Differences Between High School and College

As matriculating Case Western Reserve University students, you have already demonstrated academic excellence. Some of you come to us with significant college credit through AP or IB coursework. Additionally, some of you have also taken college courses. However, as you start your full-time collegiate experience, you will likely notice significant differences from experiences that you had during high school. As you contemplate the start of fall classes and spend time developing your first schedule, review the following observations about some of the changes that you can expect to encounter.

High School schedules

are very structured, even rigid. There is often only one section of a course offered and electives are limited. Your schedule is given to you with very little opportunity to customize it to your preferences. start and stop at the same time each day and are structured so that you proceed directly from one class to another. may have study/free periods throughout the day and lunch scheduled throughout the week. consist of about six hours each day 30 hours per week spent in class.

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.

High School teachers

will often approach you if they believe you need assistance. impart knowledge and facts, sometimes drawing connections and leading you through the thought process. often remind you of course assignments and due dates.

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.

introduce material and review it two or three times in class.

High School courses

may require that you spend as little as zero to two hours per week outside of class studying and completing course assignments. are characterized by assessments that are frequent, often daily, and consist of homework, quizzes, quests, tests and projects. There are multiple opportunities to demonstrate your understanding of topics presented in class. view mastery as the ability to reproduce what you have learned in the form in which it was presented to you, or to solve problems similar to the ones you were taught in class.

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 High School student

guidance counselors and advisors ensured that you satisfied the necessary requirements. Graduation requirements were the same for every student and the flexibility to customize your education was very limited. parents, teachers, and advisors continually reminded you of your responsibilities and obligations with regard to homework, tests, and important deadlines.

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!

Your Academic Degree

Case Western Reserve University offers two types of undergraduate degrees: Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. Both types of degree comprise several common elements. Detailed explanations of the SAGES General Education Requirements can be found in this document and also in the General Bulletin.

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.

SAGES: Seminar Approach to General Education and Scholarship

Detailed explanations of the SAGES General Education Requirements can be found in the General Bulletin and the on the SAGES website at http://www.case.edu/sages/.

Senior Capstone Breadth Requirements

Courses taken throughout the undergraduate experience; specific courses may be required by certain degree programs and/or academic majors.

Department Seminar
University Seminars (2): Thinking about the Natural World, Thinking about the Social World, or Thinking about the Symbolic World

Writing Portfolio
Including Papers from First Seminar & University Seminars

First Seminar: Life of the Mind, Natural World, Social World, or Symbolic World
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

Determining an Academic Focus for Your First Year

Choosing an academic degree and major is one of the most significant decisions that you will make at this stage of your life. Consequently, young adults (and often their families) spend a great amount of time weighing options, considering skills and strengths, and trying to predict the job market. Not surprisingly, making the right choice about a major can be a source of considerable stress. All CWRU students must declare a major before registering for their fifth semester. Many declare a major by the end of their first or beginning of their second year. However, students frequently change their majors and sometimes add majors or minors based upon their evolving interests. There is no normal process it is unique to every individual. I dont know what I want to be when I grow up FEAR NOT!! The academic degree you choose in college does not lock you into a particular career. Obviously, certain careers (accountants, doctors, computer programmers) require very specific sets of knowledge and expertise; however, you should approach the decision about your degree with optimism and enthusiasm as opposed to fear and trepidation. You will not pick the wrong major. Students typically choose their majors based on a combination of values, interests, skills, and goals. Reflecting on these things is extremely important as you explore and evaluate your options. How do I choose the path that is best for me? Determining your academic and career interests is a process. You are more likely to feel confident about your decisions if you are active in the process, keep an open mind, and avail yourself of the many resources available. The exploration process comprises individual reflection and assessment, research, discussion, and perhaps even job shadowing and internships. Case Western Reserve University has a wealth of opportunities, events, services, and faculty and staff dedicated to assist students with the exploration process. Whether youre committed to a major, exploring widely, or somewhere in between, there are numerous resources available to help you investigate, evaluate, and reach your goals: Your First-Year Advisor SAGES 4th Hour Plenary Sessions Academic Representatives (pp. 75-77) First-Year Student Newsletters Major and Career Exploration Programs Career Center Center for Civil Engagement & Learning Support of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE) Faculty/visiting scholars seminars and talks. If you are fairly certain of your academic interests: Refer to the Majors and Minors list to identify your major(s) and determine which General Education/Core Curriculum corresponds to that major. Review both the appropriate SAGES General Education/Core Curriculum and the First-Year Schedule Development Recommendations for that major. If possible, develop a schedule that allows you to test your academic interests and also explore new topics. Discuss your interests with your First-Year Advisor to verify that you have selected appropriate courses to meet those goals. If you have a few ideas about your academic interests but are still deciding Follow the suggested steps above for students who are fairly certain, but do this for all majors of interest. Look specifically for courses common to all or most of your majors of interest. If possible, select one or two topics of interest and look for courses that will allow you to test those interests. Discuss your interests with your First-Year Advisor to verify that you have selected courses appropriate to address your interests. If you are still exploring your academic interests: Try a course that you know nothing about, that is in a subject you were interested in during high school, or corresponds to a major/career interest. Review the Exploring Academic Options section of this guide, the schedule development recommendations for exploring students on page 79, and the SAGES General Education/Core Curricula. Review the First-Year Course Offerings listed in this guide. Virtually all of the courses listed in the First Year Information Guide can be used either as General Education/Core Curriculum Requirements or as open electives. Talk with your First-Year Advisor about your academic interests and skills and verify that the courses you have selected allow you to both explore your interests and meet academic requirements. Use the resources listed on this page and throughout the FYI Guide to engage actively in the exploration process.

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.

