Appointments are assigned according to class standing beginning with the senior class. No one will be allowed to preschedule without the signature of their advisor. If the advisor is not available, students may obtain the signature of the department chair of their major. Prescheduling of a fourth course, unless specifically required by a student's program of study, is not allowed. Students wishing to preschedule for a card course must first sign a list at the department office then return later in the week to pick up the card, provided they have been allowed entry into the course.
Cards are only valid the week of prescheduling.
After prescheduling, written permission from the instructor is required to enter a card course, regardless of whether the course is open or not. Later conversion to a letter grade will be done only if absolutely required by a student's official change of major and only upon the specific written request of the student. Students may drop a course during the first six weeks of the term with their adviser's approval. Both the academic adviser and the associate dean for undergraduate education must approve the withdrawal. If a student chooses to drop or withdraw from a course and as a result take less than a full course load for the term in question, tuition will not be prorated.
