Course Registration Timeline for Fall 2008

I. Prepare for Course Registration: March 3 - April 15 (return to top of page)

  1. Review Degree Requirements: Review the MAcc Curriculum and the degree requirements checklist, and begin to familiarize yourself with the Degree Progress Report on Wolverine Access to make sure you are aware of the requirements for the MAcc degree.

        • ACC 564.020: TTH 10:20 am - 11:50 am
        • ACC 564.003: TTH 12:40 pm - 2:10 pm
        • ACC 564.004: TTH 2:10 pm - 3:40 pm
        • ACC 564.005: TTH 3:40 pm - 5:10 pm

      • ACC 630.001: Auditing and Assurance (3.0 credit hours total, 1.5 credit hours each in Fall B and Winter A): meets Thursdays during Fall B from 7 - 10 pm.
    2. Additional Degree Requirements: In addition to the 9.0 credit hours of core MAcc courses above, and the 4.5 credit hours of core MAcc courses you will complete in Winter 2009, you will also need to select 3.0 credit hours of a Designated Core from the following list of courses: ACC 620, ACC 640/650, ACC 712, ACC 725, BE 570, and Tax Law courses. If you waive out of any of the regular core during the MAcc program, you will need to select 6.0 credit hours from this designated list. For Fall 2008, you should select approximately 6.0 credit hours of electives (for a total of 15 credit hours).
    3. Total Credits: Keep in mind that you will need to complete 30 credit hours between your Fall and Winter terms.
      1. MAcc students wishing to take LHC 512 in the Fall 2008 term should register for LHC 512.010.
         
  2. Check Your Account for Financial Holds:
    1. 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!
    2. Clear your bills.
    3. Request that Student Financial Operations or the cashier lift your financial hold. This is not done automatically. Call 734-764-7447.
       
  3. 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. (Meeting Dates Warning! Some courses have EXTRA meeting dates (particularly on Thursday nights). Be sure to check the course schedule information CAREFULLY as you plan your course selection to avoid conflicts.) 
    • 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 requirements 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.

    • 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 9 credit hours to be a full-time student. Going below 9 credits makes you a part-time student, which affects financial aid, degree progress, and (for international students) immigration status.  To register for fewer than 9 credits in a term, you must request approval from Academic Services. In addition, students should not register for more than 10 credits in any half (A/B) term. To calculate your half term credits, divide any full-term class credits in half and add them to your half term courses.

  2. Backpack classes: March 19 through assigned registration appointment time.

III. Register for Fall Classes: April 16 - September 1 (return to top of page)

  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- paying attention to the different dates for full term (Regular), First 7 Wk, and Scnd 7 Wk classes.

View more instructions on modifying your schedule and getting permissions for closed classes at the below links:
  3. 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.
