November 15 (return to top of page)
- Review Academic Requirements & Meet with an Advisor: Be
sure you're keeping your academic requirements in mind - review your
Academic Requirements on
Wolverine Access, the
degree
requirements checklist, and/or make a
counseling appointment
to review your status. (*Dual Degree students or students
completing an LSA Minor may have additional or different
requirements than those listed below. Be sure to check with your advisor!)
- Non-U of M Transfer Credits: Review your Academic
Requirements ASAP on
Wolverine Access to make
sure that any summer courses you took off-campus are now showing
up on your record. The number of
credits completed on your record will impact your assigned
registration appointment time so it's to your benefit to make
sure these are taken care of in advance. Contact
Academic Services if you have questions regarding transfer
credits.
- You must have a minimum of 45 business credits in order
to graduate.
- You must have a minimum of 54 non-business credits
(e.g. LS&A, Engineering, approved Kinesiology courses, etc.).
- Business Law (either LHC 305 or 306) is a core course
requirement that may be taken at any time during the BBA
program. You will not be pre-enrolled into Business Law at any
point in your program, but must complete the requirement in
order to graduate.
- Foreign Language Proficiency for distribution
purposes (if you plan to meet one of the BBA distribution
requirements with Foreign Language Proficiency): Check your
unofficial transcript for notations regarding foreign language.
If you have already met foreign language proficiency and it is
not yet noted on your unofficial transcript, we need to receive
confirmation from the language department. Please request that
the language department send confirmation to Academic Services
via email: rossacadservices@umich.edu, campus mail: Room E2420, 701
Tappan, or fax: 734-763-8833.
- Complete 3 of the 4 Distribution Requirements:
Foreign Language (4th semester proficiency, see above bullet);
Humanities (9 credits); Natural Science and/or MSA (9 credits);
Social Science* (9 credits) *Excludes ECON 101 & 102.
- Check Your Account for Financial Holds:
- Review your Student Account status on
Wolverine Access to
confirm that no Holds (Service Indicators) are in place which
would block your registration into classes. Check even if you
are sure your statement is okay!
- Clear your bills.
- Request Student Financial
Operations or the cashier to lift your financial hold. This is
not done automatically. Call 734-764-7447.
- Contact Academic Services if you require schedule
accommodation for documented Academic, Athletic, Health or Religious
Conflicts: Students who require schedule changes to accommodate dual
degree/minor, athletic, medical or religious obligations should
submit documentation from authorized medical personnel, religious
leader or organization, official coaches if your status as an
official student athlete requires such accommodation, or an Academic
Advisor indicating that a particular course is required in a certain
term in order to complete a student's dual degree or minor. Letters
should be submitted to Academic Services and we will make the
necessary schedule changes.
- Review the Schedule of Classes: On Monday, October
19
the Winter 2010 Schedule of Classes will be viewable on
Wolverine Access and the
Registrar's website.
Students may also utilize the LSA
Course Guide (available November 6) in their schedule planning.
- Check prerequisites: You are responsible for meeting
the course prerequisites for classes you elect. Check the Course Descriptions
thoroughly for course prerequisites and feel free to reach out
to an instructor if you have specific questions.
- If a prerequisite is listed in the system as a "Course"
prerequisite, Wolverine Access will NOT allow you to
register for the course unless you have completed the
requirements
in a prior term. (If you have completed the requirement via
waiver, please contact Academic
Services for permission to enroll.)
- If a prerequisite is "Advisory", Wolverine Access
will allow you to enroll without having fulfilled the
requirement; however, instructors reserve the right to
remove you at a later (less convenient) date. Please review
prerequisite information CAREFULLY, and contact the
instructor/department or Academic Services if you have any
questions.
- Remember core classes: In the Winter of your Junior
year, you will take BIT 300 (1.5 credits), MO 300 (3.0 credits)
and OMS 311 (3.0 credits) = 7.5 credits total
- Course Load: A normal full-time course load is about
15 credit hours a term, with a maximum of 18 credits. You must
select a minimum of 12 credit hours to be a full-time student.
