For example, if you do not meet the prerequisite for Soc 101B, which is Soc. 101A, you will be dropped from the course. Your seat is then released and available to another student. You should attend all class meetings for courses you intend to take. If for some reason you are unable to attend, you should contact the instructor to let them know why you can.
Instructors can only drop students through the end of the second week of instruction.
This allows a student to avoid unnecessary grade competition with students who might be better prepared to take the course. All other sociology courses must be taken for a letter grade if used for major requirements. After the third week and up until the eighth week you can change your grading option by submitting the Petition to Change Class Schedule to a Sociology Undergraduate Advisor. The eighth week deadline is firm, and exceptions are rarely granted by the Dean in the College of Letters and Science. To earn a Pass in a course, you must complete the coursework with a C- grade or better.
