Advising for Spring '08 Registration

If you have questions about registering for Spring 2008 or want help planning your schedule to make sure you are on track with your major, please visit the JMS Undergraduate advising center BEFORE you leave for winter break. The JMS Advising Center will be open its regular schedule until Finals Week; it will then have a finals week schedule. Once finals are over, the JMS advising center will be closed until after New Year's. We will be open in January during registration, but on a limited schedule.

For those of you needing to change from premajor status to major status: the computer will run an automatic program January 2nd, changing all those whose academic records reflect completion of premajor requirements. If you have questions about this or believe that you will need to be manually changed from premajor to major, please visit the JMS Undergraduate Advising Center for advising on how to proceed.

When a class requires completion of other courses

If a class requires completion of other courses, most times the computer will still let you register. This does NOT mean that you will be allowed to remain in the class. In most cases, the professor will require proof of completion of prerequisites on the first day of classes and if you have not taken the prerequisite course(s), you will have to drop the class. Save yourself headaches and make sure to register only for classes for which you have completed the prerequisite courses.

"Proof of completion of prerequisites" means bringing an unofficial copy of your transcript to show the professor.