Preparing for Course Registration

Overview This section of the First Year Information Guide will prepare you to register for fall semester courses. You are expected to explore course options for fall semester, place courses in your Shopping Cart (to be explained in a later section), and have any questions addressed before the registration period (July 12-17) begins. Keep in mind that the staff in Undergraduate Studies is here to help. Begin the process by reviewing the information below. Some of these items have been addressed more thoroughly in previous sections of the FYI Guide please refer back to them as necessary. Once you have read and carefully considered the content below, proceed to the instructions for using SIS to review courses and place courses in your shopping cart on page 24. Explore Your Interests Students enter their first year of college with varying degrees of certainty regarding their academic focus. However, many students will change their major(s) one or more times before they graduate. Interests will change as you have new experiences, are exposed to new ideas, and continue to develop as an individual. You are strongly encouraged to take courses in your first year that allow you to test current interests as well as explore completely new topics. Consider Non-academic Commitments As mentioned earlier, it is important to find balance in your life. Make time for friends and family, daily tasks (e.g. meals, laundry, and shopping) and focusing on your wellness (e.g. exercising or attending a place of fellowship/worship). If you will be working or commuting, you will need to set aside time for those commitments as well. Consider the amount of time you are likely to spend participating in extracurricular activities like student organizations or athletic events. Use this information to help craft your schedule and make choices about days, times, types of courses, and number of credit hours. Consider the Type of Schedule That Works for You Are you most productive and alert in the morning, afternoon, or evening? Do you get bored after sitting for long periods of time? Would you do better with long blocks of classes or with small breaks in between each class? When would you like to have your classes, your study time, and your time to relax? Keep in mind that you wont always get your ideal schedule. Course availability and offerings can vary, which will impact your options. It is best to remain flexible and always think of alternate courses or sections of a course (if available) to make the registration process easier. Consider Placement Information and Earned Credit (if applicable) You will want to consider the impact that placement exam results and earned course credit will have on your course selection. By July 1, 2012 you should complete the relevant diagnostic and placement exams. The results of these will help you understand the level at which you should begin your study of math or a language (languages that do not have a placement exam have general placement recommendations listed on page 59). If eligible, you will also receive information about enhanced math and physics courses via your CWRU webmail account (see page 34). By now, you should have reviewed the AP/IB and Evaluation of College Credit items on the New Student Checklist. It is important that you complete these items to ensure that CWRU can receive and post your credit by the beginning of registration, especially if you plan on using this credit as a pre-requisite for a course you wish to take fall semester. You can view the AP/IB scores that CWRU has on file for you on the New Student Checklist. Keep in mind that scores for AP/IB exams taken this year will not be available until after July 1, 2012. We will receive them electronically and post them as soon as they are received from the testing agencies. If you have taken any AP or IB exams, you can review AP and IB placement information now (pp. 5558) to get an idea of what credit you will likely receive. This will determine where you begin in course sequences (e.g. calculus, French, or physics) or which courses will be available to you based on prerequisites. Review Schedule Development Recommendations Now that you have thought about your interests, commitments, and the type of schedule that will fit you best, you should start looking at sample first semester schedules. You should also review the following information: First Year Schedule Development Recommendations that correspond to your academic major(s) of interest beginning on page 78. SAGES General Education/Core Requirements that correspond to your academic major(s) of interest, listed along with schedule development recommendations Recommendations for Pre-Medical and PreDental Students (if applicable) pp. 35-37. Enhanced Course Opportunities page 34.

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).

Registration: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many classes/credit hours should I be taking in my first semester? A: The answer to this question will vary depending on your intended major(s), any earned credit (AP, IB, or college-level) and other personal factors. However, generally speaking, students should expect to register for 14-17 credit hours their first semester, including SAGES First Seminar (4 credit hours). This means that you will register for 3-4 courses during the July 12-17 registration period (SAGES First Seminar will be added to your schedule later, see p. 33). Undergraduates can take at most 19 credit hours per semester without special permission. Incoming first-year students are not permitted to take more than 19 credit hours in their first semester. Q: What if I am interested in more than one major? A: First, review Determining an Academic Focus for Your First Year (see p. 8). As you review the schedule development recommendations for the majors in which you are interested, take note of any courses that are recommended for all majors. Also take note of any recommended courses that are part of a sequence or are pre-requisites for courses that are recommended in the second semester. Each set of schedule development recommendations includes both fall and spring semesters (students who have credit for many of the recommended courses can use the General Bulletin as a resource for looking further ahead in the required curriculum). Looking at this information first can give you an idea of which courses you may choose to prioritize. Finally, if you are considering majors that are subject to different sets of General Education Requirements, take note of any requirements that apply toward both majors. It is not always an easy task to plan a schedule that can apply toward more than one major. There may be a point at which you need to make decisions about courses that make your schedule less balanced and more focused toward one than the other. Keep in mind that you do not have to do everything in your first semester. There will be many opportunities to take courses of interest in the future and there are many ways to explore academic interests beyond taking courses in that subject. Q: Can I have two majors? What about two degrees? A: You can complete two or more Arts and Sciences majors within the 120 hour minimum requirement for the BA degree or two or more Engineering majors within the 128-133 hour minimum requirement for the BS in Engineering degree. This is sometimes referred to as a double major. However, you may be thinking along the lines of a dual degree program (i.e. a BA and BS degree such as music and engineering or two BS degrees). To earn two degrees, you must satisfy all requirements for each degree, and complete for the second degree thirty 15 semester hours of study beyond the hours required for the first degree. This usually means a minimum of 150 credit hours earned, but often entails slightly more and also requires more than eight semesters to complete. If you enter CWRU with a significant amount of credit through AP, IB, or college coursework, this may allow you to complete two degrees within a period of time closer to eight semesters. Q: What is the difference between a BA and a BS? A: Depending on the degrees in question, the differences can vary. In general, Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees are characterized by breadth and flexibility in that they allow students to gain knowledge through indepth study of a discipline or disciplines while providing opportunities to explore other areas of interest. Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees also provide breadth but may require more focus on specific courses related to the discipline. Some majors are only offered as a BA or BS, while others provide students with a choice between the two. Though your intended major may provide you with the option, this is not usually something you need to decide in the first semester. The Schedule Development Recommendations in this guide will provide you with any applicable distinctions in coursework in the first year if applicable. To get a sense of the differences between the two curricula, you can consult the General Bulletin. If you have questions about this, please contact Undergraduate Studies. Q: Do I have to take every course that is listed on the schedule development recommendations for a major? A: Not always. Some majors have required or sequenced courses that, if not taken, could have implications for the courses that you can take in subsequent semesters (i.e. the course is a pre-requisite for a course recommended in spring semester). If you opt to not take one of these courses, you need to make sure you understand how this will impact your progress in the major. However, there are other recommended courses that do not necessarily have to be taken in the first semester. This can be helpful if you are considering multiple majors or simply want to reduce the number of courses you are taking to make your semester more manageable. If you have questions about this, contact Undergraduate Studies for help.

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/

18

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!

Course Registration: July 12-17, 2012

th By the time registration opens on July 12 , you should have already reviewed the preparatory information and filled your Shopping Cart. Registration for first-year students will be open July 12 (9:00 a.m. EST) through July 17 (11:59 p.m. EST). During this time, you are expected to register for all courses you plan to take during Fall semester with the exception of First Seminar (a separate process explained on p. 33). After the registration period closes, your schedule will be reviewed by a staff member in UGS and you will be contacted by July 27 if there are any questions or concerns about your schedule. Please keep in mind that while you should strive to create a schedule that reflects your academic interests and goals, should you change your mind about your schedule after July 17 you will have the opportunity to make changes during New Student Orientation and throughout the first two weeks of the semester during the drop/add period. You will also meet individually with your First-Year Advisor during New Student Orientation to review your schedule again.

