An online schedule of classes for the Spring 2009 semester will be available for students on or before October 17, 2008. Scheduling will begin on Monday, October 27, 2008. Please see scheduling timetable to view when you can begin scheduling.

Fall 2008 New Freshmen Students - Spring 2009 schedules for Fall 2008 New Freshmen will be prepared by the Registrar's Office and will be available on STINF. New Freshmen will be block scheduled for approximately 12 credits based upon recommended courses submitted by departments within the college. You will have the ability to add another course during the appropriate time period allotted for credits earned scheduling. Students must consult an academic advisor to make changes to the courses that are block scheduled.

Spring Incoming Students and those students admitted as Summer/January will be block scheduled for 15 credit hours. Only your academic advisor can drop a course that is block scheduled.

Undergraduate degree students begin scheduling by consulting with advisors. Some academic departments and advisors may require advisees to seek advice before scheduling. If so, Advisement HOLDS may be placed on the students' records. All HOLDS must be removed before the student may begin scheduling.

Students enrolled for the Fall Semester 2008 may enter their schedules for the Spring Semester 2009 using STINF according to the number of "scheduling credits" in the timetable. The timetable link is on Office of the Registrar Homepage. Only the earliest times students may schedule are given. Students may schedule any time on or after the times given. Students with classes at their scheduling times must attend class first, then schedule. There will be no exceptions for early scheduling access.

Scheduling credits include credits earned to date (excluding credits being attempted for the Fall Semester 2008). Note: Students withdrawing during the Fall Semester 2008 and those graduating in December 2008 must follow the scheduling procedures for new degree students.

HOLDS - Administrative - Administrative departments may place "administrative HOLDS" on student records. If an "administrative HOLD" has been placed on your records, you will need to have the HOLD removed before you may schedule. Contact the office placing the HOLD for specifics.

HOLDS - Advisement - Academic departments and/or advisors may place "advisement HOLDS" on student records. If an "advisement HOLD" has been placed on your records, you will need to have the HOLD removed before you will be permitted to schedule. Students falling below a 2.00 QPA will have advisement HOLDS placed automatically. Contact your advisor and/or academic department for specifics of the HOLD and how it may be released.

New Students Spring 2009

New Degree Students - A new degree student is any student officially accepted by the Admissions Office for the Spring Semester 2009. Advance deposit fees must be paid before any class scheduling may begin.

New degree students include:

- new freshmen
- transfers
- readmitted students
- return from leave of absence students
- new second bachelor's degree students

Students previously enrolled in a non-degree program and accepted for degree admission for the Spring Semester 2009 are included in one of the above categories.

Transfer, Readmitted, Return from Leave and Second Degree Students - New transfer, readmitted, return from leave and second degree students must see their advisors first to schedule for the Spring Semester 2009. The advisor or department chairperson will enter a schedule for these students using the Faculty Information System.

These new students should schedule as soon as possible after advanced deposit fee payment has been acknowledged by the Admissions Office to assure classes of their choice.
