- Advising Holds and Registration
-
Each student who has declared a major in the Department of Computer
Science is assigned an advisor. Freshman typically declare a
"prospective" major are assigned to the Freshman advisor (me,
usually). In an effort to ensure students completing their studies
in a timely fashion, the department places an advising hold
on student registration every semester. Students are
required to meet with the advisor to have the hold removed. Thus,
each semester prior to registration, students should:
- select the courses they believe to be appropriate
- set up an appointment with their advisor (about a week before
the scheduled registration time)
- show up at the appointment with the planned schedule for the
next semester and with their degree audit.
- Declaration of Major
-
Students who enter UNI without prior college experience and indicate
a desire to major in computer science (or computer information
systems) are listed as prospective majors. In their second semester
they are allowed to officially declare a major. Transfer students
complete a Declaration of Major form when they initially register.
Individual graduation requirements are set at the time the
declaration of major form is completed and filed!
- Curriculum Revision Implications
-
UNI has a two-year curriculum cycle. Generally, that means that we
can only change courses or graduation requirements every two years.
A change in graduation requirements means that a student who has
declared a major can choose the requirements set when they
previously declared the major or the new requirements. To change to
the new requirements, just submit a new Declaration of Major Form.
You may wish to consult your advisor before doing so. You cannot
go back to old requirements once you submit the form.