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

SAGES First Seminar Course Selection

All first-year students will take a SAGES First Seminar during fall semester. After registering for all other fall courses during the registration period (July 12-17, 2012), you will be contacted in early August via CWRU webmail and asked to review descriptions of First Seminars that fit into your course schedule and identify those that appeal most to you. You will be enrolled in a First Seminar based upon your expressed interest and course availability. A list of available First Seminars will be made available on the New Student Checklist for you to view in advance of registration. Based on your interest in certain seminars, you may choose to arrange your schedule (if possible) to make a seminar available to you. However, it should be noted that this does not guarantee or increase the likelihood of being enrolled in a specific First Seminar; it simply makes enrollment a possibility. Some students will be placed in First Seminars designed to provide additional writing support. This placement will be made on the basis of test scores and the writing sample submitted on the New Student Checklist. As SAGES First Seminar provides a foundation for your subsequent educational experience, careful selection is critical to your satisfaction and success. Please review the following information and advice to prepare for your First Seminar selection process: Details You will be asked to make First Seminar course selections that accommodate the other academic courses that comprise your schedule. Although all First Seminars are interdisciplinary and share common goals, each seminar comes with its own unique course description. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ALL FIRST SEMINAR COURSE DESCRIPTIONS SENT TO YOU BY THE SAGES OFFICE. First Seminars are either Life of the Mind (FSCC) or topical. Topical First Seminars are categorized as Natural World (FSNA), Social World (FSSO), or Symbolic World (FSSY). You will be asked to make selections from both Life of the Mind and Topical First Seminar options. How to Make the Most of Your First Seminar Selections Student do better in courses that they find engaging so taking the time to carefully read the First Seminar course descriptions to identify those that most interest you is a critical step in your future academic success. Consider choosing topics that you have always been curious about, that you know nothing about, and/or you are passionate about. Your interest in and affinity for a First Seminar topic is much more important than the time of day that the seminar is offered. In college, it is typical and advisable to have breaks in your daily schedule without classes. Do not feel that you have to choose a seminar to fill a hole in your schedule. Choose seminars that speak to you regardless of the time of day. These courses are not designed to be connected to specific academic majors, minors, or programs, so you do not need to find seminars that you feel are related to your intended major. Varsity Athletes Please choose First Seminars that end by 4:00 p.m. as most practice times begin at 4:30 p.m.

Enhanced Course Opportunities

Case Western Reserve University offers enhanced versions of two types of courses. Please read the descriptions listed below. Enhanced course opportunities are not required or preferred for a major. Invitations are required and will be sent via students CWRU webmail account in early July. Participation is completely voluntary. MATH 124 Calculus II and MATH 227 Calculus III MATH 124 is an alternative to MATH 122, while MATH 227 is an alternative to MATH 223. MATH 122 is the regular second semester course in the standard science and engineering calculus sequence. Calculus of a single variable is covered. MATH 124 also covers calculus of a single variable but is taught with more emphasis on the underlying theory. Students taking this course should have a high level of computation proficiency and a willingness to be challenged. Having a well-grounded theoretical understanding of the first semester (MATH 121 or equivalent see the course description on the Schedule of Classes) of single variable calculus is a plus. MATH 223 is the regular third semester course in the standard science and engineering calculus sequence. Calculus of several variables is covered. MATH 227 also covers calculus of several variables but with more emphasis on the underlying theory. The material is covered in more depth and includes some linear algebra. Having a wellgrounded theoretical understanding of single variable calculus is a plus. The enhanced calculus sequence is intended to provide superior preparation to strong prospective math, science and engineering students with an in-depth understanding of complex phenomena. The enhanced math sequence covers the same material in MATH 122 and 223 but covers these topics in greater depth with an emphasis on the underlying mathematical concepts. If you have questions about these courses or would like help deciding, you may contact Professor Chris Butler (chris@case.edu). Pre-requisites: Invitation only. Invited students with AP, IB or transfer credit for MATH 121 may register for MATH 124. Invited students with AP or transfer credit for MATH 121 and 122 may register for MATH 227. PHYS 123 Physics and Frontiers PHYS 123 is an alternative to PHYS 121. PHYS 123 is the first of a two course sequence in the "enhanced" introductory sequence. PHYS 123 is an option for students who are interested in physics, possibly but not necessarily as a major. A central goal in this class is to learn to "think like a physicist", to cultivate methods to solve a wide range of problems. In addition to the standard Newtonian dynamics, the course incorporates a series of frontier lectures on topics in modern physics such as fractals and chaos theory, cosmology, and relativity. As in PHYS 121, there is an associated series of laboratory experiments, with certain experiments especially tailored to the special topics covered in PHYS 123. Students who have earned AP credit for PHYS 121 will give up that credit if they opt to enroll in PHYS 123; PHYS 123 is designed to make this an attractive option for students interested in physics. Further details about this course option can be found at http://www.phys.cwru.edu/courses/p123. Pre-requisites: Invitation only. Students who have successfully completed calculus and physics during high school and who have demonstrated a strong mathematics background on standardized entrance exams will be considered for invitation. Students planning to pursue a Physics, Math and Physics, and/or Engineering Physics major are especially encouraged to consider enrolling in Physics 123.

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.

Recommendations for First-Year Students with an Interest in Attending Law School

Curriculum and Majors Law schools do not require or prefer one major over another. Law schools are looking to build a diverse class with students coming from varied backgrounds, interests, and experiences. Law schools do not expect applicants to follow a set curriculum. There are no specific classes that law school applicants need to complete prior to matriculation. Strong candidates are intelligent and motivated students with strong communication and analytical skills who have taken classes focusing on a variety of subjects. Although many undergraduates pursue majors commonly associated with law school such as Political Science, History, and Economics, an equal number pursue different majors in fields as diverse as English, Engineering, Biology, Art History, Psychology, Sociology, and Accounting. Some pre-law students choose to major in a discipline closely aligned with the type of law they are interested in pursuing. For example: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Studies, Geology, Environmental Geology for students interested in environmental law. Engineering or science majors for students interested in intellectual property law. Accounting, Management, Statistics, Mathematics or Economics for students interested in corporate law, tax law, and/or white collar crime. Psychology or Sociology for students interested in family law, juvenile law, childrens rights, and defense or prosecution of crimes. Bottom line pursue your passion, study hard, hone your communication, research, and analytical skills, and you will be a strong law school applicant. How do I prepare for law school? According to the Law School Admissions Council (or LSAC), Law schools want students who can think critically and write well, and who have some understanding of the forces that have shaped the human experience. These attributes can be acquired in any number of college courses, whether in the arts and humanities, the social sciences, or the natural sciences. An undergraduate career that is narrowly based or vocationally oriented may not be the best preparation for law school. As long as you receive an education including critical analysis, logical reasoning, and written and oral expression, the range of acceptable college majors is very broad. What counts is the intensity and depth of your undergraduate program and your capacity to perform well at an academically rigorous level. The American Bar Association (www.abanet.org/legaled/prelaw/prep.html) recommends that law school applicants familiarize themselves with several areas of knowledge. Each of these areas is an important component of the general education requirements available to all students pursing any undergraduate degree at Case Western Reserve University. A broad understanding of history, including the various factors (social, political, economic, and cultural) that have influenced the development of our society in the United States. A fundamental understanding of political thought and of the contemporary American political system. Some basic mathematical and financial skills, such as an understanding of basic pre-calculus mathematics and an ability to analyze financial data. A basic understanding of human behavior and social interaction. An understanding of diverse cultures within and beyond the United States, of international institutions and issues, of world events, and of the increasing interdependence of the nations and communities within our world. Law schools look for prospective students who have the following attributes and skills: Intelligence Sound judgment Demonstrated academic ability, motivation, Strong problem-solving skills Significant personal initiative and persistence Strong analytical skills, written Demonstrated leadership abilities Self-confidence communication skills, organizational skills, Demonstrated concern for others and oral communication skills Independent and original/creative thinking Energetic Emotional maturity ability Research experience

Recommendations for First-Year Students with an Interest in Study Abroad

The Study Abroad Program at Case Western Reserve University provides a unique opportunity for students to personally experience another country, its culture, customs, people, and language. There simply is no substitute! Students who study abroad develop important transnational competencies that can be of great interest to professional and graduate schools, as well as future employers. It allows you to learn about yourself and your home culture through exposure to new ways of thinking and living that encourage personal growth and independence. Regardless of academic interests, study abroad is open to all students at Case! Students in engineering, management, sciences, humanities, arts, and social sciences are eligible to participate in various programs. Nursing offers its own study abroad experiences. Each year, a number of students spend a semester or year at universities throughout the world. Some of the countries in which students have studied include: Argentina Australia Austria Brazil Chile Denmark Dominican Republic Egypt France Germany Ghana Hungary India Ireland Israel Italy Japan Kenya Korea Nepal The Netherlands New Zealand Russia Singapore South Africa Spain Sweden United Kingdom

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.

