5 SECTION 1 ACADEMIC ADVISING ACADEMIC ADVISING MISSION STATEMENT The Office of Student Academic Affairs of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) recognizes that undergraduate students expect to receive a quality education in a quality environment. It is the role of Student Academic Affairs to assure that, in the continuum from admission through graduation, your individual educational needs are met while maintaining the academic standards established by the faculty of the College. As a primary source of College information, the staff of LAS Student Academic Affairs promotes and facilitates excellence through academic advising. We believe that our services should assist in maximizing the academic experience and student achievement in the expectation that you will become a lifelong learner and attain your career objectives. These services are provided with expertise, courtesy, and a positive attitude. BENEFITS OF A LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION Excerpt from the Association of American Colleges and Universities Pamphlet What is a Liberal Education?: A liberal education is an education that exposes students to a wide breadth of courses, perspectives, and educational experiences designed to equip them with the essential skills and learning necessary to thrive and succeed throughout their lives. A liberal education prepares students to deal with complexity, diversity and change, and entails study across many fields, as well as in-depth study in a specific area of interest. A liberal education helps students develop a strong sense of personal and social responsibility important in all spheres of life. LAS ACADEMIC ADVISING CENTER The LAS Academic Advising Center employs professional full-time academic advisors who serve as representatives of the Dean. LAS operates under a two tier academic advising model, meaning you will have multiple advising contacts to assist you in navigating your undergraduate academic career. You will start you undergraduate career with an assigned advisor whom you will work until graduation. Advising Center Location: 3 rd floor University Hall, 309 UH, 601 S. Morgan Street Hours: Monday Friday, 8:30 a.m. 4:30 p.m. Phone: (312) The LAS Academic Advising Center schedules appointments for current LAS students with their academic advisor. Please schedule all appointments carefully. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance, and if you are more than 15 minutes late for an appointment, you will need to reschedule. Moreover, if you miss a future appointment without notifying us in advance, you may be limited to only meeting with your LAS advisor during walk-in advising for a period of time. Role of a General Advisor General advisors are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to assist you on the University s graduation requirements, General Education requirements, academic policies, and completing academic procedures (ex: assisting students in dropping courses). You are welcome to meet with your general advisor as often as you would like. General advisors will make referrals to the appropriate professionals for specific major, minor, and pre-professional advising when necessary. Your advisor is located in the LAS Academic Advising Center and may be referred to interchangeably as a general advisor or an LAS academic advisor. Appointments: Monday, Wednesday Friday To schedule an appointment with your general advisor, please schedule your appointment online following the steps on page 26. Walk-ins: Every Tuesday fall and spring semesters, 8:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. Role of a Departmental/Major Advisor Departmental advisors are experts in your major area of study. They assist you in outlining the specific requirements for the major, key course sequencing, mapping out plans for completing these requirements, and general information about related career options. Because departmental advisors focus more specifically on major requirements,you are still expected to make contact with your general advisor regarding your academic progress and for a thorough DARS review of LAS degree requirements. Departmental advisors are located within their respective departments across campus. For contact information, including the location of your major advisor, please see Section 10 on page Appointment and walk-in times vary. Please see page 26 for information about how to schedule your advising appointment online. Transfer/Readmit Academic Guide Fall

6 Role of a Pre-Professional Advisor Pre-professional advisors are available to assist students who are pursuing a pre-professional interest, such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law, etc. Pre-professional advisors encourage and support students in evaluating strengths and weaknesses, life goals, and their intended career path within individual meetings, small group workshops, and large lecture sessions. Students will be guided in the incorporation of prerequisite coursework alongside bachelor s degree requirements to enhance their professional credentials and expand future career possibilities. Students with professional school aspirations should continue to work with their general and departmental advisors as they navigate their requirements toward graduation. Pre-professional advisors are located in the LAS Academic Advising Center. Appointments: Monday, Wednesday Friday Students with sophomore standing and higher may schedule an appointment with a pre-professional advisor. Please see page 26 for information about how to schedule your advising appointment online.

