I. A or B grade Prerequisite for Creative Writing Workshops Students must receive an A or a B in a Survey of Forms (SOF) class to be eligible to enroll in a beginning workshop course in the same genre. A student who receives a C in a SOF course may enroll in a workshop of that same genre only with the permission of the workshop professor. A student who receives a D or R in Survey of Forms may not take a related workshop. Students may, however, retake the SOF course with the goal of earning an A or B. Any SOF course taken for a second time will count as general elective credit toward graduation but not in place of any requirement for the student s degree in English. II. Double Counting Courses from other Majors or Minors Courses counted toward a major or minor in the EBA, CW, PW majors may NOT double count toward a major or minor in another department. This policy holds even when the other department is willing to double count a course taken for an English degree for a degree in its department. In other words, all courses counted toward the degree in English must count only for that major. Example: Mechanical Engineering may be willing to count a course taken to fulfill an English degree as a breadth requirement for a Mechanical Engineering degree. Under our policy, such a course may count for one or the other but not both. The only exceptions to the double counting policy are the mathematics, statistics, and computer science prerequisites and the technical communication and natural science/engineering electives for the TWC major. These may double count towards a major and minor in another department. TWC core requirements and theory/specialization courses, however, may not. For these courses the standard no double counting policy applies. Courses counted towards your major in English; however, can be double counted as general education requirements. You may double count up to two courses in this way. Students minoring in English may use Interpretation and Argument (76-101) and one other course from their minor to fulfill general education requirements. III. Additional Major vs. Dual Degree A Dual Degree is defined as more than one undergraduate degree granted by the university (whether simultaneous or sequential). One diploma is awarded for each degree, and each degree has one primary major. An additional major and/or minor may be added to either degree. Dietrich College undergraduate students who wish to earn an additional undergraduate degree from one of the Dietrich College primary majors must: Satisfy all requirements for the primary major to be linked to the additional degree. Complete at least 90 units beyond the total units required for the first degree. If the major associated with the additional degree requires less than 90 units, the student would need to earn additional elective units to reach the 90-unit minimum. If the major associated with the additional degree requires more than 90 units, the student would exceed the 90-unit minimum in order to fulfill all of the requirements for the additional degree s primary major. Comply with CMU's Statute of Limitations: All units required for an undergraduate degree, whether earned in residence, transferred from another institution or granted via advanced placement, must have been earned within eight (8) years prior to the date on which the degree is granted. Page 1

Non-Dietrich College undergraduate students at Carnegie Mellon who wish to earn an additional undergraduate degree from one of the Dietrich College primary majors must complete all of the requirements listed above, plus all of the Dietrich College general education program requirements (with the sole exception of the Dietrich College Freshman Seminar requirement). IV. Additional Majors within the Department How do I declare an additional major in English? Speak with the Coordinator of Curriculum and Undergraduate Programs in the Department of English, Jen Loughran. It is also encouraged you talk with an advisor to be sure you understand the requirements and get advice on how to sequence your course selections so that you can finish both degrees. Which English majors can be combined for an additional major? English majors may combine any two English degrees for an additional major within the department. However, Professional Writing (PW) and Technical Writing (TWC) majors cannot have an additional major in PW or TWC because so many of the required English courses overlap. Which English courses double count for both English majors? One Survey of Forms double counts for both majors. Example: B.A. in English and Creative Writing. The English Electives also double count for both majors, as long as the courses being used as English electives are not also used to complete major requirements and you complete the number of English Electives required by the degree with the higher number. Examples: A double major in the BA in English (EBA) and Creative Writing would need to take the four English Electives required for CW rather than the 3 required for the EBA. Required courses for one English major may NOT count as English electives for the second English major. Example: If you are double majoring in Creative Writing and the BA in English, you cannot count the second SOF course needed for your CW degree as an elective for the English BA. Similarly, if you are a double major in PW and CW, you cannot use Argument or one of the advanced professional writing courses as an elective for CW. Example: Both the EBA and PW have a Rhetoric Course Requirement. The Rhetoric course taken for one may NOT double count for the other. In other words, the student would need to do two separate rhetoric courses. How many additional English courses do I need to take to do an additional major? Please see outlines on next page. If you wish to combine the TWC degree with either the EBA or the CW degree, you will need to do an additional 9 courses for either additional degree because the TWC degree does not include English electives.