Recommendations for First-Year Students Interested in Research Opportunities

Why Consider Research? As a new student at Case Western Reserve University, you have joined a research-intensive community with a historic tradition of involving undergraduates in research and creative endeavors. Regardless of your major or academic interests, there are numerous opportunities to engage in research either on campus with CWRU faculty or elsewhere during the summer. Although a few students may have already participated in research through summer programs at a local university or in private industry, many of you may not have even considered engaging in such opportunities during your undergraduate career. Regardless of your past experience, there are a number of reasons why you should consider becoming involved in research endeavors during your undergraduate experience and it is never too early to begin exploring opportunities! Participation in undergraduate research and creative endeavors offers you the opportunity to connect with the academic community at levels the classroom experience does not provide. Engaging in research will allow you to create mentoring relationships with individual faculty members and can be the gateway to developing a professional network that will open up opportunities for you whether you continue in graduate and professional studies or enter the workforce. Research projects also allow you to integrate academic theories learned in the classroom with practical experiences at a deeper and more meaningful level. In addition, these endeavors can enhance valuable workplace skills such as verbal and written communication, teamwork, and adaptability. Finally, participating in research at the undergraduate level is an excellent way to distinguish yourself when it comes time to apply for graduate and professional schools. Beginning the Search for Opportunities The SOURCE (Support of Undergraduate Research & Creative Endeavors) Office is the place to start your exploration of the numerous on and off-campus opportunities for undergraduate research that are available. Be sure to visit SOURCEs web page this summer at http://www.case.edu/provost/source/opp/ in order to learn more about the variety of opportunities that might be available in your academic area of interest. In the fall, plan to attend one of the many information sessions that will be conducted by SOURCE to provide you with additional information on the process of becoming involved. Be sure to check the First-Year Student Newsletter that you will receive on a monthly basis for times and locations of information sessions throughout the fall semester.

To-Do List for First-Year Students with an Interest in Undergraduate Research

Review the SOURCE website at http://www.case.edu/provost/source/opp/ to learn about the various on and off-campus research opportunities available for undergraduate students. Analyze your schedule and think about the commitments you want to make both academically and socially at CWRU to determine how research might fit within your other responsibilities. Work on defining a schedule that will help you achieve success and then determine which type of research opportunities will fit. Attend a SOURCE information session during the fall semester to learn more about undergraduate research opportunities. Be sure to check the First-Year Student Newsletter and the The Daily for times and locations. Attend lecture and presentation series sponsored by departments and schools at Case. These series will provide a picture of what research is currently being conducted at CWRU and the national level by faculty and students. The SOURCE office can help learn about these opportunities. In November, begin to check the SOURCE website for summer research opportunities at Case and elsewhere. Application deadlines for summer positions begin in December and go through March. Use the Winter Break period to seek positions that you might want to pursue for the summer. Sometime during your first year, make an appointment with Dr. Sheila Pedigo, Director of SOURCE (Sears 451; 216-368-8508) to discuss your research interests and opportunities you have identified.

University Physical Education Requirement & Varsity Athletics

Two semesters of Physical Education are required for graduation. This is a non-credit University requirement. Each student may select the particular activities s/he wishes from the selections listed below. Full semester courses have 100-level numbers (e.g. PHED 130 Wellness). Activities with numbers below 100 are half semester activities (e.g. PHED 10A - Cardio Games). Activities offered during the first half of the semester have an (A) after the number; activities offered during the second half of the semester have a (B) after the number. Varsity athletes should register for the varsity sport course that corresponds to their sport [Spartan Marching Band, if taken for 0 credit hours, may be used to fulfill the physical education requirement]. Activity-appropriate clothes should be worn to class. Plan to include such items in your wardrobe. Try to include at least one full semester activity or two half-semester activities in your fall schedule. Selection of your academic courses should be completed first. Most activities are offered at a variety of times and days. Varsity Athletics Students interested in participating in varsity athletics should communicate with a member of the coaching staff prior to registration. Contact information for coaches can be found on the specific team page at http://athletics.case.edu/landing/index . Students participating in varsity athletics may use one year of varsity activity to fulfill one semester of the physical education requirement per year. All varsity sports teams meet Monday through Friday, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. and/or as arranged.

Ordering, Purchasing, and Obtaining Your College Textbooks

One of the most important tasks you need to accomplish in order to ensure a successful first semester is to secure your textbooks and other assigned readings. Although most professors will not expect you to have completed any reading assignments for the first day of class, it is important that you acquire the required texts for a course during the first week of classes as course lectures and discussions may focus on assigned readings as early as the second meeting of the class. You should have all of your textbooks by the end of the first week of classes. Considerations When Ordering and Purchasing Books There are numerous sources from which you may be able to obtain required course readings that provide you the opportunity to compare prices, delivery methods, and refund and resale options. However, no one source for purchasing books will necessarily meet all of your needs and preferences. Issues you will want to consider when it comes time to purchase your books include: From where do you want to obtain your textbooks? What are the differences in cost among available options? If shipping is involved, how long will it take? Will you have them for the first week of classes? Do you want to buy new or used books? Does the condition of the book matter to you (e.g., writing in the margins, underlining text, highlighting sections)? What is the availability of the book? Is there a risk the supplier will not have enough copies to meet demand, which could result in you not being able to obtain the book on time? Do you anticipate keeping the book after the class or do you want to sell it? What if you change your mind? What is the refund policy for returned books that are not used (e.g., you drop a class during the second week of the semester and never use the book)? If you decide to rent your books, rather than buy them, does the rental period match your need for the book? Are you allowed to write notes in the book or highlight sections of it? What media formats are available (e.g., e-book, Kindle, iPad, etc.)? Does the distributor have the correct edition of the book? Case Western Reserve University Bookstore The CWRU Barnes and Noble Bookstore is located on campus at 11451 Euclid Ave. The bookstore opened in Spring 2012 and has all the supplies necessary to prepare you for your first semester at CWRU. The CWRU textbook section in the bookstore is located on the second floor. You can also visit the store on-line at www.case.bncollege.com. As a Barnes & Noble College Bookstore, you can use B&N gift cards to purchase your textbooks on-line or in the store. The primary advantage to using the CWRU Bookstore is that no shipping is involved; you can simply pickup your textbooks when you arrive on campus. The bookstore works directly with your professors to make sure they have the correct copies and editions of the books assigned for their classes. Purchasing options at the CWRU Bookstore include: 1. New Textbooks can be a good investment. Further, you can potentially get money back if you sell your book back to the bookstore at the end of the term. 2. Used Textbooks can save you up to 25% compared to new books. The bookstore has a large selection of used books that are still in good condition, but they tend to run out quickly. These books can also be sold back for cash at the end of the term. Plus, buying used books is friendly to the environment. 3. Digital Textbooks are available in some instances. These books are the same ones you see on the shelves, just in a different format. Its a great option for those who want to lighten the load of their backpacks, who want to save money, or who want to decrease their impact on the environment. 4. Renting Textbooks can save you over 50% compared to new books. If shopping in the store, just look for books with a Rent Me sticker on them. Students can pay for rental books with cash, credit card, Barnes & Noble gift cards, or Case Cash; however, a credit card will need to be on file to ensure you return the textbook. Rented books can be marked up with notes and highlighted. Students must be 18 years of age to rent textbooks. To order books from the CWRU Bookstore online, there are several options available to you. One option is through SIS. Once you register for your classes through SIS, click the Order My Books link found at the bottom of the My Class Schedule page. This link will take you to the bookstores website, where you can see the list of books you need for each class. The other option is to go directly to the bookstores website at www.case.bncollege.com. Once on the site, it will ask you to make your course list. After you have entered all of your courses, hit View Textbook List. The list will tell you what books are required, recommended or optional for each class. When you are finished selecting which textbooks you would like to buy new, buy used (if available), buy digital (if available), or rent, add your selected items into your shopping cart. Review your items and when youre ready to submit the order, you can choose to have them delivered to you by UPS or choose in store pickup and pick them up at the Bookstore when you arrive on campus 53