Proficiency in academic writing and quantitative reasoning is essential to success in all degree programs and you should enroll in those courses until the requirements have been satisfied. UNIVERSITY & COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS Foreign Language REQUIREMENT Four semesters of a single collegelevel Foreign Language (or equivalent) TYPICAL HOURS 0 16 Quantitative Reasoning One course 3 5 University Writing Requirement ENGL 160 and GENERAL EDUCATION CORE REQUIREMENT TYPICAL HOURS Analyzing the Natural World Two laboratory courses 6 10 Exploring World Cultures One course 3 Understanding the Creative Arts One course 3 Understanding the Individual and Society One course 3 Understanding U.S. Society One course 3 Understanding the Past One course 3 Two General Education Electives Two courses 6 Notes: Up to two courses from the major can be used towards the General Education Core. If a course is listed in more than one category, you have the flexibility to decide which category the course will satisfy. Transfer/Readmit Academic Guide Fall

8 MAJORS Majors provide in-depth focus on a specific area within a department or interdisciplinary area and are required for graduation. Majors must be declared no later than the end of your sophomore year (60 credit hours). To declare a major, visit the office of the department offering the major and complete a major declaration form. See pages for department contact information. If you are interested in declaring a major in an area that is outside of LAS, an inter-college transfer would be required. Please consult your LAS advisor to discuss your goals and the procedures necessary to complete the inter-college transfer process. Choosing a major and choosing a career is not necessarily the same thing. Selecting a major really means you are dedicating yourself to an area of study that will give you a unique background and skill set. The choice of major should be based primarily on your sense of what you would enjoy learning and what type of academic activities will bring out your best work. If you select a field based on those personal factors, a career path related to that choice is most likely to lead to success and personal satisfaction. While your major does not guarantee your future career opportunities, it does point you in a certain direction. It will be up to you to open doors and chart your own path to success. It is important that you reflect on how you can use your knowledge and skills honed at UIC in your professional life after LAS. There are many avenues for you to pursue with your LAS degree and many LAS alumni pursue careers that are quite different than their formal academic study. There are many resources at UIC to help you decide on a major, such as: General and major/departmental academic advisors Departmental websites Pre-professional workshops Choosing a Major workshops offered jointly by LAS and Career Services Career development groups offered by Career Services Career Services Resource Library Career Link Inventory Career Services Planning Guide FOCUS 2 offered by Career Services ifit- Finding Your Fit Workshops offered by Career Services Pre-law advising Pre-law website: Pre-health advisors Pre-health website: The LAS Career Development webpage (las.uic.edu/careerdevelopment) provides extensive information and links to the various resources to assist you through your decision making process. If you have questions regarding the career development process, please feel free to careerdevelopment@las.uic.edu. You are also encouraged to participate in career development activities such as internships, undergraduate research, work experience, campus involvement, volunteering, community service, and networking through job shadowing and informational interviews with a variety of professionals. Once you have decided on a major, it is recommended that you see your department advisor every semester. Make an appointment with your major advisor to discuss course selection and progress in your major courses, long-term planning, and enrichment opportunities such as research or internships. The contact information for each department is listed on the LAS website at and on pages Transfer/Readmit Academic Guide Fall 2015

9 MINORS Minors are optional and are not required for graduation. Minors may be declared either in the department offering the minor or in the LAS Academic Advising Center. At least half of the hours required for a minor must be completed at UIC; see the Undergraduate Catalog for further minor requirements. Minor advising occurs in the department; make an appointment with the department advisor to discuss course selection and progress in completing minor requirements. ELECTIVES Electives are the remaining courses needed to fulfill credit hour requirements (minimum 120 credit hours required to complete an LAS degree) in addition to the General Education and major requirements. Elective courses will be different for each student and these courses can often be used for a minor, pre-professional course requirements, a second major, or individual courses of interest. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Minimum grade point average (GPA) is 2.00/4.00 To be in good standing, you must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0, which is a C average. An overall UIC GPA of at least C (2.0/4.0) on course work taken at UIC is required for completion of an undergraduate degree. Secondary Education majors have higher GPA requirements, ranging from 2.5/4.0 to 3.0/4.0 depending on major. Honors If your semester GPA is above a 3.5 on at least 12 credit-bearing hours you will be placed on the Dean s List and acknowledged for your academic success. You may not receive a No Credit (NC), Not Recorded Grade (NR), Incomplete (I) or Unsatisfactory (U) grade in any course to qualify for this distinction. Probation If your semester or overall UIC GPA falls below a 2.0 you will be placed on academic probation or dismissed from the University. Dismissal You can be dismissed without a warning, including at the end of your first semester. If you have concerns about your classes or your grades, please see your LAS academic advisor. CREDIT/SEMESTER HOURS A semester hour is the University s unit of academic credit. For each semester hour, you will typically spend 50 minutes in the classroom. Most courses are three credit hours but many science or math courses are four or five credit hours because they have required discussion or lab components. 120 credit/semester hours are required for graduation from LAS.

