CHAPTER 3: ADVISING PROCESSES Declaring a Major / Change of Major Form STUDENTS WISHING TO APPLY TO ONE OF OUR COMPETITIVE ADMISSION PROGRAMS: Nursing-RN (622) Nursing-LPN (938) Dental Hygiene-AAS (545) Physical Therapist Assistant (489) SHOULD: • Login to UCanWeb Secure Area • From the Main Menu click on Miscellaneous Student Requirements Menu • Click on option Change of Major Request for Selective Program Consideration OTHERWISE: • Students wishing to change majors must meet the admission requirements for the intended major (see the College Catalog as requirements do vary) and be in good academic standing. • Students who are switching majors, going from pre-major status (001) into the intended major, or switching levels (i.e. moving from the Associate’s degree to the Bachelor’s degree) should file a Change of Major request with their dean’s office: All forms available at Dean’s offices, Registrar’s office, AFYP or http://www.canton.edu/provost/resources.html 16
Dropping & Adding Courses: Common Questions • At the start of the semester: Students who have their Registration Code for UCanWeb can add/drop online during the first three days of the semester – IF the section has space available. Students who do not have access to their Registration Code will need to fill out a Course Change Notice to have the Registrar’s office process the change (see next page). o Starting on the fourth day of the semester, students will need instructor approval for ANY course they are adding (not necessary for courses dropped), and advisor and dean’s approval for all course changes. o After the fifth day of the semester, students will also pay $20 to make changes to their schedule. • Student wants to drop a course after the semester is in progress: o First, gather information from the student on why they want to withdraw from the course: Is it worth trying to stay in the current course? If so, are there keys to success that the student has not tried? (meeting with the instructor, using the learning labs, inquiring about a tutor, etc.) Ask student to review syllabus to determine likelihood of a passing grade Has the student received an MTS on this particular course? Will the dean approve the request? Deans are unlikely to allow students to drop below fulltime standing without significant extenuating circumstances. o After examining the options, if it is in the student’s best interest to withdraw from the course, they need to complete a Course Change Notice and have it signed by their faculty advisor and their dean. Discuss: ACADEMIC implications: How many credits will this change bring them down to? Are there any late start courses available that would help the student maintain full-time standing? Is the course in question a pre-requisite to another required course? Is the course required for the degree, if so, when can it be made up? How does completing fewer credits this semester affect graduation? FINANCIAL implications: Does dropping this course take the student below full-time status? A yes answer can significantly impact financial aid for the current semester and eligibility for aid for the next semester also. Students who are on probation for financial aid purposes (different than academic probation) must successfully complete ALL coursework attempted and cannot drop any courses. All students considering a course drop should consult with a financial aid advisor to determine individual impact. • Student wants to ADD a course after the semester is in progress: o If the course has started, the student will need to obtain instructor permission to add the course (instructor can sign the Course Change Notice or approve via email) o If student is adding a late start course to replace one they are withdrawing from, they do not need instructor approval if the course is open and has not started yet. Remind student that the workload for the course will be condensed and they will need to allocate extra time than they would if the course ran for the entire semester. 17