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.

Placement and Proficiency Examinations

Mathematics Placement Math placement at Case Western Reserve University is made on the basis of several indicators. First, Case Western Reserve University offers a math diagnostic that assesses preparation and skill levels in pre-calculus as a means of determining readiness for enrollment in calculus. The math diagnostic is available through the New Student Checklist at http://studentaffairs.case.edu/My/Orientation/ . Students must complete this hour-long placement test on-line by July 1. However, students majoring in Nursing are exempt from the math placement test and it will not appear as an item on their New Student Checklist. Students who do not have the math diagnostic as an option on their New Student Checklist but feel that they should take the diagnostic should contact and ask to be given access to the math placement. Students who meet certain criteria (earned at least 650 SAT or 28 ACT math scores) are exempt from the math diagnostic. Math placement may also be influenced by earned AP, IB, and transfer credit. Students who have earned credit for MATH 121 or MATH 125 are also exempt from having to take the math placement. Information about AP and IB Equivalencies can be found on pages 55-58. Modern Language Placement Although there is no University language requirement, all students are encouraged to continue or to begin the study of a foreign language. Students wishing to participate in Study Abroad in a nonEnglish-speaking country may want to enroll in foreign language study in their first year (see p. 40). Native speakers of languages other than English may not enroll in courses in their native language without special permission from Undergraduate Studies and the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures. Students should follow the guidelines listed below when developing their schedules this summer. Final placement in foreign language courses will be determined after placement testing during the orientation and/or during drop/add period. Students enrolling in Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, or Russian should make their best guess at placement and then attend a class meeting to talk further with the professor about placement issues. Years of Study in High School 0 years experience 1 2 years of experience 2 3 years of experience 3 4 years of experience Equivalent College Level Language Course 101 level 102 level 201 level 202 level Students who have studied French, German, or Spanish and want to continue in the language must take the Web CAPE language placement exam, a computerized placement exam. The CAPE test, which usually requires 15-30 minutes, must be taken prior to registration for fall semester. The placement test is accessed through the New Student Checklist: http://studentaffairs.case.edu/My/Orientation/ Writing Sample All students must complete the online writing sample provided on the New Student Checklist at http://studentaffairs.case.edu/My/Orientation/ by July 1st. Further instructions on completing this task are provided on the New Student Checklist. The writing sample is an important part of your First Seminar placement and will be provided to your First Seminar professor so that s/he has a sense of your reading and composition skills. This writing sample will not be graded, nor will it earn you Case Western Reserve University credit, or appear on your official transcript. However, the writing sample will be used to determine if, and what type of, additional writing support you might need. You do not need to prepare for this writing sample. Proficiency Examinations for Case Western Reserve University Course Credit Proficiency examinations allow students to receive credit for a Case Western Reserve University course by passing an examination for that course. These examinations are optional, and are intended for firstyear students of high ability who have taken advanced work in high school (beyond the normal high school level) or who have studied a subject independently, but who may not have had the opportunity to take AP or IB exams, or did not earn transfer credit for a course. For students passing proficiency exams, credit will be indicated on the transcript by the symbols PR. No letter grade is given and proficiency credit does not count toward the GPA. Chemistry Proficiency Examinations Wednesday, August 22, 1:00 p.m 3:00 p.m., Clapp 201 This exam is recommended for students who have had two or more years of chemistry in high school but did not take the AP Examination or IB Examination in Chemistry. Examinations will be given for CHEM 105, CHEM 106, and CHEM 111. Students who wish to take a proficiency examination in chemistry must register by email (michael.kenney@case.edu), at least 24-hours in advance with Professor Mike Kenney.

59

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).

Financial Aid Awards

All first-year students who have applied for financial aid should have received notification of their eligibility and, if applicable, a financial aid award via US Mail sent to their home address. Subsequent revisions are viewable on-line at financialaid.case.edu under My Financial Aid -> Awards by Term. An e-mail is sent to the student with a link to the on-line award whenever a revision is made. All students must accept the award for the funds to disburse. On-line acceptance is available at financialaid.case.edu under My Financial Aid->Accept Your Awards. If you have applied for financial aid, but have not received notice, please call or e-mail the Financial Aid Office at (216) 368-4530 or financialaid@case.edu. Scholarships, grants, and loans are credited against tuition and other direct charges at the beginning of each semester in equal installments upon acceptance of the award. Notification of any outside scholarships or grants must be submitted to the Office of University Financial Aid Office upon notification of the receipt of the award. Information on the application process for student and parent loans is mailed early in the summer to students home addresses. Students and parents must complete additional documents to borrow Federal and private loans. Students receiving Federal College Work Study and/or Federal Direct Loans as part of their financial aid package must attend an informational workshop scheduled during the New Student Orientation. The Office of Student Employment is located in Room 412 Yost Hall and is always available to assist students with the job search or other employment-related concerns. All first-year students with Federal Work Study awards listed as part of their financial aid package will receive the CWRU Student Employment Application and tax withholding forms via US Mail prior to New Student Orientation. A Federal Work Study Job Fair is held at the beginning of the fall semester to assist students with a Federal Work Study award in finding employment. At the conclusion of the Job Fair, all available jobs will be viewable to all students at the Job Opportunity Bulletin Board System for Students (jobbss.case.edu). PLEASE NOTE: A FINAL HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT CERTIFYING GRADUATION MUST BE ON FILE IN UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS BEFORE FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID CAN BE RELEASED TO RECIPIENTS. ANY STUDENT FOR st WHOM SUCH DOCUMENTATION HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED BY SEPTEMBER 1 WILL RECEIVE A REMINDER AND A FORM TO SUBMIT TO HIS/HER HIGH SCHOOL.