10 COURSE NUMBERING Courses Numbered Do not carry academic credit but meet special program requirements. These courses carry semester hours that do not count toward the total hours required for graduation, but do count in the calculation of tuition, toward fullor part-time enrollment status, and Financial Aid eligibility. Grades for these courses are Satisfactory (S)/ Unsatisfactory (U), and are not calculated into the GPA. Are open to all undergraduate students. These are introductory courses generally appropriate for first-year college students Are intended for sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have completed the 100-level prerequisites Are generally intended for juniors and seniors. Sophomores may register for them if they have completed prerequisites Are intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Note that some 400-level courses listed in the Undergraduate Catalog and Schedule of Classes have sections (CRNs) with differential credit (i.e., one CRN is offered for 3 semester hours for undergraduate students and one CRN is offered for 4 semester hours for graduate students); undergraduate students who enroll in a 400-level course should enroll in the designated, lower-credit-level CRN. COURSE PREREQUISITES Prerequisites are the course(s) you must take before taking another course or the appropriate score on a placement test, either of which demonstrates that you are academically prepared to be successful in the course. If you enroll in a course without having met the prerequisites you may be withdrawn from the course without prior notification. Course prerequisites are listed in both the Course Descriptions section of the catalog and the Schedule of Classes in my.uic.edu. Warning: Registration in a course without meeting prerequisites does not imply approval of the registration. It is your responsibility to check prerequisites prior to registering. RETROACTIVE CREDITS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE If you place into the 104 or higher level of a foreign language taught at UIC as the result of the UIC administered placement tests, you may receive academic proficiency credits for prerequisite courses. The complete policy is available online at If you meet all requirements and earn an A or B in the course in which you have placed, you may initiate the request for credits from your academic advisor in the LAS Academic Advising Center. CREDIT/NO CREDIT OPTION Credit/no credit allows you to complete a course with a grade of credit (CR) or no credit (NC) instead of a letter grade. Courses completed with a grade of CR carry credit and apply toward degree requirements. Grades of CR and NC are final and cannot be changed to letter grades. You must be in good standing to elect to take a course under the credit/no credit option. Students on probation and those whose status is undetermined at the time at which they request the option are not eligible. In your first semester at UIC you may not use this option. You must apply to take a course credit/no credit with your LAS academic advisor in the LAS Academic Advising Center, no later than the tenth day of the term (first Wednesday of Summer Session 1 or first Friday of Summer Session 2). After that date, you may not request courses on a credit/no credit basis, nor may you change a credit/no credit request previously submitted. Only elective courses are eligible for credit/no credit. The policy is available at catalog/la.shtml#o. If you have questions concerning your eligibility, please meet with your LAS academic advisor. 6 Transfer/Readmit Academic Guide Fall 2015

11 REPEAT POLICY FOR STANDARD GRADED COURSES You should consult your LAS academic advisor before repeating a course. In LAS, courses with A, B or C grades may not be repeated. Courses with D or F grades may be repeated once without written permission. In all cases, the original grade for the course and the grade for each repeat will appear on the transcript. The original grade will be calculated into the GPA, unless you initiate a request for Repeating a Course with Grade Point Average Recalculation as described below. Only one registration for the course counts toward the total number of credits required for graduation. A course cannot be repeated after receiving credit in a course for which the repeat course is a prerequisite. To repeat a course more than once requires written permission from your LAS academic advisor, and certain courses may not be repeated. Students who have been dismissed