    In a large university like Indiana University Bloomington, there are many policies and procedures that students encounter throughout the semester. It can feel overwhelming, but it’s important for students to understand how to navigate the processes that impact academic planning and schedules. 

    What Should I Take Next Semester? Enrollment Q and A webinar

    Description of the video:

    Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): All right, everyone. I think that is enough time waiting around. We can go ahead and get started, so welcome to our enrollment webinar. Today we're going to talk a little bit about planning and how to prepare for the spring semester. So introduce myself first. My name is Shawn Gasseling, I'm one of the academic advisors here in the Kelley undergraduate office. I'm joined today by three of my colleagues. You might recognize some of their names as your assigned advisors. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): There's Ben, Gayla, and Heather. They will be answering some questions that you have the option to submit using the Q&A option, it should be down at the bottom in your little Zoom bar. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): They'll respond to those. And if there are some important or popular questions that keep getting asked. Towards the end of this presentation there'll be a Q&A section where I will respond to some of those, or if there's anything else that is important or useful to bring up, we'll talk about it then, too, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): so we will go ahead and get started. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So what exactly is it that we are going to be going through today? We are going to check your degree requirements. Talk about what is the best way to ensure you are on the right track for your degree progress. Particularly if you are having a harder time getting into an advising appointment. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): or just want to prepare for an advising appointment, which is always a good place to begin. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): We also were going to go over how to best plan for your enrollment. And then, once that day actually comes where and how to actually enroll, how that process is going to go, and then we'll talk about some useful resources to keep in mind, to make it as smooth the process as possible, and then we'll have our Q&A. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So to get started, we'll talk about probably your two most important resources which are going to be the Kelley Bulletin and your academic advisement report. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): These two tools really are meant to be used in tandem together. for them to be, I think, as useful as possible. Your Kelley Academic Bulletin is gonna be where you can find a list of all of your degree requirements. So if you give me one moment we're going to Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): take a quick hop over to Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): One.IU.edu Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): because sometimes it can be a little bit hard to find the academic bulletin, so you can just search for it. make sure you find the IU Bloomington campus, and when you hit start it'll take you to all of IU's bulletins. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): You'll be able to scroll down to the Kelley School of Business and start , I recommend just picking from the beginning 2022. And then from here Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): This is where you can pick your degree requirements Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): your requirements for your specific majors, minors, and certificates. And then you also have the options to review some various policies and courses. When you're looking at these, you also will be able to pick the academic year that you started at IU. Your Bulletin changes each year depending on your admit term. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So students who began this year we'll use the 2022-2023 academic bulletin students who started last year 2021-2022. Usually there are not huge differences, but that is something to always be aware of. If you have questions always for free to check with us. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So using the academic bulletin, you can become familiar with your requirements, whatever it is you need to focus on next semester, whether it be your general education requirements, your I-Core prerequisites any other Kelley requirements. Or if you're ready to begin your major coursework Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): now, when you're using this , and you kind of have an idea of what it is you need to focus on the next tool. That, I think really does work best is your academic advising report. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): If you give me one moment I can full open my Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): to give you a bit of an idea. Hopefully, this is something You're all a little bit familiar with that you've seen. If you've been to an advising appointment, mine's going to look a little different. I'm gonna pull up kind of a fake one as if I were a Kelley student. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): But what's useful about this is It's going to break down all of your requirements, and it's going to show you exactly all of the credits you've accumulated. What requirements those are completing, and what requirements you still have outstanding, and it's going to break them up nicely into the main areas we really focus on. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So to begin, it'll tell you all of your general education requirements you have left to complete Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): your Kelley requirements, beginning with your I-Core prerequisites moving on to Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): your other Kelley requirements, such as I-Core, Ethics, Econ two, et cetera. And then, finally, whatever Major, you have declared, and as you update your Major, add Co Majors, add minors, it'll reflect in here as well. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): as you've noticed, this is Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): a little bit of an older looking system, so sometimes it can be a little confusing. So that's why it really is important to use in tandem with your academic bulletin just to make sure you're reading it correctly. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So let me hop back over to our Powerpoint, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): and we will Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): continue along. So Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): while the Academic Bulletin and the academic advising report are probably two of your most important resources. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Your student online advising record, I would say, is maybe one of your most useful resources. This is kind of as we've branded it. Your one stop shop for all your enrollment needs. It has just so much information that you can access, and it really has, just an area that takes you to all the tools you'll need. So Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): I'm going to give you zoom with lash I feel with the amount of sharing I'll be doing between the different screens. But give me one moment as we hop over here, too, so so are easily accessed through One.IU.edu as well Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): again can look at mine from. When I used to be a student it's blanked out now. But here is all the information that you'll be able to find your current GPA, your accumulated credits, and, importantly, your assigned advisor, how you can schedule an appointment with them. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Your enrollment date, which you should have had assigned a couple of weeks ago , very important to note and keep an eye on, and then this area of quick links where you can find your academic advising report. You can find access to your student center, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): your iGPS plan, and again, how to schedule an appointment. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): I'm sure some of you have had the chance to use both Student Center and the iGPS plan Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Both, I think, are great tools for planning your spring schedule or whatever your next semester schedule is some prefer iGPS. The Student Center, however, is the one that we ultimately end up in, because it is where your final enrollment will happen. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): And so you'll always see that here Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): as a quick look in your academics tab or under your enrollment, tab within your shopping part, and that's how you'll finalize anything through. iGPS whenever you click that big enroll button that we see over here. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): It'll just move it to your shopping cart right in the Student Center, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): so hopefully that is nothing too new in the way of how to work through enrollment. But Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): enrollment itself is kind of a bit of a difficult process, so let's spend a little bit more time talking about that. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So enrollment planning. There's several different things that we really think are important to keep in mind as you're preparing for enrollment. Most importantly is that enrollment date. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): It is so important that you enroll on time, or as close to on time as possible to ensure that you are able to get your spot in those degree requirements that you need to continue progressing in your degree. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): as we saw you can find your enrollment dates in Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): your Student Online Advising Record. And so it's also in your Student Center. And you also received an email about it at the beginning of this month. so it's definitely out there. It's very easy to find. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Keep it handy, and know that date and be ready for it. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): That is going to help make sure that you get the classes you need , and that we're not scrambling to try and find progress to make. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): A couple of important things to know about that. It is not something that we can change Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): the enrollment dates are assigned by the Registrar's Office, and they have assigned those dates based on accumulated credits, so that, ideally is seniors enrolling, first to ensure that they can graduate and moving on line with junior, then sophomores. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Additionally, if you see this mentioned from their email, it will call it an enrollment appointment is not an actual appointment. Please do not show up to our office at that date and time. We will not Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): able to do anything with you right then. There we will tell you to please leave, and please quickly enroll as close, enroll as fast as possible. It is just the time that you become eligible to enroll Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): There is technically no finite deadline, though the actual early registration period will end November 20th. That just means Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): during that time period, that is, the time when people's enrollment dates, pop up and you can't enroll. Until that period passes Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): until classes begin next semester. Anyone can continue looking at classes making the ads or drops and adjustments as they please. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Going forward other important things to keep in mind check for hold on your account. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Many holds can prevent enrollment. So even if you are doing everything you need to and are ready if you have a hold on your account, some popular ones are the vaccination and immunization holds. , Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): if you are a senior and you have not declared your intent to graduate. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): That will create a hold on your account. So that is something you need to have resolved to. Some of these holds can take a few days to , be taken care of and removed from your account, so it is important to not wait as well and get those taken care of as quickly as possible. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So once we've got those kind of more logistical things to do. Then you can begin creating your plan like we mentioned you can use. iGPS now to start creating your schedule of the classes that you want to take. . You can use that to move over to your shopping cart and have them wait there. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): The one thing that we want to keep in mind is that Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): if you create your schedule too early, and you get too attached to it, might make it a little bit harder when your enrollment date comes, and some of those classes have filled up. So one thing you might want to think about is having that flexibility. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): You can create your ideal schedule beforehand, but just be prepared to check again a day before, and probably even an hour and fifteen minutes before, just to make sure that all those sections are still available, and that they haven't filled up at the last moment, and if it looks like seats are running low. Try to have a plan B or even C in your shopping cart, prepared as well to make sure that we can enroll in open sections guarantee that degree progress, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): and then we can figure out how to join, wait lists, or get our way into something that's maybe a little bit more preferred. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Finally, while you are making those plans, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): always be sure to check the class notes for classes. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Here is where you'll find very important information, such as , whether a class is reserved for a specific population, you'll find there, if it fulfill specific general education requirements. Sometimes it will Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): give you information about an application being needed to enroll in the class or specific modes of instruction. Lots of useful information, usually contains the answer as well. If you're unable to enroll in the class, so be sure to check those. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): One final note is specifically for some of our first year students I know over the summer. We had pre-enrollment for your "BUS" courses, and is not something that continues into the spring. You get to choose now the time for, your other two "BUS" courses to complete your first year prerequisites. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Continuing on Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): we want to talk a little bit about the actual enrollment process and the order of operations that is kind of necessary to follow. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So one enroll on time Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): missing your enrollment dates can really lead to missing out on some of the open classes that you need so trying to enroll as close on time as possible, and trying to enroll in something, even if you haven't had a chance to meet with an advisor, or even if you're not entirely sure what to enroll in. It's always easier to Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): work with whatever you have than it is to build up from nowhere. So Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): make sure you get started on that and enroll when your enrollment date comes around. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Then we want to guarantee that degree progress. So if you see open sections, please do go ahead and enroll in those open sections first. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): If you have a preferred professor a preferred time or section. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): That is fine. You can have that in your shopping cart, and you can have that ready to join a wait list. But, we want to join the open section first and use the drop-if-enrolled options with the wait list Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): talking specifically about some of these wait lists. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Waitlist does not mean that you are enrolled, or that you're guaranteed to be enrolled. That's why it's important to jump on those open sections. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): They are what is most important, and if it is something that is not ideal or not preferred, there is the drop. If enroll option that you can set up to automatically swap the classes for you when a spot opens up Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): to guarantee yourself maybe not quite guaranteed, but to give yourself the best chance of getting into a preferred section or just a section in general, if they're all full, please do waitlist multiple sections. The more options there are, the more likely you are to get into a class, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): and if you are looking into course, work like electives for a major or certain I core prerequisites. If you have other options that you're holding off on till other semesters Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): be flexible with those. As well keep some of them as a backup, even if you wanted to wait to take with a friend or wait to take with a certain professor. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): if getting , if getting that in now is a way to ensure degree progress. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): That may be what we need to do. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): The other important thing about waitlist is that they are totally normal. and that it happens a lot. A lot of it is so we can more accurately manage our enrollment. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): And joining those wait list is how we can one manage the data of who needs what and to have an idea of where we need to, make adjustments. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So if we see that all sections are full, and that there's still lots of students on a wait list that lets our enrollment management know that something needs to be done. So, joining, wait list. Lets us know that we need to help you more as well. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Another popular question as we move on that Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): comes up with a bit of our older students who remember the pandemic is the optional winter session that started a couple of years ago. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): During the winter session there are some classes that are offered between December 19th, and February 2nd. During this time. You can enroll in classes, and they will be considered part of your spring enrollment. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): While you are enrolled in these classes there will be 100% online, though they may be synchronous or asynchronous. S , you'll want to check that to make sure that you are able to make that commitment Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): particularly over that winter break. when a break is sometimes really nice and necessary after a fall semester. So take stock of that and keep in mind if it's going to be best for you. Moving forward. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Note that there are no "BUS" courses that are offered. So you're not going to be able to make degree progress with Kelley requirements. However, there are Sometimes IUB GenEd courses offered, you may find something for minors, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): but also there are just plenty of elective options. If you are looking to gather more credits, for example, for accounting students who want to reach 150 credits for the CPA for other students who maybe a couple of credits short of sophomore junior standing. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): These offerings are limited, so I would recommend looking over them early and getting an idea of whether it's a good fit for you or not. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): because they are part of the spring semester. You cannot enroll in them until your spring enrollment date. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): When you're looking for them. You will see that there is a winter term that is just for graduate students. The spring term is what is going to be a part of, but you can use the session filter to specifically look for the winter session, and that's how you can find those classes much more easily. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So just a quick review of everything. Remember to check your degree requirements using the course bulletin the Kelley Academic Bulletin and your academic advisement report. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Make sure you are starting to plan early, have an idea of what it is that you want to be completing next semester having an idea of how those classes are going to fit together. And then, as your enrollment date nears, starting to put them into your shopping cart and build an actual schedule Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): double-check that you are able to enroll in those classes. You've met the prerequisites, and then on your actual enrollment date, you will make sure you are in the student center to finalize that enrollment. And at any time during this process, if you have any questions Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): we are always here to answer them. But we definitely want you to keep in mind quite a few of these helpful resources. the Kelley Student Portal is going to have information for our advising office. So anytime you need to connect there connect with us. You can find that information there. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): If you're having some trouble joining wait lists or managing The Student Center itself, the student center videos are these amazing, quick short tutorial walkthroughs that tell you exactly how to set up a wait list with the drop-if-enrolled option, for example. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): if you're hoping to explore minors, or maybe even a dual degree, the explore programs on One.IU.edu is a great tool that has a list of all of our minors. It gives you recommendations of beginning courses. If they fulfill general education requirements, it'll even link you to their department website. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Finally, one of the other resources that I think, is really really great is the OCQ student dashboard at the end of every semester. Your instructors often ask you to fill out an online course questionnaire to get feedback to the class and instructor Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): last year, I believe, is when this came out. But, you can now find all that data aggregated, and it is searchable. So you can look up courses and see how students have Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): reviewed the instructor in class and get an idea of what might be a good fit for you, or what types of courses may fit well together and balance well together. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Finally a shameless plug. We all also encourage you all to follow our Kelley advising Instagram. We're not trying to be stars or anything, but we do share lots of very useful information oncoming deadlines, useful resources. Things like that. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Finally, just want to touch again how to connect with our office. I know right now it is a very busy time of year, and that is gonna continue. And so it seems like it can be really hard to set up an appointment with advisors. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Every most advisors caseloads go out two weeks, so every two weeks there's new appointments that open up. So if you look tomorrow morning, you'll find appointments, I believe, for November 3rd whatever that Thursday is. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So if you're having hard time finding things just check every morning for about two weeks out. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Everyone does have an assigned advisor, and you're welcome to continue working with them. But at this point, too, we are all equally trained well, so , if you can just meet with whoever students available that also works Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): definitely feel free. If you have some other quicker questions to reach out to your advisor or email BUSADV@indiana.edu. And if you're having trouble Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): figuring something out on your own and setting up an appointment. Our drop-ins are available now 11-2 Monday through Friday. You can drop by our office or join via Zoom as well, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): and I believe that brings us to the end. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): One thing to note this video will be sent out. So if you found it useful, and you have some friends who did not attend or could benefit from this. Tell them to keep an eye out we will be emailing it close to your enrollment date Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): It will also be located on the student portal as well. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): let me take a look at some questions and see if we had something pop up. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): I don't know Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): some good questions. , if you are looking to enroll in a class, and you don't yet meet the prerequisite. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): One thing we do take into consideration with everything are your classes that are that you currently have in progress. So we are optimistic. We assume you are going to complete the class and do well, too. So Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): if that is the case, you will meet the prerequisite. So when you are enrolling . Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): If that is the intended plan, then you are able to enroll in those courses. So if you have fifteen credits from AP, for example, as a first year student, and you're completing fifteen credits in your first semester. That would give you sophomore standing, the second semester. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Let me take a look as well Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): checking for holds. I don't know if it pulled it up specifically on our advising records, but for the second page is where you can always see your holds as well as in the student center, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): and Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): BUS courses over the summer. Yes, so we don't offer those during the winter, but many of your I-Core prerequisites and some major courses are offered over the summer. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): they don't necessarily count toward freshman year or toward sophomore year in terms of a specific semester, and making sure that you're at full time that semester summer is its own semester. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): and Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): that just counts towards that on its own. But you know, if that is something that Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): you maybe did not have time to complete your first year, and that is something you want to take advantage of over the summer. That's a great option. That is one thing I always tell students to talk with an advisor about is making sure that summer course work is in your best interest. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): And what your goals are for taking summer course work. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): let me take a look as well Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): my advisor does not have any appointments available, so Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): drop-in appointments are great if you need immediate help. But two weeks out is when you'll be able to find appointments available with your advisor. That is how our appointment scheduling works is Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Appointments go out two weeks in advance. So if you can't find anything, if you check tomorrow morning, you will find new appointments for the new day, two weeks in advance. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): When is it a good time to add your Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): courses from the cart and iGPS over to student Center? Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): A good question. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): I don't know if there's really a bad time, I would say, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): as you get closer to your enrollment, date and I would say whatever Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): to consider whatever system. You also have an easier time searching for classes in If you are all planned and ready. As we get closer to your enrollment date you can hit enroll to move all your classes to your shopping cart, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): and then, as things Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): maybe fill up, and you need to find alternatives, you can just look in. The student center through the class search to find replacements or alternatives. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): if you prefer using iGPS, you can just keep going back to iGPS making adjustments and clicking that enroll button again, and just moves you over to the student Center shopping cart. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): I recommend waiting until a day or two before your actual enrollment date. Just so, you don't get to attach to the perfect schedule. But if you are a plan A type, a planner, and really like to set those up you can go for it, and that stuff fills up. You can set them aside for Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): ideal wait lists. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): : let me take a look at some other questions Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): a lot of questions about summer course work as well. So summer courses are typically six weeks, and , the summer is typically broken up into two six week sessions. The sessions usually start immediately after the finals week of spring. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): so it's. usually the second week of May. Continue six weeks, and then the second six week. Session starts and continues usually till the end of July. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): They do not overlap with the school year Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): either the spring or the summer Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): A lot of these courses will Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): that have historically been offered online the last couple of years, and Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): I think that is the intention for next to summer. But we'll all find out for sure next March. That is, when the summer schedule is released, and that is when we'll know for sure what I-Core prerequisites or major courses will be offered. But historically, and I think the intention is to be able to offer these classes online. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Now, these courses are six weeks, and they're originally usually sixteen week courses, so they are accelerated, and they do require quite a commitment. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): I remember some of the ones in particular. I have seen them meet four or five days a week for two hours at a time, so it is quite a commitment to do any summer course work. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): What should I take if Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): I have all my remaining, I-Core prerequisites, but not a full schedule. Look at your other Kelley requirements business ethics, and ECON-B 252 Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): foundations for business economics are not, I-Core prerequisites but they are Kelley graduation requirements to be done at some point before your four years or graduation arrives, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): ECON-B 252 requires ECON-B 251 as a pre-requisite. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Ethics requires junior standing and BUS-L 201 as a prerequisite. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): outside of those , Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): I would encourage students to start looking into some major or minor exploration. Some majors do require, I-Core as a prerequisite to beginning, notably finance. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): But other majors often do have one or two options for beginning that beginning some course work before I-Core. So that could be a great question Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): to ask an advisor, or to explore on your own through the academic bulletin under the major requirements. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): What happens if I miss my enrollment date? Nothing happens in terms of what do we do. But what happens is classes continue to fill up Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): so every fifteen minutes. It is a new batch of enrollment dates so every fifteen minutes that you miss, I think, during the business day is a new group of student second to enroll, and that is more opportunities for the seats that you need to be filled up. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So if you do miss your enrollment dates as soon as you remember that you've missed it. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Try to enroll as soon as you can in the classes that you think you need or know you need, and then meet with an advisor to talk about what you need to do going forward next. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): What that means is quite a few wait lists and quite a bit of patience. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): It looks like questions are slowing down. So let me see if there's any last questions that up here. Otherwise we may be Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): getting ready to wrap up. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): With enrollment coming, please make sure if you have transfer credit of any kind, whether that's dual credit from high school AP credit or just transferring in something from an outside institution. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): , especially if it is a prerequisite for something else that you need to take it IU, you will need to have that in Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): in order to enroll in the next course, or you'll have to find the correct permission to request whether that's through a department through a form so make sure you do that. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): , typically that is, by ordering your official transcripts from that outside institution, or requesting your AP scores, be sent to our office. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): You can find more information on our student portal under our transfer guidelines. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): final question. I see that I think can be useful. Is, what is a goal for next semester? Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Typically, I recommend students aim for around fourteen to sixteen credits. This semester fifteen average that usually gives them a little bit of flexibility. If the semester starts and they run across an issue with a certain class. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): It's a GenEd that is absolutely not your speed, you at least have twelve credits if you need to drop it while you look for another one. It also keeps you on track to reach one hundred and twenty credits by the end of your eighth semester. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): And I think generally as long as students are making progress with about fifteen credits on average that can keep students usually open for the possibility of a major and some kind of co-major, minor, maybe double major Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): as long as you plan accurately and proactively with your adviser. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): There are a couple of other questions being answered by my colleagues. Is there some that we have addressed in other questions? Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): So one final call, Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): if anything shows up. Otherwise I think we will be wrapping up our Webinar today. Thank you all so much for attending again. We'll be sending this out if you need a refresher when your enrollment date arrives otherwise. , tell your friends about it hopefully. It wasn't too bad. Shawn Gasseling (he/him/his): Thanks again, have a great rest of your fall Semester.