Academic Standing Policy

Good Academic Standing and Academic Probation Academic standing comprises two elements: credit hours earned at CWRU and grade point average (GPA). To maintain good academic standing at the end of the first semester of full-time enrollment (enrollment in at least 12 credit hours at the end of the Drop/Add period), first-year students must earn at least 9 credit hours with a 2.000 GPA. In all subsequent semesters, students must earn at least 12 credit hours with a 2.000 GPA. Students who do not meet the minimum requirements for good academic standing will be placed on academic probation at the end of the semester. While on academic probation students may NOT: 1. Take classes as a transient student at another institution unless given deans permission in advance. 2. Represent the university in intercollegiate activities. 3. Hold an elective or appointive office or committee chair position in any campus organization. Academic Separation Students on academic probation who fail to return to good standing at the end of the subsequent semester are eligible for separation for at least two academic sessions, including the summer session. First semester, first-year students who earn fewer than 9 credit hours AND less than a 1.000 GPA will be eligible for academic separation without first being placed on academic probation. Beyond the first semester, a student is eligible for separation without a semester of probation for either of the following reasons: 1. The students semester grade point average is less than 1.000; OR 2. The student has not earned at least 9 credit hours in that semester. Students who are eligible for academic separation will be asked to prepare a statement explaining the difficulties that interfered with their ability to earn a satisfactory academic record. The Academic Standing Board will decide to separate the student, or to place the student on academic probation or continued academic probation, based upon a review of the students statement and academic record. A student who is academically separated can be considered for re-enrollment after the period of separation by petition to the Office of Undergraduate Studies. Ineligible To Register Students will be declared "ineligible to register" when they have Incomplete grades which if averaged 63 as F make them eligible for academic separation. Such students will be required to finish the incomplete courses with grades that justify their retention before they will be permitted to enroll in the subsequent term. Students Who Were Previously Separated A student who has been readmitted from academic separation will be held to the same academic standards as outlined above (e.g. a full time student who earns fewer than 12 credit hours with a GPA between 1.000 and 2.000 will be placed on academic probation). A second academic separation under the above standards will ordinarily be permanent. Part-Time Students A student who registers for a part time semester will be in good academic standing if he or she earns a semester GPA of at least 2.000. A student who fails to meet this GPA standard will be placed on academic probation. Part time students are not eligible for academic separation without already being on academic probation, but become eligible for academic separation if they fail to earn good academic standing for two consecutive semesters. A full time student placed on probation who subsequently enrolls as a part-time student will not be reviewed for further academic action until she or he has completed sufficient semesters to total at least 12 attempted credit hours. At that time, the student will be reviewed on the basis of a composite of those semesters. Similarly, a student who goes on academic probation as a part time student will not be reviewed for further academic action until she or he has completed sufficient semesters to total at least the number of credit hours attempted in the semester for which the student was placed on academic probation. At that time, the student will be reviewed on the basis of a composite of those semesters and will be expected to have earned at least the number of credit hours attempted in the semester for which she or he was placed on academic probation. Summer Enrollment At CWRU Students will not be reviewed for academic action at the end of the summer term except in the following two situations: 1. A student on academic probation as of the end of the spring semester will be returned to good academic standing at the end of the summer term if she or he has completed at least 6 credit hours at CWRU with a summer GPA of at least 2.000. 2. Nursing students who enroll for a full course load (at least 12 credit hours) that includes the capstone course during the summer term will be reviewed according to the standards of a regular fall or spring semester.

Criteria for Scholarship Retention

Full-Tuition (Andrew Squire, Albert W. Smith, and Alexander Treuhaft), University, Michelson-Morley STEM, and Bolton Scholarships The academic records of scholarship recipients are ordinarily reviewed at the end of each semester. To have a scholarship renewed for the following semester, the student must be in good academic and disciplinary standing. Evaluation of student records for scholarship renewal will take place at the end of each semester. In exceptional circumstances, the Academic Standing Board will continue a scholarship for a student whose achievement or whose attendance does not meet the standards outlined above. It is the students responsibility to write to the Academic Standing Board, c/o the Office of Undergraduate Studies, within 7 business days of the end of the exam period each semester to request special consideration for continuation of a scholarship. This appeal should inform the committee of any special circumstances which may have affected performance and/or attendance during the preceding academic year, provide any relevant documentation, and describe a plan for how academic performance will be improved in the future. Students who lose their scholarships because of unsatisfactory academic or disciplinary standing will have their scholarships automatically reinstated at the start of the next semester if they return to good standing. However, students lose a semester of scholarship eligibility for each semester that they fail to achieve good standing; that is, students will not receive these scholarships while on probation or during their first semester back from an academic separation, and the maximum number of semesters for which they can receive their scholarships will be reduced. Other Scholarships Awarded by Case Western Reserve University Recipients of scholarships other than the ones listed above should refer to their scholarship award letter for specific scholarship retention criteria. Duration A student who meets the standards for scholarship retention may receive scholarship assistance for no more than eight semesters of full-time undergraduate study (less any semesters lost due to falling out of good academic or disciplinary standing, as described above). The scholarship is awarded for full-time enrollment in regular (fall and spring) semesters. A scholarship recipient who does a complete withdrawal during a semester will have used up a semester of scholarship eligibility, but will be eligible to receive the scholarship again when he or she next enrolls, provided that his or her leave of absence does not last more than one semester (as described below). If a scholarship recipient completes a bachelors degree in fewer than eight semesters of full-time study at Case Western Reserve University, the scholarship will be terminated upon completion of the degree. In the eighth semester (or in the final semester for a student completing the bachelors degree in fewer than eight semesters), a recipient may request permission for part-time enrollment with pro-rated scholarship support if completion of the degree does not require full-time enrollment in that final semester. Semesters spent participating in the Cooperative Education program or on a Leave of Absence are not counted against a students eight full-time semesters of scholarship eligibility. Leave of Absence Policy A scholarship recipient may take a one-semester leave of absence during the students undergraduate career and put his/her scholarship on hold for reactivation upon the students return to Case Western Reserve University. Requests for a onesemester leave of absence must be submitted in advance to the Office of Undergraduate Studies. Requests for leaves of absence longer than one semester must be submitted to the Academic Standing Board and will be reviewed on an individual basis. A scholarship is automatically terminated upon a student's transfer to another institution or upon permanent separation from the university.

Advice from Upper Class Students to Consider as You Start Your First Year at CWRU

Academics Campus Living

Sleep!!!! Set ground rules with your roommate. Buy rain boots! Take advantage of free food and other free stuff, someone is always giving something away. Get a loud alarm clock (or 2 or 3). Bring half as much as you think you need. Youll end up collecting tons of stuff by the end of the year. Cleveland winds eat cheap umbrellas for breakfast - go big or get wet. Learn how to do laundry. Find the free printing areas. Greenies run late on the weekends. Check out Safe Ride/Escort Service. Bring a fan for the first few weeks of school. It can get hot. Office hours arent scary. Go to them! GO TO CLASS!!!!!!! Sometimes you need to leave your dorm to study. It is easy to study abroad, but plan ahead. Take one class that you know nothing about or that your parents would hate. Time management is SO IMPORTANT, so learn and practice it. Its never too early to start studying/writing that paper. Mediavision is NOT an excuse to skip class. Take advantage of ESS. SI sessions and tutors really help. Use them! College writing is different from what they teach you in high school. Learn how to use the library system, both the building and online. Learn how to find a research position. Be more proactive instead of reactive when it comes to classes. Buy a planner and use it so you dont miss important events/deadlines. Dont procrastinate. Explore multiple options for purchasing textbooks but get them by the first week of classes.

