College schedules
are very loose with multiple options available for subjects, times, even days in any given week. You are responsible for structuring your schedule in a manner that enables you to accomplish your academic goals. often have hours between classes; class times vary throughout the day and evening; and, you may not have classes all five days of the week. place the responsibility on you to determine how you will use your free time throughout the day. usually consist fewer than 20 hours per week spent in class.
College professors
are usually open and helpful, but most expect you to approach them if you need assistance. expect you to think about and synthesize course material on your own. expect you to read, save, and refer to the course syllabus. The syllabus outlines course expectations, assignments and examinations, grading standards, and how to contact the professor outside of class time for assistance. focus on new material and often spend little time on inclass review.
College courses
often require that you spend two or more hours outside of class for every hour that you spend in class in order to master the course material. Your time outside of class may be spent reading, reviewing, and completing assignments. are characterized by assessments that are usually infrequent and often consist solely of exams. In some cases, an entire course grade may be based on mid-term and final exams. Homework is recommended, but often left ungraded. view mastery as the ability to apply what you have learned to new situations or to solve new kinds of problems.
As a College student
your advisor will assist you in selecting courses that will enable you to complete your intended major, but it is your responsibility to schedule your classes appropriately and keep track of your progress toward graduation. Every major has a different set of graduation requirements. you will independently determine your priorities and responsibilities. You will face a significant number of moral, ethical, and personal decisions that will require you to assess your own priorities. Advisors and deans are here to help you along the way. 4
Building Foundations for Academic Success: Time Management & Study Skills
Like most Case students, I never had any trouble with my schoolwork in high school, and I expected college to be similar. However, I quickly discovered that my high school study habits were not going to cut it at a top-rated university. The material was more difficult and was taught more quickly than I was used to, and I found myself falling behind. Lauren Hassan, B.S. Chemistry 08 Excerpt from Just in Case: Study Tips for Case Students by Case Students. (ESS, 2009) What does it mean to study? As matriculating first-year students, you have had a variety of experiences with regard to how much time you have spent studying during high school. Statements like the one above are not uncommon. Obviously, you have achieved academic excellence. However, some of you may have achieved this with relatively little time spent outside of class studying. At the collegiate level, studying encompasses many different activities. Put simply, studying is any activity required for successful completion of a course. This list may include, but is not limited to: Reading/writing assignments Lab reports Worksheets/surveys/practice problems Research Presentations Group projects Online assignments Reviewing lecture notes Preparing for tests and quizzes What is important to note about this list is that not all of these will be assigned. However, they will be expected. It will be up to you to ensure that you are devoting enough time to your studies. Study Skills Study skills are just like any other skill you may have acquired throughout your life. If you have ever played a musical instrument, you understand the difficulty of playing a concerto without first dedicating much time to perfecting your craft. Study skills are no different. Students who achieved success in high school without having developed solid study skills may find themselves struggling initially. Fortunately, there are numerous resources here to help you along the way. A great place to begin is Educational Services for Students (ESS) Formula for Academic Success Most professors make an assumption about how much time you should spend studying outside of class. This assumption is used to determine how much work they assign and what type of expectations they have of their students. This assumption is referred to as the Formula for Academic Success. For every hour in class, plan on studying two to three hours outside of class.
Example: A student enrolled in 15 credit hours can expect to spend approximately 37.5 hours per week studying outside of class. The Reality of College Life Balancing Act 101 College is challenging. It is supposed to be; th otherwise it would just be the 13 grade. You have busy and complex lives. Many of you have been engaged in several extracurricular activities and would like to maintain that level of involvement when you come to college. Some of you will be working on campus. Some of you will commute to campus. All of you will be pursuing a rigorous academic curriculum. Given this reality, it will be very important for you to try to achieve balance in your lives. Make sure that you have time set aside for class attendance and studying, but also make sure that you have time to relax and have fun. Getting involved on campus and building relationships are essential to your academic success as well as to your happiness. Look into student organizations, visit the museums, take the bus to Coventry for dinner with your friends, support your fellow student athletes by attending a game, volunteer, work out at Veale, visit one of the citys Metroparks - - the possibilities are endless. Just remember to think holistically when planning your schedule.
Eighty percent of success is showing up. Woody Allen This is TRUE!! The most important foundation of academic success is attending class each and every class! Most students who experience academic difficulty in their first year do not commit to regular class attendance, develop an effective time management plan, or ask for help when needed. Dont make these mistakes; commit to effective study strategies from the start! If youre not getting the results you want, ASK FOR HELP!
