Course Registration Timeline for Fall 2008
I. Prepare for Course Registration: February 13 -
March 19 (return to top of page)
- Review Degree Requirements & Meet with an Advisor:
Be sure you're keeping your degree requirements in mind - review your Degree Progress Report on
Wolverine Access, the
degree
requirements checklist, and/or make a
counseling appointment to
review your status. Please note that we recently fixed a calculation error
that was occurring on the audit, so we recommend that all students
review their Degree Progress Report on
Wolverine Access.
(*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 Degree Progress Report ASAP on Wolverine
Access to make sure that any summer courses you took off-campus are now
showing up on your record.
Any ECON 102 transfer credits MUST be on your record by the end of the
Winter 2008. 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 E2540, 701 Tappan, or fax: 734-763-7804.
-
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, excluding 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. Because of the University
tuition payment dates, you should regularly review your account to
be sure all payments and credits are properly attributed.
- Clear your bills.
- Request that Student Financial Operations
or the cashier 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, March 3
the Fall 2008 Schedule of
Classes will be
viewable on Wolverine Access and the
Registrar's website.
- Check prerequisites: Course 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 course in a
prior term.
-
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: During the Fall of your Junior year, you will take FIN 300 (3.0
credits), LHC 350 (1.5
credits), and MKT 300 (3.0 credits)
-
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.
- Review your core course schedule on
Wolverine Access:
March 19. Sophomore BBAs will be pre-enrolled by Academic
Services into the following core courses for Fall 2008.
- FIN 300 = 3.0 credits
- LHC 350 = 1.5 credits
- MKT 300 = 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.
II. Backpack: March 19 - 28
(return to top of page)
- View your assigned registration appointment time on
Wolverine Access:
March 19
- Review your assigned core course schedule in
Wolverine Access: by
March 19 Academic Services will pre-register
Sophomore BBA
students into the three Fall core courses (FIN 300, LHC 350, and MKT 300).
- Backpack elective classes: March 19 through assigned registration appointment time.
- Friday, March 28: Ensure that you have cleared any
Financial
Holds on your account.
III. Register for Fall Classes: March 31 -
September 1
(return to top of page)
- Monday, March 31 - Monday, April 14: Registration appointment times begin for
undergraduate students. Students will be able to add electives 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 should make use of
the CTools site and should not use the email distribution through
iMpact to send out requests for swaps. Students will be able to join this site on
March 10,
however, Academic Services will NOT accept emails regarding
swap-partners until March 21.
By
sending the email to Academic Services on March 21 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. Sophomore registration won’t
begin in Wolverine Access until early April, and
it is risky to plan any swap before actually securing your seat in the
desired specific elective course.
To join the CTools site, 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 to
rossacadservices@umich.edu
on or after MARCH 21 to indicate that they are willing to switch
sections (please indicate your full name, UMID#, the specific swap sections, and
full name of swap partner).
* Reminder!! By sending the email to Academic Services, students
are committing to making those changes to their schedule.
Please also note that we will not accept any swap requests after the
first day of class - Tuesday, September 2.
- Drop/Add 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,
students must submit a completed
Drop/Add Verification Form
to Academic Services and have a drop/add form (University Election
Worksheet) signed by 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.