may not appeal on the grounds of intention to repeat courses. The policy is available at (scroll down to Repeat Policy for Standard Graded Courses). REPEATING A COURSE WITH GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) RECALCULATION Important Note: Grade point average recalculation for a repeated course is not automatic. You must initiate a request with your academic advisor in the LAS Academic Advising Center as outlined below. The GPA recalculation policy only applies toward original earned grades of a D or F and does not apply to courses failed as a result of a student conduct hearing. For the GPA recalculation policy to apply, you must request to repeat a course for GPA Recalculation from your academic advisor in the LAS Academic Advising Center. You must submit this request before the end of the official add/drop period (no later than the second Friday of the fall and spring semesters, the first Wednesday of Summer Session 1, or the first Friday of Summer Session 2). The course must be repeated within three semesters of the receipt of the original grade, and it must be taken at UIC. Only one registration for the course counts toward the total number of credits required for graduation. You are allowed GPA recalculation in up to four repeated courses. Under the course repeat policy, all courses taken and their grades appear on the transcript in the semester in which they were taken. Under the GPA recalculation policy, the grade earned the first time the course is taken will be removed from the calculation of the cumulative GPA and the grade(s) earned when the course is repeated will be used in the calculation. This rule holds, even if the second grade is lower than the first. If a course is repeated more than once, the first grade is not counted in the GPA, but all other grades for that course are calculated in the cumulative GPA. This policy is available at (scroll down to Repeating a Course with Grade Point Average Recalculation.) BACKTRACKING Credit for prerequisite courses will not be granted if prerequisite courses are taken after advanced course work in the same area. For example, you may not take (or repeat) CHEM 112 after earning a grade of C or higher in CHEM 114, CHEM 232, CHEM 233 or CHEM 234. If you have any questions concerning the policy please make an appointment with your LAS academic advisor. Transfer/Readmit Academic Guide Fall

12 SECTION 3 PRE-PROFESSIONAL EDUCATIONAL GOALS In addition to having a major, you may choose to pursue an educational goal in a pre-professional field. Pre-professional educational goals are NOT majors in LAS. The various professional programs often require specific coursework be completed prior to applying; most programs require a bachelor s degree prior to admission.you can often satisfy prerequisites for pre-professional programs with General Education and/or major requirements for a degree in LAS. To be a competitive applicant, you should maintain a high GPA each semester. Pre-professional advisors are available to assist you in selecting coursework to fulfill educational goals. Additionally, informational handouts for many of the pre-professional programs listed below can be found in the LAS Academic Advising Center on the 3rd Floor of University Hall. If you are interested in a pre-health field, you should add an educational goal to ensure that you receive pertinent information applicable to your area of interest. This can be done on the LAS pre-health website under the educational goal link. Pre-law educational goals can be added on the pre-law website using the educational goal link on the left. LAS offers tracks for the following educational goals: Pre-health: Pre-dentistry Pre-health information management Pre-human nutrition Pre-medicine Pre-nursing Pre-occupational therapy Pre-pharmacy Pre-physical therapy Pre-public health Pre-veterinary medicine Other pre-professional fields: Pre-law Other pre-health areas: If you desire to pursue optometry, physician assistant studies, or podiatry you should declare pre-medicine as your educational goal and consult an LAS pre-health advisor for information on other course requirements. Pre-health advisors are knowledgeable concerning a number of other health careers and are happy to discuss various options and interests with you. PRE-PROFESSIONAL ADVISING SERVICES Location: LAS Academic Advising Center, 3rd floor of University Hall Individual Appointments: Available for LAS students at sophomore standing or higher: Monday, Wednesday Friday.

