Students are permitted to add a course in progress during the first two days of a block. They may drop a courses through 5:00 p.m. Tuesday of the second week of each course. The Half-Block may be dropped by Thursday at 5:00 p.m. Students should be aware, however, that adding a course after the first two days of the block will be difficult or impossible so that credit for the block will be lost if the course is dropped after the first two days. They may add or drop courses to be taken in future blocks at any time prior to the beginning of those courses. Exceptions to the procedure must be authorized by a dean and affected professors. Dropping a course without authorization automatically results in a grade of No Credit. One of the primary goals of the Block Plan is to provide a framework within which students may devote all of their formal academic efforts to one course. Thus, it is not possible to register for more than one principal course during a block. However, students may also enroll in a maximum of three adjunct courses and a maximum of 1/2 unit of extended format courses per semester. Students may also take a maximum of 1/2 unit during the January half block. Unapproved overloads result in a loss of credit. During the freshman or sophomore year, students are urged to consult with the department in which they wish to major in order to determine an appropriate schedule. To allow students ample time to pursue a sound course of study in their major, students must declare the major before registration for their junior year. However, they may change their major at any time. |
