The course is a three hour elective and does count toward the 132 hours needed for graduation. This course should especially be recommended to freshmen who are uncertain about their choice of major or who do not have strong academic preparation for college. Upper Division Courses Courses numbered at the 300 and 400 levels are considered upper division courses. The upper division form is a student s degree plan outlining the courses, especially major and minor courses, that the student needs to take in order to graduate. In helping students with these forms, pay particular attention to which catalog the student is using.
Some departments have upper division forms specially tailored to each catalog edition.
Faculty advisors in other departments need to be especially careful to check that students are meeting all requirements for the catalog they are using. Advisors in departments using upper division forms not tailored to specific catalogs should note on the form which catalog is being used. Students DO NOT need to get the dean s signature on their forms even if there is a place for it on the form. Be sure that students have obtained the proper signatures and that they have entered their social security number before they take the form to the Records Office. Students should take the completed forms to the Records Office at Cope 102.