13 GENERAL PRE-HEALTH ADVISING INFORMATION LAS pre-health advising office offers the following services to assist you in preparing for health professional school. Individual Appointments: You can discuss application readiness and timeline, experiences, GPAs, entrance exam preparation, and other topics in an individual appointment. Workshops and Information Sessions: Various workshops are offered each semester. Please check the pre-health website for information regarding all workshops. Personal Statements: You are welcome to submit a final draft of your personal statement for review by at least two pre-health advisors. You can expect to receive feedback via or by appointment within one week of your submission. Personal statement review requests are submitted via the pre-health website. Mock Interviews: If you have received a formal invitation to interview with a professional school you may request a mock interview with the pre-health advisors. Mock interview requests are submitted via the pre-health website. Letters of Recommendation: Information regarding letters of recommendation can be found on the pre-health website under Letters of Recommendation. Resources Available to Borrow: You may request to borrow various books and resources through our office, such as standardized exam preparation materials, information books on allopathic and osteopathic medical colleges, as well as podiatry and chiropractic schools, ADEA Official Guide to Dental Schools, and many others. Please contact us via the pre-health for a full list of available resources and if you wish to borrow any of these items. Materials are available for you to borrow for two weeks at a time. Choosing a Major You should major in a subject area of personal interest. Many pre-health students pursue science majors based on interest in the scientific field while completing their professional program prerequisite coursework. Students pursuing non-science majors would find it advantageous to take additional science courses beyond the prerequisites to demonstrate science abilities. If you have interests in areas outside the sciences, your undergraduate years will be the most opportune time to study disciplines not taught in professional school. The most common undergraduate major for students who matriculate to medical school is Biological Sciences. However, there is not a correlation between any specific undergraduate major and likelihood of admittance to medical school. Coursework Taken Outside of UIC Many students inquire about taking a class at another institution during the summer months or during the school year. Students are encouraged to ask themselves the following question: What is your primary motivation for taking a class outside of your undergraduate institution? It is important that you are able to respond with an answer to this question should you be asked. Common considerations for taking courses at community colleges include your financial situation, the reputation of a course being easier, continuation of a sequence already started, and proximity to your home. Common courses taken at community colleges include general education requirements for a degree at UIC or non-science prerequisites. It is recommended that you keep sequential science courses at the same institution to ensure all topics will be covered before the next course is taken. Exploring Healthcare Professions Many students come to UIC with interest in the health sciences. Your desire may have come from personal experiences and interests. You may want a health career for the potential job security it could offer, a desire to serve humanity, hope for a well-paying career, or love of scientific study and discovery. There are many reasons, many of which are very personal. Regardless of your motivation, it is helpful to think about and consider a number of different professions. You should evaluate different careers along side of your own abilities, interests and strengths. Choosing a career should be more of a process, not just a singular decision made at once. Websites to help you explore healthcare professions: Explore Health Careers: Occupational Outlook Handbook: You are also encouraged to shadow healthcare professionals. Shadowing can be one of the best sources for gathering information and gaining knowledge in your field of interest. Through shadowing, students will be able to talk to and spend time with professionals working in the field. Shadowing can demonstrate that students have taken the time to investigate the career and make sure that it is a good fit. It is helpful to shadow several individuals in a variety of healthcare settings. The LAS pre-health advisors are also available to assist you in evaluating if a particular career or field is suitable to your interests, abilities and personal goals. Transfer/Readmit Academic Guide Fall