SAGES General Education/Core Curricula: These courses are designed to develop quantitative, analytical, and communication skills as well as a heightened awareness of human values and institutions. Courses focus on writing competency, the arts and humanities, natural and mathematical sciences, social sciences and physical education. The undergraduate college and schools share common SAGES General Education/Core Curricula. Many courses used to fulfill college- or school-specific Breadth Requirements are applicable to all undergraduate degree requirements making possible the movement between different degree programs and majors. Students must also complete two semesters of physical education through a combination of half and/or full semester course offerings in Physical Education Activity. Major(s) Requirements: Case Western Reserve University offers more than 60 majors leading to Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees (see pp. 11-12 for a comprehensive listing). If interested, students may pursue more than one major or degree. Minimum 120 133 total credit hours: Different majors and degree programs require different total credit hours for graduation. See the General Bulletin for a complete listing of degree requirements. Minimum 2.000 cumulative grade point average (GPA). Some degree programs also require a GPA of at least 2.000 in the major. Residency Requirements: All students must earn a minimum of 60 credit hours in residence at Case Western Reserve University, of which at least 30 must be earned after the student achieves senior status. Open Electives: Courses taken beyond the Major and SAGES General Education/Core requirements to complete the credit hours necessary for a degree. Degree requirements may be fulfilled through completion of CWRU courses, credit earned through AP or IB examinations, credit earned through CWRU Proficiency Examinations, and through approved transfer credit.

Your SAGES General Education/Core Requirements
First Seminar: All First Seminars are interdisciplinary courses characterized by intense yet open-ended intellectual inquiry, guided by reading from primary as well as secondary sources, and include practice in written and oral communication in small groups. The goals of First Seminar are to enhance basic intellectual skills of academic inquiry, such as critical reading, thoughtful analysis, and written and oral communication; to introduce basic information literacy skills; to provide a foundation for ethical decision-making; to encourage a global and multidisciplinary perspective on the learning process; to facilitate faculty-student interactions; and, in the most general sense, to provide a supportive common intellectual experience for first-year students at Case Western Reserve University. Your SAGES First Seminar professor serves as your First-Year Advisor until you declare a major. There are four types of First Seminar: Life of the Mind, Natural World, Social World, and Symbolic World. University Seminars: These seminars are interdisciplinary in nature and build on the experiences and skills developed in First Seminar. Students must complete two University Seminars from two different topical areas (Natural World, Social World, Symbolic World) by the end of their fourth semester of enrollment. Writing Portfolio: After the completion of your last University Seminar, you will compile a final writing portfolio and submit it to the SAGES office (110 Crawford Hall). Your portfolio is due the semester following your final University Seminar. The writing portfolio documents your progress as a writer over your first three SAGES seminars and provides the University with programmatic feedback that will be used to enhance future seminars. Department Seminar: Students enroll in the Department Seminar after completion of University Seminars and the Writing Portfolio. Students ordinarily take this discipline-specific seminar in their third year and often within their major field. Senior Capstone: As seniors, CWRU students participate in a one- or two-semester capstone project, culminating in a final public presentation of their work in a university-wide celebration of scholarship and service. Students usually complete their capstone project within their major field. Breadth Requirements: All students will take additional discipline-specific courses, typically outside their majors, to ensure broad exposure to liberal learning. These courses may be taken throughout a student's undergraduate career. Some degree programs and major specify that certain courses be taken to fulfill breadth requirements. Often students may use credit earned through AP, IB, and transfer credit to meet some or all of these requirements. 7

Academic Advising
Text from the 2011-12 General Bulletin Academic advising is an important component of the educational program at Case Western Reserve University. Academic advisors assist students in the exploration of academic opportunities at the university and in the selection of courses. Advisors may refer students to other sources of information and assistance at Case Western Reserve. Students are expected to initiate and maintain regular contact with their advisors to address the students curricular and career concerns, and to review progress towards graduation. Students are expected to meet with advisors when declaring a major or minor, before registering for classes each semester, and when making corrections to their academic requirements reports. Advising during the First Year During a students first year at Case Western Reserve University, the faculty member instructing the students SAGES First Seminar serves as the students academic advisor. Students and their advisors are expected to explore the students academic interests or concerns, as well as educational and career goals, and to seek expert information and advice about academic policies and procedures and about specific academic programs from the General Bulletin, from newsletters and websites, from the academic representatives in the majors and minors designated as first year resources, and from other sources of advice and counseling on campus. Staff in the Office of Undergraduate Studies, the University Career Center, Educational Services for Students, the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the University Counseling Service, and in specialized programs such as Co-op (co-operative education), SOURCE (research and creative projects), the Center for International Affairs (education abroad), and the Center for Civic Engagement and Learning (community service) are available to support first year