Thurs, Dec 10 Classes end in A&S, Blair, Engineering, and Peabody. Fri, Dec 11- Examinations and reading day for A&S, Blair, Engineering, and Peabody. Sat, Dec 19 Essential Information Access 2 Academic Information is a system Vanderbilt students can view academic information including current registration (24 hours after registering on OASIS), grades, grade point average, AP/IB and transfer credit (after departmental evaluation of all transfer courses). Additional student information is available by clicking one of the icons in the lower left corner. From the Vanderbilt homepage, click Students; scroll down to Taking Care of Business; select Access 2 Academic Information. Use your VUnetid and e- password to log to access your record. College of Arts & Science students can compare their academic record with a combination of “plans” by selecting the degree audit icon on Access 2 Academic Information. These “plans” encompass the requirements for a degree, a major, a minor, and the core liberal arts program. The Special Audit icon can assist students thinking about changing their major or adding a minor to produce a "what if" audit. This audit will compare the student’s academic record with a new major or minor and determine what requirements are satisfied, not satisfied, or pending in the “what if” major or minor. This feature does not officially declare the major or minor. The degree audit system is offered as an aid to the advising and course selection process, and is not an official transcript or a completion of graduation requirements statement. Every effort has been made to ensure that the program is without error. Students are to discuss any irregularities with their adviser. Address Changes: It is the student's responsibility to keep the University informed of his or her correct mailing address (both school and home). Mail sent to the address on file will be considered to have been delivered. Course Load: Undergraduate students must have the approval of the Dean of their college or school to take fewer than 12 hours or more than 18 hours in a semester. Because OASIS will not let any student add a course if the addition would cause the load to exceed 18 hours, students with a legitimate need to take more than 18 hours should seek approval from their dean as early as possible in order to avoid inconvenience when using OASIS. OASIS is the system Vanderbilt students use to request, register, and change course selections for a term. OASIS operates in “Periods” that define what actions students can perform in the system. • Course Request Period is the first phase of registration during which students request the courses they wish to take for the upcoming term. During the Course Request Period, enrollment limits for individual courses are not enforced. Courses will not be closed during this period regardless of when students enter their requests. This is not a first-come, first served activity. Since this is a request phase only, students are not guaranteed that they will get every course and every day and time slot they request. • Course Bumping and Balancing Period occurs at the conclusion of the Course Request Period. During this activity, registration is turned off to students. Each school and their departments review enrollments in all of their courses and make decisions as to whether to cancel under enrolled courses, create new sections for over enrolled courses, balance enrollments in a course by shifting students from over enrolled sections to under enrolled sections of the same course, or to “bump” (drop) students from over enrolled courses when there are no other options. • Course Registration Period: Students who have been “bumped” from courses have the initial days of the Registration Period to replace the course(s) from which they have been dropped. Students who failed to register during the Course Request Period and all other students wishing to make schedule changes will join the bumped students a few days after the beginning of this period. The Registration Period ends for the fall semester at 7:55 a.m. on the day classes begin. During the Registration Period maximum enrollment limits on all courses are enforced. Hence, many courses will be closed because they are full. Courses open and close during this period as students are changing their schedules, deciding not to return, or taking a leave of absence for a semester. Students seeking entrance into a closed course should check the desired course periodically for an open seat during the Registration Period. Wait lists are not open until the Change Period begins. It will not be productive to contact professors or departments during the Registration Period to get into a closed course. (See “Waiting Lists”). • Course Change Period begins the first day of classes at 8:00 a.m. It is during the Change Period that Wait lists for closed courses become available and eligible students may declare a course pass/fail. All students should be registered on OASIS for all classes they intend to take for a given semester by 4:00 p.m. on the last day of the change period. After the last day of the change Period, students may not add a course or declare a course pass/fail. Students who drop a course after the course Change Period will receive a grade of “W” (withdrawal) and the course remains on the student’s academic record. A “W” grade has no impact on the cumulative grade point average. • Course Maintenance Period: Students may view their schedules on OASIS but may no longer drop or add courses. Pass/Fail: In accordance with stated eligibility rules, students may request Pass/Fail status in a course. The student first registers for the course; then during the Change Period the student requests Pass/Fail status. Some courses are designated as not available for Pass/Fail status. These courses have a note attached to them in the schedule listing. Students in A&S, Blair, Engineering, and Peabody use OASIS to request Pass/Fail status and to convert to regular graded status. All pass/fail requests will be reviewed against each school’s pass/fail requirements after the change period. Restricted Courses: Some courses are restricted to students who meet specific criteria. These courses are not accessible by the student through OASIS. Waiting Lists: During Change Period, students may use OASIS to place themselves on waiting lists of most closed courses. After placing one's self on a waiting list, the student will be notified on the computer screen of the deadline by which the waiting status must be reviewed, using the UPDATE command in order to claim an available seat or confirm that he or she wants to remain on the waiting list. OASIS can be accessed at any time prior to the deadline. Each access will extend the student's deadline. Failure to access OASIS by the deadline will result in the student being removed from the waiting list. A position on the waiting list does not guarantee or constitute enrollment in the course. When a seat becomes available, students are moved from "wait" status to "conditionally enrolled" status and held in this status until either the seat has been claimed by the student or the deadline has passed, whichever comes first.