14 Enrichment Opportunities It is recommended that all students with a pre-health interest become involved with various activities outside of the classroom. You should choose your extracurricular activities based upon your interests. There are many ways for you to gain valuable experiences to help determine if a healthcare profession is what you want to pursue. Volunteering in a healthcare setting offers you an opportunity to comfort those in need, make a difference in the community, network with other students and professionals, and improve necessary skills for being a successful healthcare provider such as communication and interpersonal skills. You are encouraged to get exposure in a diverse array of healthcare fields and should choose opportunities and experiences based on your unique interests, abilities, and qualifications. Various hospitals offer programs that will assist in gaining exposure to the healthcare environment. Non-healthcare related experiences are just as important as healthcare experiences. Non-healthcare experiences allow you to gain valuable skills that would make you a successful healthcare provider. Experiences in community service, for example, help demonstrate your commitment to serving others as well as the ability to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Other opportunities students become involved in include research, paid employment, student organizations, study abroad, internships, and many more activities. Resources are available at the LAS Academic Advising Center to help you research various enrichment opportunities. You can also find extensive resources on the LAS pre-health website. PRE-HEALTH EDUCATIONAL GOALS AND PREREQUISITES The coursework listed below and on the following pages provides the current prerequisite courses required for admission to the various pre-health professional programs offered at UIC. You must adhere to your placement test results for appropriate course registration. You must meet all prerequisites for courses in which you enroll. (Ex: CHEM 101 is the prerequisite for CHEM 112 or placement into CHEM 112 by the placement exam). Pre-Dentistry Students planning to apply to the UIC College of Dentistry must complete the following prerequisite courses as well as a bachelor s degree before entering dental school. You should choose a major based upon your interests and can discuss possibilities with a pre-health advisor. Other dental schools in the US have the same, if not similar prerequisites. You are responsible for ensuring you have met all prerequisites before application and/or enrollment to any program. All prerequisite coursework must be completed with a grade of C or better. ENGL 160, 161 (English Composition) CHEM 112, 114 (General Chemistry) CHEM 232, 233* (Organic Chemistry) BIOS 100, 101 (General Biology) PHYS 105/106, 107/108 (Physics I & II) Highest consideration given to students who have taken at least 3 upper-level (200 and above) science courses. Biochemistry is recommended. Some dental schools require a course in Anatomy and Physiology. *Organic Chemistry II (CHEM 234) is recommended and required by most other dental schools. Note: AP or ACT credit cannot be accepted for UIC pre-dental requirements. If basic-level biological sciences, chemistry and physics course requirements are satisfied with AP credit, you must then take the equivalent number of credit hours in each area from upper-level science courses. You are responsible for completing all necessary prerequisite courses for advanced-level course work. You may also opt to repeat the courses to which AP credit was granted. Credit for such courses will only be awarded once. UIC College of Dentistry: dentistry.uic.edu. American Dental Education Association: 10 Transfer/Readmit Academic Guide Fall 2015

Reinstatement does not put you back in courses for which you were previously registered; it simply allows you to register for whatever is still available at that time. 42 Transfer/Readmit Academic Guide Fall 2015

47 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (continued) 8. Why do I have a hold on my account? You may have holds for a variety of reasons, including failure to provide immunization records, owing the university money, being on probation, failure to send transcripts from college work completed elsewhere, failure to declare a major by 60 credit hours, etc. Please contact the office placing the hold in order to resolve it prior to your registration time. Many types of holds prevent you from registering for classes. Having a hold will NOT prevent you from dropping classes or withdrawing from the university. 9. How do I transfer colleges? If you are changing majors from one in LAS to one in another college at UIC, this will require an inter-college transfer. Guidelines on how to transfer from LAS to other colleges at UIC are listed in the undergraduate catalog, and are specific to each college. Contact the college in which you are interested or your LAS academic advisor to find out more about the process. 10. If I don t enroll, do I need to reapply to UIC to come here next semester? If you choose not to attend in the first semester to which you have been admitted to UIC, you must reapply to the university if you wish to come here in a future semester. Re-admission is not guaranteed. 