Advance Program Filing: Important Information and Overview

Some important information and reminders about advance program planning for Spring 2012:

For a quick refresher about program filing, read over the instructions on the Registrar's website.

Starting today, you are able to add Spring 2012 courses to your advance program if they are open-enrollment courses (i.e., if they do not have a maximum capacity noted in the online Directory of Courses).

As you add courses, pay attention to your “Comments and Reminders” box to see if there are extra steps to take in order to reserve your place in a particular course.

During the week of November 14, L-course sign-up will become available to you based on your class year: first-years will have appointment times to sign up for L-courses beginning on Thursday, November 17. Note: you can find information on L-course sign-up procedures here, and you can already see your L-course sign-up appointment times on your Spring 2012 eBear page.

Remember to have a few back-up classes in mind in case spaces are hard to reserve in some of your first choices. You must have a minimum of 12 points of credit on your advance program for Spring 2012.

The deadline to have a planned program on eBear, and to have your adviser's approval entered online, is MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, AT 6:00 P.M. You are expected to meet with your adviser at least once before the filing deadline to discuss your plan for the spring semester. Make sure that you are aware of your adviser's schedule so that you meet in plenty of time to receive approval before the deadline.