students and their advisors with publications, workshops, websites, experiential learning opportunities, and individual communications. Advising in the Majors and Minors Although some first year undergraduates enter with definite goals, they are not assigned to advisors in the majors until they have declared their major. Opportunities for exploration of majors and minors during the first and second semesters include a Choices Fair, departmental information sessions, and individual conversations with faculty and academic advisors. First year students who are ready to declare a major in their first year may do so beginning in November. Students engaging in further exploration of majors are expected to declare a major no later than the end of the second year. When a student selects a specific major or minor, the academic representative assigns a faculty advisor. A choice or change of major or minor is not recorded for any student until the major or minor declaration form, bearing the signature of the student, the name of the advisor, and the signature of the department representative, has been completed and returned to the Office of Undergraduate Studies, 357 Sears Bldg. After the first year, students who have not declared a major should consult their assigned advisor (noted in their online student information) or the academic representative of an academic department of interest for advice and schedule approval. Advising in the Office of Undergraduate Studies The deans and advisors in the Office of Undergraduate Studies are available to answer student and faculty questions about university rules, practices, programs, and resources and to meet with students who are interested in accelerated undergraduate to graduate and professional school programs, academic awards, and fellowship and scholarship opportunities. All students who have not declared a major should consult with their first year advisor or with one of the advisors in the Office of Undergraduate Studies for advising and schedule approval. Students with interests in health professions and/or law school are encouraged to seek advice from the director of health career advising, Steven Scherger, and the pre-law advisor, Terri Mester, in the Office of Undergraduate Studies.

Explore First-Year Course Offerings Now that you have an idea of what courses you will need and/or are likely to take, you should begin learning more about them. There are two tools that you will use to do this: 1) the First-Year Course Offerings list in the FYI Guide (pp. 44-51) and 2) the Schedule of Classes accessed through the Student Information System (SIS). As you browse the First-Year Course Offerings list and identify courses of interest, use the Schedule of Classes to review course descriptions and enrollment information, course pre-requisites and co-requisites, and course days and times. On the succeeding pages in this section, you will find guidelines of how to use the Schedule of Classes in SIS and place courses in your Shopping Cart. The Shopping Cart is a tool that you will use to help plan your fall schedule. You can place as many courses as you like in your shopping cart (e.g. multiple sections of a course or various options for a general education course). However, you will only be registering for 3-4 courses (you will register for SAGES First Seminar later). You will learn in the Course Registration section how to indicate from the list of courses in your Shopping Cart the courses in which you would like to enroll. Questions about Course Registration? As you begin reviewing curricular requirements, course descriptions, and course offerings, it is likely that questions will arise. This is your opportunity to begin exercising a skill that will serve you very well as a CWRU student asking for help. The information contained within the FYI Guide will likely answer many of your questions, but keep in mind the Undergraduate Studies is here to help (summerreghelp@case.edu or 216-368-2928).

Q: What is a credit hour? A: For courses in lecture format, one credit-hour represents the subject content that can be delivered in one academic hour of contact time each week for the full duration of one academic semester, typically fourteen weeks along with a final examination period. For undergraduate courses, one credit-hour also includes associated work that can be completed by a typical student in 2-3 hours of effort outside the classroom. For courses taught in other than lecture format (e.g., seminars, laboratories, independent study, clinical work, research, etc.), one credit-hour represents an amount of content and/or student effort that in aggregate is no less than that described above. Q: I see that both MATH 121 and MATH 125 are listed as Calculus I which one should I take? A: MATH 121 is the first of a three-course calculus sequence and is required for Engineering and most B.S. degrees. MATH 125 is the first of a two-course calculus sequence and is required for many majors in the life, managerial, and social sciences. There are a few different ways to tell which course/sequence is right for you. First, take a look at the schedule development recommendations for the major(s) in which you are interested; the recommended calculus course (if applicable) should be listed. Second, if you are planning on taking certain math courses beyond calculus II (e.g. Calculus III or Differential Equations) you should take MATH 121, as MATH 125/126 is designed to be a terminal sequence. You can use the General Bulletin to view required courses for your intended major(s) and review course descriptions to check pre-requisites. Finally, if you are considering multiple majors that recommend both MATH 121 and MATH 125, taking MATH 121 will provide you with the most flexibility as MATH 121/122 can in most cases be used as a substitute for MATH 125/126, whereas the opposite is not true. However, if you are fairly certain that you will not be pursuing an engineering or B.S. degree and do not expect to take more math, MATH 125 is the appropriate choice. Q: I am a pre-health/law student how do I know what to schedule for my first semester? A: Pre-professional interests are not the same as majors. Students who plan to attend a professional school (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law, etc.) will choose a major and fulfill degree requirements in the same manner as all other undergraduates while simultaneously fulfilling any curricular requirements to prepare them for entry into a professional program. Information and recommendations for scheduling based on these interests can be found on pp. 35-39.
