Program Planning and Approvals
Students in LAS are treated as adults and are thus responsible for their own academic program. This responsibility includes adhering to deadlines, following proper procedures, and satisfying LAS and University expectations regarding required courses, normal course loads, and progress toward degree.
Despite this emphasis on individual responsibility, there are the instances in which approvals are required before a student may enroll in courses.
General Advising Expectations
- Entering freshmen and transfer students participating in summer registration are advised by a staff of LAS professional, faculty, and graduate assistant academic advisors as well as by regularly designated departmental advisors.
- Once students achieve sophomore standing (30 credits), most are authorized to complete their own course transactions, except for the credit/no credit option. This practice allows for convenience, efficiency, and flexibility of student choice. But the "self-authorization" extended to students at registration is not meant to imply "self-advising." All students are encouraged to consult with their advisors and the college staff.
