Changing Courses
Advisor: Good afternoon, Jeff Montgomery speaking.
Student: Hello, I am Freida Redfern. I signed up for a course in romantic poetry, but I don"t want to take it. I"ve changed my mind about doing a minor in English literature. I want to take a course in music appreciation instead.
Advisor: If you need to change your course registration, you can download Form 6316 from the Forms Section on the right-hand side of the homepage of the university website or pick the form up in person from Room 10 on the ground floor of the Smiley Building. You must complete all sections, and then get the signature of the professor for the poetry course and the signature of the professor for the course you want to take. Finally, the back of the form must be signed by the Dean of the Faculty of Arts.
Student: How long do I have to do this?
Advisor: You must make the change within two weeks of the start date. Form 6316 must be in the Registrar"s office no later than 14 days from the first day of class. You cannot drop a course if assignments have been handed in, or labs have started or if examinations have been written.
Student: Do I get refunded for the poetry course and then pay for the music course?
Advisor: No, the fees you paid for the poetry course will automatically be applied to the new course. If there is a discrepancy in the number of course hours and hence, the price of the course, you will be billed accordingly by the Registrar within five working days.
Student: Can I get a retired for the textbooks for the poetry course?
Advisor: No, you would have to sell it privately or speak to the bookstore about a partial refund.
Student: How can I get more information on doing a minor in Music?
Advisor: You need to contact the Music Department advisor. In some cases, you also need an interview with the Dean.
Student: Is Music Appreciation 310 full or do you think I can get into it?
Advisor: You must contact the Music Department directly. The Music advisor can be contacted at 387 8126. It is a very popular course so you should make sure you can enroll in it before you withdraw from the poetry course. You may find it difficult to find courses with empty seats to get into at this late date.
Student: Would it be better if I went to the Music Department in person?
Advisor: It shouldn"t make much difference. Music Appreciation 310 can take 40 students. If the course is full, you can try speaking to the professor directly explaining why you want to get into the course, but it probably won"t make any difference.
Student: Where would I find the instructor?
Advisor: You would have to find out who is teaching the course, and then check the music building directory to find the office room number to find out his or her office hours. All professors are required to post office hours on their door.
Student: Thanks for your help.
Advisor: You"re welcome. Good luck with the change.