Going below 12 credits makes you a part-time student, which
affects financial aid, degree progress, and (for international
students) immigration status. To register for fewer than 12
credits in a term, you must request approval from Academic
Services.
- Check class dates: We have some new 1.5 elective
courses that are condensed into half terms (Winter A or Winter B). As you select courses be sure to
review the class notes and dates carefully!
- Review your core course schedule on
Wolverine Access in
mid-November. Junior BBAs will be pre-enrolled by Academic
Services into the following core courses for Winter 2010.
- BIT 300 = 1.5 credits
- MO 300 = 3.0 credits
- OMS 311 = 3.0 credits
These courses will appear on your schedule in
Wolverine Access
BEFORE registration opens. Students MAY register for elective
courses that conflict with their core, but should be aware of the
requirements for resolving course conflicts.
If you are unable to change a conflicting core, you may be required
to drop the elective course at a later date.
- Review Core Schedule and Backpack: November
16 - 29 (return to top of page)
- View your assigned registration appointment time on
Wolverine Access:
November 16
- Review your assigned core course schedule in
Wolverine Access: in
mid-November Academic Services will pre-register Junior
BBA students into the three Winter core courses (BIT 300, MO 300 and
OMS 311).
- Backpack elective classes: November 16 through assigned
registration appointment time.
- Wednesday, November 25: Ensure that you have cleared any
Financial Holds on your account.
- Register for Winter Classes: November 30 -
January 5 (return to top of page)
- Monday, November 30 - Tuesday, December 15: Registration
appointment times begin for undergraduate students. Students will be
able to add classes via
Wolverine Access.
- Begin to resolve any course conflicts
between core courses and electives: Students who wish to change
core sections to accommodate an elective class will need to identify
a classmate in another section of the core who is willing to "swap"
sections with them. To assist in identifying classmates willing to
swap, a CTools site has been created to provide students with a
discussion forum. Students will be able to join this site starting
Monday, November 16, however, Academic Services will NOT
accept emails regarding swap partners until November 25.
NOTE: By sending the email to
Academic Services on November 25 or later, students are committing to
making those changes to their schedule. We recommend that students
arrange a swap only when they are sure they have a seat in the
elective class of their choice. Most Junior registration likely won’t begin in
Wolverine Access until
early December, and it is risky to plan any swap
before actually securing your seat in the desired specific elective
course.
To join the CTools site (starting November 16), students will log in to
https://CTools.umich.edu.
Under "My Worksite", click on "Membership", then "Joinable Sites",
and search for "BBA Core Conflicts". Click to "Join" the site. Use
the "Discussion" forum to search for other students looking to swap
sections. Once you have identified a "swap" partner, EACH student
must individually send an email from his/her @UMICH.EDU email
account to rossacadservices@umich.edu on or after
November 25 to
indicate that he/she is willing to switch sections. The email should indicate:
- Your name and UMID
- The name of the student with whom you have arranged a swap
- The course and section you are swapping OUT OF
- The section you are swapping INTO
*Reminder!! By sending the email to Academic Services,
students are committing to making those changes to their schedule.
We recommend that students arrange a swap only when they are sure
they have a seat in the elective class of their choice.
- Add/Drop classes & obtain Permissions for closed classes:
View the Registration Calendar as well as the
Academic Calendar
for the specific drop/add deadlines. After the drop/add deadline, you
must have your drop/add form signed by Academic Services, and any drop
must be accompanied by a completed
Drop/Add Verification Form
(available online and from Academic Services). For more instructions on modifying
your schedule and getting permissions for closed classes:
- Be aware of Class Attendance Policies: At the discretion of
the instructor, students may be dropped from a class if they do not
attend the first class meeting for a once-a-week class, or the first two
class meetings for a twice-a-week class. Be sure to review the CTools
site for each class for additional attendance guidelines.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact our office.
