  2. Review the MSCM degree requirements: Be sure you are keeping your degree requirements in mind.  For assistance with degree requirements, please refer to the degree requirements checklist as you plan your Winter term.
    • 30 Credits are needed to graduate (an average of 15.00 credits per semester)
    • Core courses specified above must be completed in the sequence shown.
    • MSCM students may register for Business electives, except Finance courses.
      • MSCM students may *not* register for Finance courses, as Finance electives all require prerequisite coursework, which you have not met.
      • MSCM students may be permitted to add Finance electives on an individual basis with instructor permission starting Fall 2010.
    • IOE/MECHENG electives must be from the approved list below:
      • IOE 441.001
      • IOE 466.001
      • IOE 510.001
      • IOE 549.001
      • MECHENG 589.881

     

  3. 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 for classes. Check even if you are sure your statement is okay. We do not anticipate any concerns with your account, however it is still recommended that you check your status.
    2. If you do have a financial hold, clear your bills.
    3. Request Student Financial Operations  (734-764-7447) or the cashier to lift your financial hold. This is not done automatically once you have cleared your bills. Then notify Rossacadservices@umich.edu so that we can pre-register your core classes.
       
  4. Review the Schedule of Classes: View the Winter 2010 Schedule of Classes on Wolverine Access and the Registrar's website. These sites indicate the times/dates/places for your elective options.
    • Check prerequisites: You are responsible for meeting the course prerequisites for any elective you elect. Check the Course Descriptions thoroughly for course prerequisites.
      • 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: Any elective you select must fit around the pre-registered classes on your Winter schedule-- we cannot move your core to accommodate an elective!
    • Course Load: A normal full-time course load is about 15 credit hours a term, with a maximum of 18 credits.  While the University does allow students to select up to 18 credits per term, this is a heavy academic load to carry along with Boot Camp activities which will be occurring this Winter term.  Additionally, the MSCM program is a two-semester program with graduation expected in December 2010.  Because of the careful sequencing of the core, we do not have flexibility to allow part-time enrollment in this program.

II. Review Core Schedule and Backpack: November 16 - December 14

  1. Review your core course schedule in Wolverine Access: In early-November Academic Services will pre-register MSCM students into their Winter core courses. You will be able to see this schedule (with times) on Wolverine Access once we complete this process.
  2. Ensure that you have cleared any Financial Holds on your account and notified Rossacadservices@umich.edu.

III. Register for Winter Elective Class(es): December 15 - January 10 (return to top of page)

  1. Tuesday, December 15 - Sunday, January 10: Registration appointment times begin for graduate students. Students will be able to modify their course schedules via Wolverine Access to add an approved elective to their Winter schedule.
  2. 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 Verification Form (available online and from Academic Services). For more instructions on modifying your schedule and getting permissions for closed classes:
  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.
