook. Otherwise, you may waste your time taking a course that won’t count in your CBE curriculum.
  • A reminder of the Course Load/CU Increase Policy from handbook: “Students are not permitted to pre-register for more than 5.5 cu during advance registration. (A 6.5 cu maximum may be granted for dual degree students and seniors who need more cus to graduate on time.) Students may only register for more than 5.5 course units at the start of the new semester after grades and course load from the previous semester are available. The department can increase the maximum load from 5 to 6 cu or 5.5 to 6.5 cu (one cu increment) if the student is in good academic standing (a 3.0 gpa or better and no outstanding incompletes).”
I will have extra paper copies of CPGs in the CBE office if you would like to stop by and grab one.
