91原创

Who is my advisor? Every student is assigned either a faculty or professional academic advisor.听 You can view your assigned advisor and email them directly by logging into 91原创SIS. Your advisor will provide guidance for course selection, progress toward graduation, experiential experiences, and post-graduation planning.听

How often should I meet with my advisor? It is recommended that you meet with your advisor at least once a semester to discuss your academic plan, track your progress toward graduation, and to learn about opportunities in your field. Students who meet with their advisor at least once a semester tend to perform better academically.

Have a pressing advising question? 听Please reach out to your assigned academic advisor first.听 Then email CANR Undergraduate Student Services at anr-academics@udel.edu for additional assistance.

What constitutes an excused absence and how do I request one?听 First, please review 91原创's.听 If you have documentation for absences due to serious illness, short-term military duty, or death in one鈥檚 family, we鈥� can send an excused absence notification to your faculty. Please submit your request and documentation to anr-academics@udel.edu for review and approval.

I would like to take a course elsewhere and transfer it back to 91原创.听 How do I do this? 听See step-by-step instructions for to 91原创.This will explain whether you should submit a Transfer Credit Evaluation Request web form (you can find links to web forms in your 91原创SIS account) or if you should email a PDF of the paper version of the Transfer Credit Evaluation form to anr-academics@udel.edu.听 Please complete this process PRIOR to enrolling or completing the course you wish to transfer.听

I have a 3.2 G.P.A. and I haven鈥檛 heard about being on the Dean鈥檚 List.听 Is there a reason why?听 Full-time, matriculated students must earn a minimum of a 3.5 G.P.A. to receive Dean鈥檚 List recognition (or a minimum of 6 credit hours counting toward their GPA if they are designated as full-time students under the Office of Disability Support Services鈥� Reduced Course Load Policy).听 If a student has a temporary grade on their transcript (i.e. 鈥淚鈥�) they are not eligible for inclusion.听听

One of the most important responsibilities you have as a student is to track your academic progress each semester. Your听online degree audit, in听Stellic, is the primary tool to assist you in determining your academic progress toward graduation. This tool allows you to clearly see which degree requirements you have fulfilled and which you still need to complete. In other words, if something is listed as 鈥渘ot satisfied鈥� on your audit, you will not be cleared for graduation. All requirements on your degree audit must be satisfied to receive your diploma. Please see your academic advisor with any questions you may have.听

Junior Check-In: Countdown to Graduation!听

You鈥檝e been working hard and before you know it Senior year will be here. Here are some reminders and suggestions to help you as you plan for your final year.听 Read the information below and check off each item as you complete it.

• Confirm that the following are correct in 91原创SIS: graduation term, major(s), concentration(s), minor(s).听 If any of these are incorrect, complete the Change of Graduation Term form or Change of Major or Minor form located in 91原创SIS.

• Make an appointment with your assigned advisor to review your degree requirements and plan your final year of coursework.听 Where applicable, meet with your minor advisor to review minor requirements as well.

• Be sure to follow the degree requirements for the year you entered the university.听 If you entered in Fall of 2019, follow the 2019-2020 Catalog, not the 2021-2022 Catalog.

• Use your degree audit in 91原创SIS to track your academic progress.

• Double check that you are taking approved courses for breadth and major requirements.听 Course substitutions are rarely made.听 However, if a substitution is warranted your advisor must submit a Course Substitution Form for approval by your academic department.听 If approved by the department the substitution will be reflected in your degree audit.

• Confirm that all transfer work and test credits (AP/IB) are posted to your 91原创 transcript.听 Transfer courses require a completed Transfer Credit Evaluation Form and receipt of an official transcript from the institution where you took the course.听 For more information visit:

• Complete any coursework for courses with a Sustaining (S) or Incomplete (I) grade.听 You must have a permanent grade (A-F) for graduation.

• Confirm that your mailing address and phone number are accurate in 91原创SIS so that you receive important mailings and your diploma.

COMMON ERRORS THAT PREVENT ST91原创ENTS FROM GRADUATING:

• DON鈥橳 take a transfer course without submitting the Transfer Credit Evaluation form and confirming that the credit(s) will count toward your degree

• DON鈥橳 wait until the last minute to submit paperwork to have transfer credit posted to your 91原创 transcript

• DON鈥橳 count ENGL 166, 266, etc. as credit for ENGL 110.听 Only 91原创 ENGL 110 or courses approved by the English department will fulfill this requirement

• DON鈥橳 double count credits.听 If you repeat a course the credits only count one time.听 Also, if you use one course to fulfill two requirements the credits only count one time.

• DON鈥橳 count non-credit bearing courses toward your total credit count, i.e., MATH 010

• DON鈥橳 choose 91原创 Breadth Courses from the same subject area, i.e., you can only use a HIST course for one Breadth area, not two.听 The same goes for cross-listed courses, i.e., if a SOCI course is cross-listed with HIST and you have already used a HIST course, you cannot count the SOCI course

• DON鈥橳 forget to check minimum grade requirements.听 Some majors require a C- or higher in major courses.听 All 91原创 Breadth courses and ENGL 110 require a C- or higher

• DON鈥橳 forget your GPA.听 You need a 2.0 cumulative GPA to graduate

• DON鈥橳 forget to earn the required total number of credits.听 All CANR majors require between 120-124 credits to graduate. Check your catalog to determine your required number of credits.