Q: The schedule development recommendations for my major suggest that I take a course, but I already have credit for it what should I take instead? A: If you have credit for a course that is required for your intended major and/or part of a sequence, you can take the next course in the sequence (e.g. take MATH 122 if you have credit for MATH 121) or take another required course for which that course is a pre-requisite (e.g. take an upper-level Psychology course for which PSCL 101 is a pre-requisite if you have credit for PSCL 101). In other cases, the credit for that recommended course can leave an open space in your fall semester schedule that you could choose to fill with another course of interest or simply leave unfilled. If you have questions about this, contact Undergraduate Studies for help. Q: What is a pre-requisite/co-requisite? A: A pre-requisite is a requirement that must be satisfied before a student is permitted to enroll in a course. For example, you must have credit for MATH 121 before you can enroll in MATH 122. A co-requisite is a required course that must be taken along with another course, unless a student has already earned credit for that course. For example, CHEM 105 is a corequisite for BIOL 214. If you want to enroll in BIOL 214 you must also enroll in CHEM 105 unless you have credit for CHEM 105 through AP, IB or transfer credit. [Important Note: Any AP, IB, or college credit must be received by CWRU and posted in SIS in order to use this credit as a pre or co-requisite. See the relevant sections of the New Student Checklist for information regarding this credit. Q: What if I dont meet the pre-requisite for a course? Can I still take it? A: Generally, no. The exception to this is a course that requires instructor consent, which you can request through the Schedule Change Request item on the New Student Checklist beginning July 1. Course prerequisites are put in place intentionally because the faculty assume enrolled students will have learned the material presented in the pre-requisite course(s). Prerequisites are not arbitrary obstructions, but rather intentional learning paths. Therefore, you should not expect to enroll in a course for which you have not met the pre-requisites. Additionally, SIS will not allow you to do so. This is why it is important that you have all prior credit earned (AP, IB, or transfer credit) sent to Undergraduate Studies in advance of registration.
16
Q: How do I know if CWRU has received my AP, IB, or college credit? A: As this credit is received and evaluated, the status of this credit will be updated on the New Student Checklist. You should review these items carefully for information regarding the process of having this credit received, reviewed, and posted (if applicable). It is important to have this credit sent to CWRU as soon as possible so that it can be evaluated and posted before registration begins. Score reports for students who have indicated CWRU as a recipient of AP and IB exam results will be sent to us electronically in early July. Q: I took an AP, IB, or college course in high school but did not receive credit at CWRU. What can I do? A: If your AP or IB exam scores do not qualify you to earn credit, or the college coursework you took in high school does not meet the transfer eligibility requirement, there are other options. Proficiency exams are offered in math, chemistry, physics, and computer science. Students can earn course credit by passing what is equivalent to the final exam for that course. These exams will be offered during New Student Orientation. Information about these exams is on p. 59. If you took an AP/IB exam that has not been approved for credit (see the list on pp. 55-58) at CWRU you should contact Undergraduate Studies. If you took college courses that meet the CWRU Requirements for Transfer Eligibility but were not awarded credit, refer to the correspondence received from Undergraduate Studies for further information. Occasionally courses require further review by a department before credit is awarded. Q: Can AP, IB, or college credits be used to fulfill general education requirements? A: Yes, provided that credit for these courses is awarded by CWRU, you may use these course credits to satisfy general education requirements. The exception to this is SAGES courses (First Seminar, University Seminar, Department Seminar, and Senior Capstone), which must be taken at CWRU. Q: What is an Arts and Humanities, Natural and Mathematical Science, Social Science, Quantitative Reasoning, or Global & Cultural Diversity course? A: Each of these refers to a category of General Education Requirements. When reviewing the general education requirements for your intended major(s), you will find that one or more of these categories will be listed, along with an indication of the number of courses and credit hours required to fulfill this requirement. Listed under each category heading will be a series of course departments OR specific courses that can be used to fulfill this requirement. Categories that list only course departments (e.g. Arts and Humanities) will allow ANY 3-4 semester hour course within that department to count toward that requirement. 17
Q: I have AP, IB, or college credit for a course should I use it and move ahead or repeat the course at CWRU? A: This is a common question that has unique answers for each student. Some students are apprehensive about moving ahead in a course sequence or taking an upper-level course because they have questions about whether or not they are truly prepared. The truth of the matter is that only you can know whether or not using the credit youve earned to move ahead or repeating a course is in your best interest. Though some students wont find that statement particularly helpful, how well you are able to learn the material presented in a higherlevel course will not only depend on your preparation but also on your study skills and ability to utilize the resources around you (faculty office hours, tutoring, supplemental instruction sessions, etc.). Therefore, there isnt a way to predict student success or for an advisor to tell you what you should do. One thing that is important to know is that first two weeks of the semester are a drop/add period. What this means is that students are free to drop and add courses during this period before having to finalize their schedules. You can register for and sit in on a class for the first week or two and test drive it before making a final decision. Lets say you decide to use the AP credit youve earned for MATH 121 and take MATH 122 in the fall semester. If after the first week of the course, during which time youll have the opportunity to review the course syllabus, talk with your professor, and look over the course materials, you decide that MATH 122 is not an appropriate course for you, you can drop MATH 122 and add MATH 121 instead. This is a common strategy for students with questions about whether or not to use AP, IB, or college credit to take a higher-level course because it allows them to learn first-hand what the course is like before making a decision to use the credit, whereas simply not using the credit and repeating a course does not. Regardless of the work done before, your goal should be to ensure that you are prepared for the next course in the CWRU sequence. Q: How will I choose my First Seminar? A: After you have registered for your fall courses and your schedule has been reviewed, you will be contacted by SAGES in late July/early August and directed to select from a list of First Seminars that fit with your schedule. You will identify seminars of interest and enrolled based on expressed interest and course availability. Additional information about First Seminar course selection can be found on p. 33.