V. English Electives & the Literature and Text/Context Requirements Two of the English Elective courses for CW and PW majors must be in designated Literature (for CW) or Text/Context (for PW) courses. A list of courses being offered each semester that fulfill the literature and text/context requirements is included in the What Counts for What document available from the English Department. English electives beyond the two literature and text/context requirements can be chosen from among all courses offered by the English Department except for 76-201, 76-205, and 76-206, which are intended as GenEd courses. Students who combine the EBA with either CW or PW need not include two literature or text/context courses among their English Electives but may choose all of their English Electives from all courses offered by the department except 76-201, 76-205, and 76-206 VI. Graduation Requirements To graduate from Dietrich College H&SS, you must meet ALL of the following requirements: You must complete 360 units of credit and have an overall QPA of 2.0. You can count a total of 9 units of physical education, ROTC, and STUCO courses combined as part of your total units. You must meet ALL of your Dietrich College H&SS General Education requirements and have them show up as completed on your record. You must complete ALL of the specific requirements for at least one major within Dietrich College H&SS. If you are completing your requirements after May commencement, you may petition to walk. Please contact Jen Loughran in BH 259 to submit your petition. Undergraduates will be considered only if all of the following conditions apply: 1. The student is on track to have less than 36 units to complete after Spring semester in order to fulfill graduation requirements. 2. Any particular courses needed to fulfill remaining graduation requirements are available to the student to complete no later than the following December. 3. The student must be in good academic standing. 4. This petition is submitted no later than the last class day before Spring Break of the semester in which the May Commencement ceremony involved occurs. 5. The student s academic advisor, program director (if applicable) and department head approves, seeing no other relevant factor to warrant denial. VII. Independent Studies Independent studies are designed to allow you to pursue areas of study that are not generally covered in regular courses offered by the department. To do an independent study, you must propose a course of study that is the equivalent of a regular 9 unit course and get a faculty member, preferably one with whom you have already had a course, to agree to supervise your work. Page 5

You and the faculty sponsor must define the scope and expected outcomes of the course and complete an Independent Study Contract (available in the department office) before you can register for the course. Independent studies are usually done for 9 units and counted as English Electives. In special circumstances, when the independent study is the equivalent of a required course for the major, you may petition to have the independent study count toward one of your English requirements. VIII. Internships for Academic Credit To do an English Department-sponsored internship for academic credit, you must be a junior or senior and have a 3.0 QPA in your English courses. If you are planning to do an internship and want to see whether it might qualify for course credit, contact James Wynn to determine whether or not your internship fulfills the necessary requirements. Course credit will only be awarded if you consult with James Wynn before you do the internship. It cannot be awarded to internships that have already been completed. Credit will be determined on a case-by-case basis once you have met with James Wynn. The number of units awarded will determine the tuition cost for the internship. Monetary compensation for your internship will be determined by your employer. Only one 9-unit internship for credit can count toward English degree requirements. Internships for credit generally count as English Electives but students in Professional Writing may petition to have them counted as an Advanced Writing/Rhetoric course. Both paid and unpaid internships can be used to earn academic credit. Credit for internships is not done retroactively. Students must enroll in the internship course at or near the beginning of a semester in order to do the internship for academic credit. IX. Course Auditing Auditing is presence in the classroom without receiving academic credit, a pass/fail or a letter grade. The extent of a student s participation must be arranged and approved by the course instructor. A student wishing to audit a course is required to register for the course, complete the Course Audit Approval Form, obtain permission of the course instructor and their advisor, and return the form to Jen Loughran in BH 259. Any student enrolled full-time (varies with each program) may audit a course without additional charges. X. Pass/Fail Approval Undergraduate students may elect to take a free-elective (this means the course cannot count towards your majors or gened requirements) course pass/fail unless precluded by the course, the course s department or the student s home department/college. A student must submit a pass/fail approval form to Jen Loughran in BH 259 indicating the course they are electing as pass/fail before the end of the university s drop period. This decision is irreversible thereafter. No information regarding the student s decision will be passed on to the instructor. Instructors will submit letter grades, which will automatically be converted to pass/fail. Students receiving a grade of A through D in a pass/fail course will receive credit for units passed and be recorded as P on the student s academic record; a grade below D work will receive no credit and will be recorded as N on the student s academic record.; P or N units will not be factored into the student s QPA.

