Advising New Students (January admits)

Students admitted for the Spring 2013 semester will meet with their advisers on Friday, January 11.  They will already have completed Web Check-in and pre-registration. Advisers MUST grant electronic consent for these students to make changes to their schedule. These students will not be assigned an appointment time so they are welcome to visit the Registrar's Office at any time on Friday and we will assist them with schedule changes.

Instructor Course Consent

Students trying to add a consent or closed course on the Web will need electronic instructor consent.  You may access this clearance utility through my.whitman.edu (see portal instruction sheet).

REMIND students that they must follow the instructions EXACTLY as they are written in the automated email confirming consent to have the Registrar's Office add the course for them.  The student WILL NOT be able to add the class themselves.

Academic Overload approval

Requirements for students to enroll in an academic overload are as follows:

• Students must have a 3.50 or higher cumulative GPA.
• Students must have a 3.50 or higher previous semester's GPA in courses completed at Whitman.
• Students must obtain signatures of support from all instructors of the courses they completed the previous semester at Whitman on an Academic Overload Form. The form is available on the Registrar's web page at http://www.whitman.edu/content/registrar/students/forms.
• Students must submit the Academic Overload Form, signed by their adviser and previous semester's instructors, to the Registrar's Office for final approval.
• Requests for more than 18 academic credits that do not meet the above criteria will be reviewed by the Board of Review and consent will be granted only in truly exceptional circumstances in which there is exigent need to take an academic overload (such as the need to graduate).