11. If I decide not to attend UIC, what do I need to do? If you have already registered for classes at UIC and decide not to attend, you must cancel your registration prior to the 10th day of class in fall or spring. See question 5 on page 42. If you do not cancel your registration, you will earn Fs in your courses and still owe tuition and fees. Non-attendance does not cancel your registration. 12. What is departmental approval? How do I get approval to take a course? On occasion, registration for a course is restricted by the department offering the course. In this case, if you have met the prerequisites, you may contact the department offering the course to request an override to allow you to register for the course. Department contact information is listed in this guide on pages Can I take online classes? Perhaps. Please consult your LAS academic advisor to discuss this option. 14. How do I get my placement test results? See page 16 for instructions. Placement test results are also shared at Orientation. 15. What is the procedure to get transfer work on my UIC record? Send transcripts of all college-level work to UIC s Office of Admissions and Records. Office of Admissions and Records (MC 018) University of Illinois at Chicago 1200 W Harrison Street, Ste 1100 SSB Chicago, IL Can I choose which classes go on my UIC record? No. All college-level work must be sent to UIC and are part of your UIC academic record. 17. How do I get my AP credit to show up on my transcript? You must request the College Board to send your scores directly to UIC. To order grade reports to be sent to UIC, call (888) Are there internship programs? Yes, the LAS Internship Program office is located in 521 University Hall. The office assists you in finding paid or unpaid career-related internship opportunities. To be eligible you must have earned a minimum of 45 credit hours and have a minimum GPA of 2.5. In addition, as a transfer student, you must earn a minimum of 12 UIC credit hours to intern for graduation credit. You may qualify to earn college credit for your internship, either in your major or as elective credit. For more information go to You may schedule an appointment online. Transfer/Readmit Academic Guide Fall

48 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (continued) 19. Can I earn credit at a community college? As part of the LAS degree requirements, all students must satisfy the 60-Hour Requirement which states that 60 credit hours are required at a 4-year institution after the student reaches junior standing. This means that credits 1 60 can be earned from a 2-year college. Once a student has earned the 60 th credit, however, no further credits from a 2-year college will be used to satisfy this specific requirement. It is recommended that you meet with your LAS academic advisor to verify the transferability of coursework prior to registering, and the applicability toward your degree. It is not recommended to take a course that is part of a sequence (for example, math, science, or foreign language) at another school. To look up course equivalency, go to How do I look up course equivalencies in Transferology? Transferology is a free, web-based source for obtaining accurate information about how your courses will transfer. Go to Step 1: Click sign in in the top right corner. Step 2: Create an account; enter your name, , and a password; click Create an account. Step 3: Sign in to your account. Step 4: Click on the Find a Replacement Course tab in the upper right hand corner. Step 5: Enter the full name of the institution you currently attend into the School You Currently Attend box (ex. University of Illinois Chicago, do not just enter UIC ). Step 6: Enter the department of the course you wish to take (ex. Biological Sciences, History, etc.). This should open a course list. Step 7: Select the course(s) for which you want to find an equivalent by clicking the green + sign to the right of the courses credit hour (ex. MATH 180 ). Step 8: Repeat steps 6-7 for multiple departments, as needed. Step 9: Once you have finished selecting your courses click Search for Matches in the upper right corner. Step 10: A list of institutions that have an equivalent to your selected course(s) will appear. Scroll through the list to view all possible options or use the Filter by school or city name box to indicate the specific institution for which you are looking. Step 11: The blue box to the left of each institution will tell you the number of course matches that institution has. Step 12: Click on the blue box associated with the institution you want to attend. Step 13: View the listed equivalent and confirm your course selection with your LAS academic advisor. 21. What are important dates I should mark on my calendar for Fall 2015? August 24, Instruction begins. August 28, Last day to add ENGL 160 or 161 or switch sections for composition classes. September 4, Last day to complete late registration; last day to add a course(s) or make section changes; last day to drop individual courses via Student Self-Service without receiving W (Withdrawn) grade on academic record; last day to submit Withdraw from Term request via Student Self-Service and receive 100% cancellation of tuition and fees.