Q: Who is my advisor? When will I meet my advisor? A: Your First-Year Advisor will be the faculty member instructing your SAGES First Seminar. You will meet your First-Year Advisor at New Student Orientation, both in a group setting and also individually. Advisors engage in a partnership with students to help them make the most of their CWRU experience, providing both information and guidance. They will work with you to develop an understanding of your unique interests, talents, and aspirations. Additionally, First-Year Advisors are familiar with policies and procedures and will work to help you successfully navigate the university. Upon declaration of a major, you will be assigned an advisor who is a faculty member from the department in which you have declared your major. First-Year students may declare a major no sooner than November 1, 2012. More information about academic advising at CWRU can be found on p. 10. Q: There are two courses that I want to take but theyre offered at the same time. Can I register for both? A: You cannot register for two courses that meet at the same time or have overlapping meeting times. If one of the courses has multiple sections, see if the other section will fit your schedule. You may have to adjust other courses on your schedule to accommodate an alternate section. In cases where this is not possible, you will have to make a decision about which course is a priority and look to take the other course in a future semester. Q: What if a course requires instructor consent? A: Please use the Schedule Change Request form on the New Student Checklist to request consent for the course. DO NOT request consent through the SIS permission page. You should review course prerequisites in advance of registration and request consent July 1-8 to ensure timely review and processing of these requests in advance of registration. Note: submission of a request does not guarantee approval. Undergraduate Studies will contact you if the request cannot be approved. Q: I only have x minutes between classes will that be enough time to (eat/get to my next class/prepare for my next class)? A: The answer varies depending on where your classes are being held and how much time is available in between them. Generally, 10-15 minutes between classes should be enough to make it from one to another. If possible, you should also consider leaving yourself a larger block of time (about an hour) at some point during the day for meals and to give yourself a break.
Q: What if a class that I need/want to take is full? A: Generally we are able to ensure that incoming firstyear students are able to register for courses that they need for an intended major. If a required course is full, you should use the Schedule Change Request on the New Student Checklist to request a seat in the course. DO NOT request permission to enroll in a closed course through the SIS permission page. The Schedule Change Request item will remain open during the registration period (July 12-17, 2012) and be reviewed shortly thereafter. During the period which students schedules are reviewed (July 18-27, 2012), Undergraduate Studies will review students requests and make adjustments to their schedules if possible (subject to availability). Students should make sure to check their CWRU Webmail frequently during the schedule review period, as Undergraduate Studies may need to be in touch with you about these requests. There are cases in which a course that a student wants to take (e.g. a general education course, elective, or course of interest) is full. For situations such as this (i.e. the course is not required but rather a course that a student wants to take), we ask that you find an alternate course to take instead and plan to take that course in a future semester. Q: What if I want to join a musical ensemble during my first semester? A: All CWRU students are welcome to participate in our music ensembles. There are many opportunities, from large instrumental and vocal groups, to smaller chamber groups. A full list of ensembles can be found at: http://music.case.edu/ensembles/. There are gateway auditions for several of the primary ensembles, which include Orchestra, Symphonic Winds or Wind Ensemble, and Concert Choir. Other ensembles require placement auditions. Auditions being the first week of class. Interested students should contact the director via email or attend the first class meeting. All incoming students can learn more about the Music Department by visiting: http://music.case.edu/incoming/

