6 The University reserves the right to cancel courses due to insufficient registration and to alter the time SCHEDULE . Courses numbered 101 to 199 are offered for students in their freshman year; those numbered 201 to 299 for the sophomore year; those numbered 301 to 399 for the junior year; and those numbered 401 to 499 for the senior year. Although late registration is permitted, the course load is reduced one credit for every week or fraction thereof missed. Any student who fails to register during the regularly scheduled registration period is charged a late registration service fee as outlined in the Manual of Charges provided by the Business Office. Careful planning in course selection results in few, if any, registration changes. Advisors are available for counsel; nevertheless, the student is held responsible for an acquaintance with the requirements as stated in the Bulletin. 5 ADVISORS While students may feel free to seek counsel from staff members at all times, it is to the students advantage at the time of registration to receive special assistance in matters of curriculum requirements and defining the general outline of a good academic program.

7 While planning his or her program, the student is assigned an academic advisor who is available for consultation. PRE-REQUISITES Some degrees and classes require pre-requisites. Pre-requisites are listed with course descriptions in the University s Bulletin. Students will be required to withdraw from classes for which they have not met the pre-requisites.

10 6 CREDIT BY EXAMINATION (CBE) Credit by Examination is a legitimate means by which students may earn academic credits. In this regard, please note the following: CBE is not a means by which failing grades can be changed. CBE assumes prior knowledge on the part of the student, and documentary proof of such must be provided with the CBE form. CBE s must be done during the first year of study. CBE must be administered within the first two weeks of the semester (see Calendar of Events). The University is under no obligation to give instructions to students for CBE. Grades awarded for courses completed by CBE are S (satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory). They are not used in computing GPA s. Be advised that this can be a disadvantage. INDEPENDENT STUDY All pre-designated independent study courses must be properly registered for making use of the special card obtainable at the Registrar s Office.
