Registration Policies for Spring Semester 2010: Includes IT Calculus

General Regular Term Policies/Procedures: Both Day and Evening Classes

If you are requesting a permission number: `

1. You must have completed with a C- or better (or be currently enrolled Fall 2009) any Math course stated as a prerequisite for the Spring 2010 Math course which you are seeking.
2. You must have no time conflicts between either the lectures or the discussions of the Math class you request and any other course for which you are already registered.
3. You must be able to register to the class at the time you make the request, since the permission number will have a limited amount of time before it will become inactive. If you do not have access to email, check with the staff in the Math Undergraduate Office in Vincent 115 regarding what procedure to follow.

Be sure to include the information listed below with your request. Without this information, your request will be delayed and your reply will state: "Please provide the following information."

1) Student Name and U of M ID number (if you have one)

2) For each section of each course, you must include:

a) Course Number (Ex.: Math 1271)

b) Section Number (Ex.: 012)

c) Class number (5-digit Ex.: 12345)

d) Reason for requesting a permission number. (Do not say only that the "section is closed.")

If you can provide more than one section of a popular class that would fit your schedule, you will increase your likelihood of success in receiving a permission number.

Enrollment summaries may be checked if the reason you have stated for requesting a permission number is a time conflict with another class. If a student has not demonstrated that he/she cannot do an open section, that student will be asked to register to an open section.

Response will come through email concerning the request for entrance into a closed section. If the student has demonstrated that it is impossible to do an open section, the student will either receive a permission number or be notified that a permission number cannot be given. Staff will try to respond to your request for a permission number within 48 hours, but this is not always possible. If you have not received an email reply within 5 (five) days, please email ugrad@math.umn.edu asking about your request.

SPECIAL ISSUES

Includes IT Calculus and Honors Courses

IT CALCULUS

Math 1371 will remain closed with entrance granted only through permission numbers. Priority seating is for incoming IT freshman and incoming IT transfer students. However, consideration will be given to other students seeking entrance into this course. Please write ugrad@math.umn.edu with questions.

Math 1372, 2373, and Math 2374: During the Spring 2010 registration queue, IT students and non-IT students who have previously completed or are currently enrolled (Fall 2009) in an IT calculus course will have priority seating in Math 1372, 2373, and 2374. If you don't meet any of these criteria, you should register to the equivalent courses: Math 2243 (for Math 2373) or Math 2263 (for Math 2374).

HONORS MATH COURSES

Need special permission from the Honors Advisor for Mathematics for this Freshman Honors Math Course. During Freshman Orientation, please see UHP Honors Adviser, Jeanne Anderegg (20 Nicholson Hall) for further information.

Questions regarding permission numbers for these honors courses should be directed to Jeanne Anderegg: anderegg@umn.edu.

Non-honors students (including graduate students) as well as Honors students taking a 5xxx level Honors Math course for the first time need permission numbers to register for these courses. Send an email to ugrad@math.umn.edu to request a permission number for either of these courses.

Other Special Math Course Registrations

*Math 1038

Entrance is gained only through permission numbers. Math 1038 is for students who have taken Math 1051 and need the probability section of Math 1031. Students attend Math 1031 for the probability section, but register to Math 1038. Students must choose a section of Math 1031 which they will attend. A specific form for Math 1038 which either can be picked up in Vincent 115 or downloaded and printed out from the link at http://www.math.umn.edu/undergrad/forms/ must be completed. Staff will respond with a permission number.

4xxx, 5xxx, 8xxx level Math Course is Closed

Click on this link for special forms to request a permission number for 499x/59xx or 899x courses http://www.math.umn.edu/undergrad/forms/. Questions regarding entrance into other 4xxx, 5xxx, or 8xxx level Math courses should be directed by email to ugrad@math.umn.edu.
