    Total Credits approximately 15.00

     

  2. Review the MSCM degree requirements:
    • 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.
    • Electives for Winter 2009 must be from the following approved list:
    ACC 640.001 IOE 425* -- see note below
    LHC 517.001 IOE 466.001
    MKT 615.001 IOE 549.001
    MKT 630.001 & 003 * Note that we are working with the IOE department to open IOE 425 for MSCM students. For additional information please contact the MSCM program manager at rossmscm@umich.edu
    STRATEGY 503.001 & 004
    STRATEGY 681.002
    • MSCM students may *not* register for Finance courses as the elective in the Winter term, as Finance electives all require pre-requisite course work which you have not met.
       
  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 into classes. Check even if you are sure your statement is okay. We do not anticipate any concerns with your account but advise that you check this your status.
    2. If you do have a financial hold, clear your bills.
    3. Request Student Financial Operations or the cashier to lift your financial hold. This is not done automatically. Call 734-764-7447. Then notify Rossacadservices@umich.edu so that we can pre-register your core classes.
       
  4. Review the Schedule of Classes: The Winter 2009 Schedule of Classes is viewable 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 the Boot Camp activities which will be occurring this Winter term. Additionally, the MSCM program is a two-semester program with graduation expected in December 2009. Because of the careful sequencing of core, we do not have flexibility to allow part-time enrollment in this program.

II. Review Core Schedule: November 17 - December 9

  1. Review your core course schedule on Wolverine Access: In early November Academic Services will pre-register MSCM students into the core 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: December 10 - January 4 (return to top of page)

  1. Wednesday, December 10: Registration appointment times begin for newly admitted 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 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.