Q: What if a course I wish to take has variable credit hours? A: There are a limited number of courses that will give you the option to select the number of credit hours you wish to receive for the course when enrolling. You will most commonly see this with musical ensemble courses. These courses will give you the option to enroll for either 0 or 1 credit hour. If you need the course to count toward a major or minor requirement, you should take the course for 1 credit hour. Otherwise, you have the option to take it for either 0 or 1. In both cases, you will receive an evaluative grade in the course. However, if you take a course for 0 credits, the final grade will not be factored into your GPA. You might choose this option if you are already at the maximum number (19) of credit hours for the semester, or if you simply wish to exclude the grade from your GPA. You are, however, required to be enrolled in a course to participate. Note: If you wish to use MUEN 385 (Spartan Marching Band) to fulfill a physical education requirement, you must take it for 0 credits. Another possible instance of this may occur if you are registering for a research course or independent study. In these cases, you should contact the instructor of the course directly to understand the appropriate number of
credits in which you should enroll. Any questions about this can be directed to Undergraduate Studies (summerreghelp@case.edu) for assistance. Q: What if I change my mind about my major after I register? A: Access to SIS will close at 11:59 p.m. EST July 17, 2012 and not reopen until after students have met with their First-Year Advisor during New Student Orientation. If you change your mind about your intended major after having registered for fall courses and this will fundamentally alter your schedule for the fall semester, notify Undergraduate Studies immediately. If the change requires minimal schedule changes, you can wait until New Student Orientation to address this. You will have the opportunity to review your schedule with your FirstYear Advisor during New Student Orientation and make changes to your schedule at that time. Q: Who can I ask if I have questions about my schedule? A: Contact the staff in Undergraduate Studies either via phone (216.368.2928) or summerreghelp@case.edu for all questions related to academics and course registration. Were happy to help!

require slightly more. Do not feel obligated to take more hours than are recommended in the First-Year Schedule Development Recommendations for your major(s). Carefully Select Your Courses You will be selecting at most 3 to 4 academic credit-bearing courses normally totaling 10-13 semester hours (once First Seminar is added, your schedule will total 14-17 credit-hours, though some majors may require slightly more). You should also be identifying some alternate course options in case of time conflicts or course availability issues. We are incredibly successful at getting students into the courses that they need. As previously stated, it is important that you remain flexible in this process and have alternate courses identified in advance of registration so that changes to your projected schedule can be made if necessary. You will have the option to request enrollment in a closed course via the New Student Checklist if necessary, though these requests are not guaranteed to be approved. Requests made for courses required for a students intended major will be given priority. The course registration process continues throughout the first two weeks of the semester (drop/add period) and schedule adjustments can be made throughout that time as needed. The curriculum is also flexible enough to allow for a variety of scheduling options for students across all academic areas of interest. If your schedule has courses that are offered at only one day and/or time, you should lock those into your schedule first and then move to other courses that are offered at more than one day and/or time. It is highly recommended that you select a Physical Education course as the last part of the registration process. Physical Education courses are required but count as 0 credit hours. Varsity athletes participating in a fall sport should register for that course (see p. 52) Once you have finalized your course schedule and have made a list of alternate courses, you will log on to SIS and complete the course registration process. The following pages will guide you through the process. Keep in mind the Undergraduate Studies staff (summerreghelp@case.edu or 216-368-2928) are available to answer your questions along the way. See the SAGES First Seminar Course Selection section (p. 33) for more information about that process.
