 Midyear Enrollee  credit hours (18)  % of degree Sample: PTD expectations Spring 2011 = initial enrollment  6 hrs Fall 2011 = 2 nd semester  6 hrs AND 18 hrs (Spring ‘11 + Fall ‘11)  24 hrs (total) Spring 2012  6 hrs AND 18 hrs (Fall ‘11 + Spring ‘12) Fall 2012 = 4 th semester  6 hrs  40%

 Midyear Enrollee Sample: PTD expectations, cont. Spring 2011 = initial enrollment Fall 2011 = 2 nd semester Spring 2012  Will need to meet 18 hrs (again)  Be aware of Fall course request  Will summer school be necessary? Fall 2012 = 4 th semester  Declare major by January  40% by January

 Previous Enrollment  repeated courses  duplicate courses Reviewing an isolated schedule can be misleading! Sample : Student-Athlete in 4 th semester ECON 2005 PSYC 2004 MATH 1526 SPAN 1106

Fall 2009 ENGL 1105 MUS 1104 TA 2014 ACIS 1504 Spring 2010 ENGL 1106 GEOS 1024 HTM 2454 HUM 2734 Fall 2010 ECON 2005 SOC 2004 MATH 1525 SPAN 1105 Spring 2011 ECON 2005 PSYC 2004 MATH 1526 SPAN 1106 Repeated Courses

Fall 2009 ENGL 1105 MUS 1104 TA 2014 ACIS 1504 Spring 2010 ENGL 1106 GEOS 1024 HTM 2454 HUM 2734 Fall 2010 ECON 2005 SOC 2004 MATH 1525 SPAN 1105 Spring 2011 ECON 2005 PSYC 2004 MATH 1526 SPAN 1106 Duplicate Courses

 Credits Toward Degree  minor  change major “Required” Courses ≠ Degree Applicable Credits toward minor. Credits required for intended major rather than current major.

Fall 2010 – MKTG major 12 credits = applicable to MKTG student passes 9 of 12 Spring 2011 – MKTG major student intends to switch to HTM student enrolls in 12 credits 6 credits = applicable to MKTG 12 credits = applicable to HTM Example: Change of Major

Fall 2010 – MKTG (9 hrs earned) Spring 2011 – MKTG (6 hrs) – HTM (12 hrs) What if student declares HTM in April? 6 hrs = met | 18 hrs = met (9+12) What if students declares HTM in August? 6 hrs = met | 18 hrs = not met (9+6) Example: Change of Major, cont. % requirement is based solely on major at time of certification (once/semester)
