Information for Spring 2010 Advising/Enrollment

It is that time of the semester when you should be thinking about your schedule for the Spring 2010 semester, and we in KU Undergraduate Biology (KUUB) are making preparations to help you with your questions and concerns.  Advising in KUUB starts Monday, 19 October, and continues through Friday, 6 November.

NOW is the time to make contact with your advisor and set up an appointment. Current KUUB advisor contact information is available at http://www.kuub.ku.edu/~kuub/cgi-bin/advising.shtml .  It is important that you visit this web site if you do not already have a biology advisor.  This site contains lists of faculty advisors divided into biology categories so that you can find an advisor who fits your particular biological interest (there is even a list if you are undeclared but would like to pursue a biology degree).

Beginning enrollment dates are:

• Seniors – October 27
• Juniors – October 30
• Sophomores – November 4
• Freshmen – November 10
• Non–degree – November 17

Please note that you will need to clear all holds before you will be able to enroll (holds can be viewed through KU portal).  Freshman will have advising holds placed on their enrollment.  Freshman advising holds can be removed in 2045 Haworth Hall (1:00-1:30 PM on most days) after you have met with a biology advisor.

Students with more that 30 credit hours who have not declared their major will have a Non-declared Major hold on their enrollment.  Students must declare a major before they will be able to enroll.  Declaration of Major forms must be signed by Greg Burg in 2019 Haworth. You can get blank forms in 2045 Haworth Hall between 8:00 am – 5:00 pm on most days.

Prerequisites for the following biology courses will be checked at the time of on-line enrollment.  Students will not be able to enroll in these courses unless they have (or are currently enrolled in) the necessary prerequisite courses.  Please e-mail Greg Burg (gburg@ku.edu) to have transfer courses evaluated as possible prerequisite courses prior to requesting enrollment permission numbers.
