Registration Updates

The Summer and Fall 2013 schedules are now on-line. Please realize that some of the classes you wished for previously may have been canceled or moved to new times. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable in this very dificult time for the University. Also, some classes are now being offered only once per year, instead of every semester; when this is the case, we've made every effort to note it below.

 

Changes in the Registration Rules

The university has implemented new rules regarding the number of units students can register for during the initial registration period and the number of times a course can be repeated. All of the details are available on the Advising Office's website.

 

Fall 2013 update

+HIST 411 substitutes: HIST 411 (required for all students in the 2010/earlier catalogs and 2011/later catalogs - Math Focus and Science Focus only) is likely to be offered only at 4:00pm on Monday for both the Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 semesters. Students who plan on graduating in Fall 2013, Spring 2014 or Summer 2014 and have a conflict with this time, can petition to use a substitute class. To begin the petition process, download, complete and submit this form to the Liberal Studies office.

+ENS 241A/B: The PE for children class will again be offered only during fall semester. Students choosing the Tues or the Thurs ENS 241B activity portion will have several class meetings at Hardy Elementary School, which is on Montezuma Road, just west of the SDSU Sports Deck. They will get to work with real children!

+ENGL 306A/W: If you need ENGL 306A/W in the afternoon, take it this fall! ENGL 306A is TTh 3:30-4:45 PM. It pairs with sections of ENGL 306W offered TTh 11:00 or TTh 5:00-6:15. The time will go back to TTh mornings in the spring.

+MATH 315 and 313: The plan is to schedule MATH 315 TTh 4:00 PM both fall and spring. Students with conflicts can take MATH 313 instead (see an adviser to complete a petition).

+GEOL 412 (for science specialization/focus students):Tthis class will only be offered spring semester. It will most likely be MW 1:00-3:20 PM.

+N SCI 412 is now PHYS 412 - same class, different department designation. The change is reflected in your degree evaluation.

+RWS 253/LING 253: This class will be offered MW 2:00pm in the fall semester. 2011 and 2012 catalog students who have taken the WPA and scored less than an 8 will need it eventually and are encouraged to take it this semester. [note: 2010 and earlier catalogs do not require this course, and 2011 and later catalogs allow students who score 8 or higher to waive it - see an adviser or use the email advising link in the upper left hand corner of this page to do this]

+LIB S 498 class meeting dates and times for the Fall 2013 term are laid out below. Please note: if you can't attend all of the scheduled workshops, you can't complete the course requirements. So either rearrange any scheduling conflicts or plan on taking the course some other term. Note that while you must sign up for a specific section, you may come to either the Friday or Saturday meeting depending upon which is most convenient in any given week.

section 1: Fridays 8/30, 9/27, 10/4 (tentative), 11/1 from 3:00-5:00pm [location TBA]

section 2: Saturdays 8/31, 9/28, 10/5 (tentative), 11/2 from 9:30-11:30am [location TBA]

The content areas for Fall 2013 will be visual art (for the capstone) and science (for the CSET style test).

 

Summer 2013 update

+HIST 413 (session 1, probably T/W/Th 5:00-7:15pm) CANCELED
+LS 498 (session 1, see below for dates)
+RWS 280 (session 1)
+ED 451 - credential program prerequisite (session 1 and session 2)
+SPED 450 - credential program prerequisite (session 2 only, online)
+for 2010 and earlier catalogs only, CFD 375B (session 1, online)
+Special Education prerequisite classes might be offered through the College of Extended Studies. For more information, contact the SPED Department (619-594-6665).

+LIB S 498 tentative class meeting dates and times for the Summer 2013 term are laid out below. Please note: if you can't attend all of the scheduled workshops, you can't complete the course requirements. So students in this position should either rearrange any scheduling conflicts or plan on taking the course some other term.

Dates: Th 5/23, Th 5/30, and Th 6/27, all 2:00-4:00pm, all in Physics 144.

The content areas for Summer 2013 will be Literature (for the capstone) and Math (for the CSET style test). NOTE: students who have not taken one of the upper division Math classes for Liberal Studies (311, 313 or 315) should not take LS 498 this summer.

 

Math 413 (for the Math Focus in 2011 and later catalogs)

This class will likely be offered only in the Spring semester for the foreseeable future, so please plan accordingly.

 

TE 211B (for the Science Focus in 2011 and later catalogs)

This class will likely be offered only in the Spring semester for the foreseeable future, so please plan accordingly. For the Spring 2013 semester, we expect it to meet several Mondays at 7:00pm plus some Friday afternoons at school sites. As of Dec. 10, the tentative plan is Mondays evenings Jan. 28, Feb 4, Feb 11, Feb 18, and March 25 with three Friday afternoons in February and March for the additional field work. Students will have some flexibility as to which Friday afternoons.

 

ENS 241A/B (the lower division PE requirement - DHP-1)

This pair of classes will likely be offered only in the fall semester for the foreseeable future, so please plan accordingly.

 

HHS 280/TE 280/TE 296 (the Health Ed requirement - DHP-2)

The Health Ed class will be offered in the Fall 2012 semester (and probably only in the fall for the foreseeable future). [See below for information regarding how this course number has changed over the years.] PLEASE NOTE: PH 101 is not an appropriate class for this requirement, even if your degree evaluation presents it as a possible choice.

 

TE 170/CFD 170 (the lower division human development requirement - DHP-3)

This class will likely be offered only in the fall semester for the foreseeable future, so please plan accordingly.

 

Specialization and Focus updates

*For the Science specialization and focus, GEOL 412 will only be offered in the morning for the foreseeable future, so please plan accordingly.

*For the Math specialization and focus, Math 413 is likely to be offered only in the Spring semester for foreseeable future, so please plan accordingly.

* For the PE specialization, ENS 398 is unlikely to ever be offered again. Therefore, it will be waived for students in the PE specialization (unless they've already taken it). Also, the ENS department isn't offering ENS 348 as often as it used to. If it's offered, take it (don't wait).

 

Course names and numbers

Some course names and/or numbers have changed since advising sheets and catalogs were published. Additionally, in some cases, requried classes have been replaced by other classes since advising sheets and catalogs were published. These changes are listed below. Your degree evaluation, which is available to you through the web portal, will reflect these changes as well.
