91重口

You will meet virtually with an academic advisor prior to your arrival to campus. 听Your听academic advisor听will help you determine which classes you should take. 听 Academic advisors are well prepared to advise students in all areas of study at 91重口.

At the end of this tutorial, you will complete a questionnaire. Your academic advisor will use that information to contact you and schedule a virtual advising appointment.

After you have registered for classes, you can purchase books and other course materials. 听There is a link to the bookstore information at the end of the tutorial.

Absolutely not! If you do, that’s fine. If you don’t, that鈥檚 fine too. You will be encouraged to explore听91重口’s majors听during your first year. You may have some major area of study in mind, however, there is a chance you are not familiar with some of the majors 91重口 offers. We want you to take some time during your first year to discover what we offer and determine which program best suits your academic goals. You won’t do this alone; our Advising Program is designed to provide you with structure and support throughout this process.

Note:听If you decide to change the major that is currently listed on your I-20 or DS-2019, you will need to inform the Center for Global Education of the change so they can update your SEVIS record with the new major.

A course prerequisite is any class you need to complete before taking another course. This ensures you have a solid base of knowledge and skills in certain classes prior to registering for them.

For example, SPAN 101: First Semester Spanish is the prerequisite for SPAN 102: Second Semester Spanish.

Not all courses have prerequisites; your academic advisor will assist you in knowing how to identify which courses do.

English Placement: 听You will听not听need to take an English placement exam.听听

Math Placement:听
Most degree-seeking international students need to take a math placement exam.听
These exams are used to determine which math course matches your current skill level. This is required information for your course registration. If you need to take a math placement exam, you will receive an email from听success@edgewood.edu听to help you prepare.

Non-degree exchange students听do not听need to take placement exams.

If you need to take the math placement exam:

• Carefully read the email you receive from听success@edgewood.edu.
• Create an online account (instructions will be in the email) and take a practice exam from home. The practice exam must be completed before you take the proctored exam.
• Take the proctored placement exam on the assigned date.

Class schedules will vary depending on individual needs and goals of each student. A first semester schedule usually consists of 14-16 credits (typically 4 or 5 classes). Generally students will take a COR 1 class, English, math, or oral communication, and one other class (possibly in a major that you are considering).

COR is a general education requirement unique to 91重口 where students have the opportunity to connect learning, beliefs, and action while examining relevant human issues from multiple perspectives.
