SPRING 2009 PRE-REGISTRATION INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS

Web pre-registration appointments for the spring will be scheduled as shown below.  You will receive your appointment time and instructions from WCTS via email. If you mistakenly delete the email your appointment time and call number are also available through your QUACK account by clicking on "My Registration Time and Call Number". Pre-registration will be suspended for your class before the appointments for the next class begin, but will reopen for all students at 1 pm on Friday, November 14 and remain open until the end of the semester.

 ** Registration access will close at 12:01am  and open for those with registration appointments on the following day to maintain fairness.

Important Pre-registration Information

• Pre-registration times will be randomly assigned by your anticipated graduation date (watch for an email from WCTS).
• Make an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss your schedule of classes prior to your pre-registration time (see above). You received a copy of your Academic Evaluation in this packet, which may also be accessed on the web through your QUACK account, to use in planning your Spring 2009 schedule.
• Discuss your schedule at your advising meeting, complete the Schedule Worksheet included in this packet, and when your schedule has been planned, have your advisor give you web approval to pre-register.
• You will not be able to pre-register for a consent class without the instructor's web approval.
• You may change the number of credits of a variable credit class yourself on the web by clicking on the credit field and inserting the correct number of credits.
• If a class is closed, you may have the option to add your name to an electronic waitlist. For those classes without an electronic waitlist, contact the instructor directly.
• If you receive consent for a class but are still unable to add that class on the web, contact the Registrar's Office (MEM 208, registrar@whitman.edu or x5983) for assistance.
• To be pre-registered for any class time conflict, you must complete a Class Conflict Resolution form (available on the Registrar's web page or in the office) and obtain the signatures of BOTH instructors. You must pre- register for conflicting classes in the Registrar's Office (MEM 208).
• The most accurate listing of classes for Spring 2009 may be accessed via Search for Classes (under Toolbox on the Whitman Student Home Page at www.whitman.edu/students).
• Course descriptions for new classes not included in the printed 2008-09 College catalog may be accessed via the Registrar's Home Page (http://www.whitman.edu/registrar/), or the online catalog.
• A full time load at Whitman is 12 to 18 credits. For an academic overload:
  • If you are a continuing student wishing to take between 19 and 21 academic credits and have both cumulative and previous semester Whitman GPAs of ≥3.0, your academic advisor may give web overload approval prior to your pre-registration. Excess credits cannot be added to your schedule without this approval.
  • If either your cumulative or previous semester GPA is less than 3.0, or if you plan to register for 22 or more academic credits, you must submit a Petition to the Board of Review. These requests may be held until grades for the current semester have been processed. You may register for additional credits following Board of Review approval.
  • Note: Applied Music is academic credit, not activity credit.