Please keep in mind the following when preparing to register for Fall semester: Create a Balanced Schedule Before you make decisions about specific courses on your schedule, again consider these recommendations: Balance the types of courses that comprise your schedule: Try to avoid putting together five heavy reading classes, three math courses or three lab courses all in the same semester. Look for courses that offer you variety in terms of topics, teaching methodology and types of requirements. The greater interest you have in the courses that you are taking, the more likely you are to be successful. Balance the times of courses that comprise your schedule: Most courses meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for 50 minutes or Tuesdays and Thursdays 75 minutes. It is not recommended to take all of your classes on only Tuesday and Thursday or only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The more that you spread out your courses, the more breaks and flexibility you will have with your schedule. Also, you will avoid long days that leave you feeling exhausted and unable to study. Keep in mind the average schedule consists of 14-17 credit hours, though some majors

Recommendations for First-Year Students with an interest in Medicine, Dentistry, or other Professional Health Sciences
Pre-medical, pre-dental, and other pre-professional health science students are encouraged to explore and to pursue academic fields they enjoy and in which they will perform well. To meet the admission requirements of professional health science schools, a student may major in any subject, but must include certain prerequisite courses in their undergraduate curricula. Both Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) programs provide strong preparation for professional health science schools. Although there are general science requirements for all medical, dental, and other professional health science schools, there is also a great amount of variation in requirements beyond the general core (e.g., some pharmacy schools require an introductory course in economics, others do not; a few medical schools require anatomy, the majority do not). Consequently, as a first-year student it is impossible to anticipate every requirement you will need to complete as an undergraduate student, and it is essential that you work with the Director of Health Career Advising to identify unique program requirements and when they should be fulfilled. General Requirements for most professional health science schools include: 2 Semesters of Inorganic Chemistry with Lab 2 Semesters of English Composition 2 Semesters of Organic Chemistry with Lab 1-2 Semesters of Calculus 2 Semesters of Biology with Lab 1 Semester of Statistics 2 Semesters of Physics with Lab 1-2 Semesters of Behavioral Sciences 1 Semester of Biochemistry AP and IB Credit If you receive AP and/or IB credit for courses that are science requirements for medical or dental schools, be aware that some professional schools will not accept such credits. This is most common with the biology and chemistry requirements. However, this does not mean you should waive such credit and repeat the courses at CWRU. Professional schools prefer applicants who challenge themselves as undergraduate students. Therefore, if you feel you are ready to take the next course beyond the one for which you received credit, it would be to your advantage to accept the AP and/or IB credit and take more advanced courses at the undergraduate level. For example, if you receive AP credit for CHEM 105/106/113, and you feel ready to take organic chemistry in your first year, you should plan to take an advanced course in chemistry or biochemistry in your second or third year in order to replace the AP credit. MCAT 2015 The American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) is revising the MCAT with plans of implementing the changes in March 2015. As a first year student, if you complete your medical school science requirements and take the MCAT by the end of your junior year (this is the traditional path), you will be the first group of students impacted by this change. The changes include adding biochemistry, behavior science, and research methods/statistics as new topics to be covered in addition to general biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and verbal reasoning. The current writing section of the MCAT will be eliminated on the new test. Every year students with considerable amounts of AP credit or post-secondary transfer credit are ready to take the MCAT during the summer between their second and third years at CWRU. If you find yourself in this situation, you will need to decide if you want to take the current version of the MCAT (last offering will be January 2015) or the new version. In making your decision, it is strongly recommended that you meet with the Director of Health Career Advising to help you determine what the best path is for you. Other Courses of Interest The courses listed below will allow you to explore your interest and enhance your knowledge of health care issues and professions. These courses are not required, but are suggested for additional personal and professional development during your undergraduate career. For more health science-related course offerings available beyond the first year, visit the Pre-Health Professions page on the Office of Undergraduate Studies website at http://www.case.edu/provost/ugstudies/prehlth.htm.

Options for Study Abroad Students can participate in study abroad via direct application to the school abroad; through providers like the Institute for Study Abroad-Butler University, the Center for Education Abroad-Arcadia University, or the Council on International Education Exchange; or, through an established exchange program. At present, Case has exchange agreements in England, Spain, Australia, Turkey, France, Germany, China, Singapore and Thailand. The Global Engineering Education Exchange (Global E3) program offers additional options. Non-traditional study abroad opportunities are also available through summer term programs. In addition, many departments across campus offer programs during Winter Break, Spring Break, and the Summer term, including the Department of Bioethics, the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, the SAGES program, the School of Dental Medicine, and the School of Engineering. These opportunities consist of a class traveling abroad for one to three weeks exploring how the course topic is experienced in another country or culture. Study Abroad Eligibility Students are eligible for study abroad provided that they have completed at least 24 credit-hours of coursework at CWRU, are in good academic and disciplinary standing (with no pending judicial actions), and are otherwise eligible to register on campus at CWRU for the proposed semester(s) (no financial holds, e.g.). NOTE: Specific study abroad programs may have their own admissions guidelines that exceed CWRU expectations and students will need to meet those for participation in those programs. Foreign Language Requirements CWRU does not require students to complete any foreign language prerequisites before studying abroad. However, if a student wishes to complete a program in a country in which the native language is not English, while abroad the student must either 1) take at least one course taught in the native language (e.g. a French literature course taught in French) or 2) take at least one course that teaches the native language (e.g. French 101). NOTE: Specific study abroad programs may have their own language requirements that exceed CWRU expectations and students will need to meet those for participation in those programs. If you prefer to study at an English-speaking institution, you may attend a university in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, or in an English-speaking country in Africa. Most short-term faculty-led programs do not have a language requirement, although proficiency in the native language is beneficial.