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.

Food for Thought

NEVER be afraid to ask for help! Its okay to take your time to find yourself and what you want in life. Do things outside of your comfort zone. Keep an open mind about everything. Be open to others. Branch out. College is definitely harder than high school. A balanced life = success. You have to be PROACTIVE, and this applies to everything! Youre used to just being handed things in high school, but when youre here, you have to go out and do things. Research positions, job ops, becoming a student leader- Its not all just a popularity contest anymore. Everyone wants to help, just ask. The best way to be happy is doing what you love, not what you think you should be doing. Students play an active role in shaping the University. You dont have to do everything. It is OK to say no. Upper class students are incredibly helpful. When you do go home, listen to your parents.

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!

When Youre Ready to Declare

Major Declaration Process

Most students declare a major by the end of their first year. However, students still in the process of exploring academic options are not required to declare within this time frame. It is important to recognize that in order to have a successful and engaged first-year experience, all first-year students should work toward the clarification of academic interests. All students must declare a major before their fifth semester of enrollment, but first-year students who are ready to declare a major may begin to do so on November 1, 2012.* If you change majors later on, that's fine -- many students do change (or add) majors as they discover new interests. It is also okay to change your mind later and "undeclare." If you are truly undecided, continue to explore, talk with your advisor and other faculty members, and use the resources of the Career Center (Sears 206, 368-4446). So long as you are actively engaged in exploring your interests and in making decisions, you can declare after your first semester. You should not be concerned about making a wrong decision about declaring a major. The best decision to make is an informed decision, so be intentional about talking to people, reviewing information, and understanding requirements. The advantage of declaring a major is the close and formal connection that is established between students and academic departments. That being said, all students are encouraged to seek advice from faculty in departments for which they have an interest regardless of major declaration status. The following steps outline the process of declaring a major : 1. 2. 3. 4. Obtain the Major Declaration Form** (pictured below) in the Office of Undergraduate Studies, Sears 357 (also available in the Wade Commons), and take the form to the academic representative (pp. 75-78) in your intended major for his/her signature and assignment of a major advisor. All students must indicate when they entered CWRU (e.g., August 2012) and their student status (e.g., first year, transfer, binary). Your intended graduation term and year must also be enteredit is okay if this date changes in the future. Students interested in Pre-Medicine/Pre-Dentistry and/or Pre-Law should be sure to mark the respective boxes on the declaration form. Once completed, bring the yellow copy of the form to the Office of Undergraduate Studies, Sears 357. The declaration of major is not official unless it is submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Studies.

* Entering Nursing students do not have to declare their major. ** A separate form must be completed for each major declared.

Enter intended graduation term and year at time of major declaration Enter Pre-Professional Interest in addition to your Major

List of Department Representatives available on pp. 126-128

The process for declaring a Minor is the same as the major declaration process. A separate Minor Declaration Form must be completed for each minor declared. Students cannot declare a minor until they declare a major. 74

Exploring Academic Options

Exploring Academic Options First-Year Schedule Development Recommendations

Students who are undecided about their choice of major and who are exploring their academic options should try a variety of courses that facilitate the investigation of interests and fulfill SAGES General Education Requirements. The structure of the schedule listed below is meant to serve as a starting point to develop a first-year course schedule. The sample schedule provides significant flexibility for the exploration of various interests while also meeting specific degree requirements. Students should refer to the relevant SAGES General Education Requirements for each of the schools listed in this guide to determine which courses will meet requirements for the academic areas of greatest interest. For example, if a student knows he or she plans to major in the College of Arts and Sciences, but has not selected an academic field, the student should create a schedule of courses with the General Education Requirements for the College of Arts and Sciences in mind. Specific course options available to first-year students can be found in the First Year Course Offerings listed in this guide. For more information on the exploration process, students may review the Determining an Academic Focus and the Major and Career Exploration sections of this guide. During the Fall Semester, students should also plan to consult with their First-Year Advisors, Department Representatives (pp. 75-77), and visit the Career Center for assistance in exploring academic interests and opportunities. Schedule Development Instructions: Students should plan to enroll in courses totaling 14-17 credit-hours in the first semester. This will ordinarily mean 3 or 4 academic, credit-bearing courses, in addition to First Seminar. The following schedule development recommendations are based upon the assumption that students have not earned any college credit as a result of AP or IB test scores or transfer credit. Students with AP or IB credit should consult the AP and IB Course Equivalences on pages 55-58 to determine appropriate course placement. For example, students with an AP Calculus BC score of 5 will earn credit for MATH 121 and MATH 122 and should enroll in MATH 223. Students placed in MATH 120 may NOT enroll in PHYS 121 or 123 or MATH 121 or 125 concurrently. Students interested in pursuing enhanced courses in math and/or physics should review the course descriptions and registration information found on page 34. Please note that enrollment in enhanced math and physics courses is limited and by invitation only.

Case School of Engineering First-Year Schedule Development Recommendations

The Case School of Engineering offers students a variety of majors and research areas. However, all Engineering degrees share a common experience the Engineering Core. The Engineering Core requirements provide students with a foundation in basic mathematical and engineering principles and the scientific methodology to solve complex engineering problems. In addition, the Core introduces students to the humanities and social sciences and facilitates the development of strong communication skills. The first-year schedule for students pursuing an engineering discipline is fairly structured. As you review the sample schedules, you will notice that many sample schedules look alike, and that all include fundamental Core courses. Also, you will notice that there are several introductory courses offered in the fall that you might want to consider if you are seeking to clarify and/or explore your interest within a specific engineering field. Some of you may not be completely committed to Engineering as a major and may want to have greater flexibility in your schedule. If you feel that you fall into this category, feel free to create a blended schedule, including courses from the Engineering requirements, as well as other courses of interest. If Engineering is at least a possibility, we recommend that you include MATH 121 (or other calculus course, according to placement) and CHEM 111 in your fall semester schedule. Schedule Development Instructions: Students should take four or five academic, credit-bearing courses (including First Seminar) in their first semester totaling no more than 19 semester hours, though some majors recommend fewer than 19 semester hours. The schedules presented here are recommendations only and, so long as prerequisites are adhered to, can be adjusted as needed based on academic interests, earned credit, and course availability. However, it is important that all students interested in pursuing Engineering as a major complete the following courses by the end of their third semester: CHEM 111, ENGR 131 (or EECS 132 if you are interested in Computer Engineering or Computer Science or the Biomedical Computing and Analysis track of the Biomedical Engineering major), ENGR 145, MATH 121, MATH 122 (or MATH 124), PHYS 121 (or 123), and PHYS 122 (or 124). The following schedule development recommendations are based upon the assumption that students have not earned any college credit as a result of AP or IB test scores or transfer credit. Students with AP or IB credit should consult the AP and IB Course Equivalences on pages 55-58 to determine appropriate course placement. For example, students with an AP Physics C score of 5 will earn credit for PHYS 121 and should enroll in PHYS 122. Students placed in MATH 120 may NOT enroll in PHYS 121 or 123 concurrently. Students in this situation should enroll in ENGR 131 instead of PHYS 121 or 123. Students interested in taking Organic Chemistry in their second year to fulfill Pre-Med or Major Sequence requirements should consider including CHEM 113 Principles of Chemistry Lab in either the fall or spring semester of their first year. Students interested in pursuing enhanced courses in math and/or physics should review the course descriptions and registration information found on page 34. Please note that enrollment in enhanced math and physics courses is limited and by invitation only. NOTE: ENGR 131 Elementary Computer Programming is a course that most Engineering students take in their first year at CWRU. EECS 132 Introduction to Programming in Java is a programming course taken in the first year by students pursuing majors in Computer Engineering or Computer Science or the Biomedical Computing and Analysis track of the Biomedical Engineering major. Many students with prior programming experience find it useful and helpful to take ENGR 131 or EECS 132; however, students with extensive computer programming experience, but who have not earned credit for EECS 132, may wish to take a proficiency test. Proficiency tests for both ENGR 131 and EECS 132 will be offered on August 22, 2012. To qualify for proficiency examination credit for a course, the students examination performance must demonstrate knowledge and skills at a level no lower than that of an average student who successfully completes the course. Upon notification from the academic department, the Office of Undergraduate Studies will post credit for the course on the transcript. If interested in taking a proficiency exam in computer programming, please review the details on pp. 5 - .

Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing First-Year Schedule Development Recommendations

One of the unique characteristics of the CWRU Nursing program is that students gain clinical experience in their first year. In light of this, Nursing students have very specific knowledge sets and experiences that they must include in each semester schedule. You will see that your first-year schedule is very structured. You will be involved in clinicals, nursing courses, biology courses, SAGES seminars, physical education (including the required CPR/First Aid course), and General Education Requirement courses. The following schedule development recommendations are based on the assumption that students have not earned any college credit as a result of AP or IB test scores or transfer credit. Students with AP or IB credit should consult the AP and IB Course Equivalences on pages 55-58 to determine appropriate course placement. For example, students with an AP Biology score of 4 or 5 should not enroll in BIOL 114; those with an AP score of 4 will earn credit for BIOL 114, while those with an AP score of 5 will get credit for BIOL 200-TR and will be able to count this in place of BIOL 114 and use it as a pre-requisite for subsequent courses. For more information about the BSN program in the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, please visit the department website http://fpb.case.edu/BSN/index.shtm. Schedule Development Instructions: Nursing students will be pre-registered for their first semester Nursing and Biology courses prior to course registration. DO NOT DROP OR REPLACE THESE COURSES. Only students with AP, IB or transfer credit for the first semester Biology courses may select replacement courses. Students should make course selections in the following areas for the fall semester, keeping in mind that pre-registered Biology and Nursing courses will occupy certain time blocks during which other classes cannot be scheduled (e.g., BIOL 114 occurs MWF, 11:30 a.m. 12:20 p.m., therefore, courses offered during this time cannot be taken): 1. Arts and Humanities or Social Science General Education Requirements 2. Physical Education activity course(s) or Varsity Sport During the fall semester, students will work with their advisor to register for the required Nursing and Biology courses for the Spring Semester and to make course selections in the following areas: 1. University Seminar selection 2. Physical Education activity course(s) or Varsity Sport Fall Semester Courses FSCC/FSNA/FSSO/FSSY 100-level First Seminar *NURS 110 Foundations of the Discipline *NURS 111 Foundations of the Practice *BIOL 114 Principles of Biology *BIOL 116 Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology I Arts/Humanities or Social Science course *NURS 277 BCLS and First Aid for Health Care Providers (as one halfsemester of PHED credit) Total Hours

Weatherhead School of Management First-Year Schedule Development Recommendations

Weatherhead School of Management offers degrees in both Accounting and Management (See the College of Arts and Sciences for the Economics major.). The sample schedules listed below demonstrate, that while there are key courses that should be included in the first year, students interested in these majors also have a great deal of flexibility in building their first and second semester schedules. Students considering these majors should, at a minimum, enroll in MATH 125 and ACCT 101. For more information about undergraduate programs in the Weatherhead School of Management, please visit the department website http://weatherhead.case.edu/undergraduate/. Schedule Development Instructions: Students placed into MATH 120 will include that course the first semester and MATH 125 in the second semester. Conversely, students with AP, IB or college credit for Calculus I may register for Calculus II in their first semester and OPRE 207 in the second semester. Students interested in pursuing enhanced courses in math and/or physics should review the course descriptions and registration information found on page 34. Please note that enrollment in enhanced math and physics courses is limited and by invitation only. Students should try to include a University Seminar in their second semester. However, students may defer their two University Seminars until the second year. The following schedule development recommendations are based upon the assumption that students have not earned any college credit as a result of AP or IB test scores or transfer credit. Students with AP or IB credit should consult the AP and IB Course Equivalences on pages 55-58 to determine appropriate course placement. For example, students with an AP Calculus BC score of 5 will earn credit for MATH 121 and MATH 122 and may enroll in OPRE 207. Students should plan to enroll in courses totaling 14-17 credit-hours in the first semester. This will ordinarily mean 3 or 4 academic, credit-bearing courses, in addition to First Seminar.

College of Arts and Sciences First Year Schedule Development Recommendations

The College of Arts and Sciences offers majors in fields ranging from Art Education to Physics and Classics. As you review the sample schedules below you will quickly recognize the significant flexibility that exists. While some of the studio and performing arts and the sciences have somewhat more structure in their schedules, students pursuing interests in the College of Arts and Sciences usually are able to design a schedule that both meets their needs and allows them to explore a variety of interests. The sample schedules listed below are meant to serve as a starting point to developing your first year course schedules. Each major lists certain courses that should be included in the schedule for students who are exploring an interest in that major. For example, students interested in a Biology major should include both CHEM 105 and MATH 125 (or MATH 121); and a student interested in Psychology, should include PSCL 101 in their first semester. Please note that the sample schedules listed below include only first majors as described on the Majors and Minors list outlined earlier in the FYI Guide. Schedule Development Instructions: Students should take four or five academic, credit-bearing courses (including First Seminar) in their first semester totaling no more than 19 semester hours, though many majors recommend fewer than 19 semester hours. The following schedule development recommendations are based upon the assumption that students have not earned any college credit as a result of AP or IB test scores or transfer credit. Students with AP or IB credit should consult the AP and IB Course Equivalences on pages 55-59 to determine appropriate course placement. For example, students with an AP Calculus BC score of 5 will earn credit for MATH 121 and 122 and may enroll in MATH 223. Students placed in MATH 120 may NOT enroll in PHYS 121 or 123 or MATH 121 or 125 concurrently. Students interested in pursuing enhanced courses in math and/or physics should review the course descriptions and registration information found on page 34. Please note that enrollment in enhanced math and physics courses is limited and by invitation only.

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.