When to Buy Your Textbooks Many students worry about when they should purchase their textbooks, especially if they are not certain they want to keep all of the courses for which they registered at CWRU. While there is no expectation that students purchase their books prior to the first day of class, you may want to consider doing so if you want to begin reviewing materials or get a jump on your reading before classes start, or to guarantee that you will have the books you need at the beginning of the semester. If you decide to purchase your textbooks before the semester begins, keep the return policies in mind in case you decide to change a course or your entire schedule during the semesters Drop/Add Period (the first two weeks of the semester). If you purchase your books from the CWRU Bookstore, you may return them in their original purchase condition and with a receipt within the first week of classes for a full refund. If you drop a class, you can still get a full refund during the second week of classes if you return the books in their original purchase condition with a receipt and proof of the course drop. If you purchase your books through other sources, be sure to check their refund policy.

Computer Science Proficiency Examination Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 10:30 a.m. 12:30 p.m. Olin 313 An examination will be given for ENGR 131 and EECS 132. Students may choose to take one or the other. The ENGR 131 exam is recommended for students who are familiar with elementary computer programming (any language) and who have not received transfer credit for ENGR 131 or EECS 132, or AP/IB credit for EECS 132. ENGR 131 is required of all engineering students (except Computer Science and Computer Engineering) and some other majors (e.g., Physics). The EECS 132 exam is recommended for students who are familiar with computer programming in Java and with objectoriented programming, including advanced topics (e.g., templates). EECS 132 is required for Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Systems Biology majors. Students who wish to take either of the exams must register at least 48-hours in advance by contacting Prof. Chris Fietkiewicz (cxf47@case.edu). More details on the courses and the proficiency exams appear at http://eecs.case.edu/introcomputing Mathematics Proficiency Examinations Friday, August 24, 2012, 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m., Yost 300 This exam is recommended for students who have had calculus in high school but did not take the AP or IB Examinations, or students who took college-level calculus courses but did not earn transfer credit. Examinations will be given for MATH 121, MATH 122, MATH 223, and MATH 224. Students who wish to take a proficiency examination in mathematics must register by email (chris@case.edu), at least 24-hours in advance with Professor Christopher Butler.
Physics Proficiency Examinations Thursday, August 23, 2012, 8:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m., Rockefeller 301 This exam is recommended for students who have studied college level physics in high school but did not receive AP,IB, or transfer credit.

Advice from Upper Class Students to Consider as You Start Your First Year at CWRU
Faculty
Make sure that all of your professors know who you are, whether its a class of 10 people or a class of 100. Talk to them early in the semester. Become friends with your professors and advisors. Meet your professors, they want to meet you (go to office hours, approach them after class). Ask your professors about their academic interests, careers related to their departments, their research, and research opportunities in their departments. You dont have to have a problem in your class to talk to your professor.
Social Life
Explore! CWRU and Cleveland offer so many cool things. Dont just stay in your room. (Even when it gets cold outside.) Learn to use public transportation. Its not complicated and its included in your fees! Get to know as many people as possible, introduce yourself to everyone. Dont be afraid to get involved, but dont overwhelm/over extend yourself. Be open to making friends with a diverse range of people as soon as you get on campus. Theres a lot to do in Cleveland, you just have to find it. Take advantage of University Circle/Cleveland (museums, downtown, West Side Market). Every Wednesday go to Spot Night for local bands, cheap food, and fun. Take advantage of your Student Activities Fee! Clubs on campus program for you, and there is always something free going on!

Music and Music Education Potential music/music education majors who have not yet auditioned should contact Juanita Karpf in the Music Department at (216) 368-2400 or juanita.karpf@case.edu. Admission as a music major does require an audition. The Music Department uses a pre-screening audition process. Each applicant is asked to submit a digital audition (video) using a service provided by Citizen Groove. All new music/music education majors will take a placement test in music theory either when they audition for the major or during New Student Orientation. The first music theory course assignment will be determined from the score of the theory diagnostic exam taken during auditions. Students who did not take this exam on audition day will be scheduled to take it during orientation. Students placed in MUTH 003 (remedial music theory) will also have the chance to retake the diagnostic exam on this day. Students who placed into MUTH 003 but would like to retake the exam can use the resources listed on this link. The Music Department also offers a music minor. Students can declare a music minor and pursue the curriculum without passing an audition. As a minor, students still have the option to perform in ensembles, but would not have any solo performance or applied music lesson requirements. All CWRU students are welcome to participate in music ensembles. There are many opportunities, from large instrumental and vocal groups, to smaller chamber groups. A full list of groups can be found at: http://music.case.edu/ensembles/. There are gateway auditions for several of the primary ensembles, which include Orchestra, Symphonic Winds or Wind Ensemble, and Concert Choir. Other ensembles require placement auditions. Auditions are being held the first week of class. Interested students should contact the director via email or attend the first class meeting.