XI. Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education Full-time Carnegie Mellon students may take subjects for credit through the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education (PCHE). The purpose is to provide opportunities for enriched educational programs by permitting full-time paying undergraduate and graduate students to cross-register for one course at any of the ten PCHE institutions. Carnegie Mellon students should not cross-register for a course that is offered at Carnegie Mellon during the semester unless the associate dean feels there are exceptional circumstances. Carnegie Mellon students who are registered for at least 36 units prior to adding a PCHE course will not have additional tuition charges, except for special course or laboratory fees for cross-registered courses. Carnegie Mellon students do not acquire status at the host institution but have library and bookstore privileges. Credit and grades are transferred directly to the home institution. Cross-registration applies to fall and spring semesters only. INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUTGOING CROSS-REGISTRATION: 1. Complete the cross-registration form in its entirety including all required course information as well as obtaining advisor and dean's signatures. Student's advisor and dean are responsible for assuring eligibility for the course in which the student intends to enroll. If student is registering for a course at the University of Pittsburgh, both the course number and the CRN number listed in their catalog should be included. If the class has a restriction or special permission requirement, the student must go directly to the University of Pittsburgh's offering department and request and complete an "Admission to Closed/Restricted Course" form. This form must be processed by the University of Pittsburgh's Registrar's Office in order to be registered into their student system. It is the student's responsibility to provide Carnegie Mellon's University Registrar's Office with a copy of the permission slip. 2. Students wishing to cross register for more than one course must have a letter of approval from their dean. Students enrolled in an approved joint program between two PCHE institutions are exempt from the requirement of being full-time at either school. This information must be indicated on the top of the cross registration form at the time the form is submitted to the University Registrar's Office. 3. Students in their final semester should not cross-register for classes. Due to various final grade submission deadlines of the other institutions, grades are often late and may delay degree certification. 4. Auditing - If students choose to audit a class, they must adhere to the deadlines set forth by the host institution. No exceptions will be granted. Also, students must submit a course audit approval form (available at the host institution) to the CMU University Registrar's Office within the first 10 days of class. 5. Pass/Fail - If students choose to take a class at the host institution, they must adhere to the deadlines set forth by the host institution. No exceptions will be granted. Also, students must submit a pass/no pass approval form (available at the host institution) to the CMU University Registrar's Office by the deadline in the Academic Calendar. 6. The Registrar's Office of the host institution will notify student regarding whether the cross registration request has been accepted or if special permission is required for registration. If the student attends classes at the host institution after notification without first obtaining written approval, the student will not receive credit. If the course doesn't appear on student's schedule within 10 working days, contact The HUB for resolution. 7. Once The HUB has received confirmation from the host institution of enrollment; student will see a temporary placeholder course on their schedule (i.e. UPITT, CCAC etc.). Before final grades are due, the place holder course will be removed and an assigned course number and title verified by the host institution will be entered on the student's schedule. 8. Carnegie Mellon students wishing to drop their cross-registration course, should contact Debra James, dj0y@andrew.cmu.edu. Students wishing to drop a course must adhere to the drop deadlines Page 7

set forth by the host institution. No exceptions will be granted. The University Registrar's Office will inform the host institution. 9. The host institution will report student's final grade(s) to the University Registrar's Office. Please be aware that final grade(s) may be delayed due to various academic calendar and grade processing schedules among PCHE institutions. PCHE institutions do not report mid-term grades. XII. Department of English Minor Only students who are not English majors may minor in English. An English minor involves 5 courses beyond the required freshman writing course. English minors can be done in Creative Writing, English Studies, Professional Writing, or Technical Writing Minors outside of English Students interested in doing minors in other departments should contact the H&SS Academic Advising Center in Baker Hall A57 for information and procedures. H&SS sponsors over 14 possible minors including minors in Film & Media Studies, Gender Studies, Multimedia Production, International Relations, etc. Minors are also available in other CMU colleges. XIII. Overloading & Normal Course Load A full-time student is required to take a minimum of 36 units (4 courses) to maintain full-time status. In order to graduate in the normal 4 years, students must generally complete 5 classes (45-50 units) per semester. During registration week, H&SS students are limited to registering for 5 courses (max of 50 units). The rationale here is one of fairness. All students should be able to register for the 5 courses they most want and need before any student is able to register for an overload. Note: The 50 unit limit does not apply to units for StuCo (98-xxx), PhysEd (69-xxx) or ROTC courses. Students should be able to add these units via OLR without their counting toward the 50 unit limit. Students who have both a cumulative and previous semester QPA of 3.00 or higher, with previous semester defined as last completed semester, are eligible to apply to have their maximum units increased to allow for a sixth course. Note, however, that eligibility does not necessarily mean that permission will be granted, only that the student is eligible to apply. Additionally, any increase in units that allows a student to register for a sixth course will take place only after, not during, registration week. Exceptions to the 5-course limit during registration week will generally be made only in very exceptional circumstances, e.g., for a senior in the last semester of coursework who must have 6 courses in order to graduate in that semester. One rather pro forma exception is the situation in which a student wishes, as part of a normal load of 5 courses, to take 2 courses of 12 units each, leading to a total of 51 units. This permission can be granted prior to or during registration week but still requires that a petition be filed. The H&SS reasoning behind setting the usual limit at 50 instead of 51 units is that 51 units would allow students to routinely take 6 courses (5 9- unit courses plus a 6-unit mini). To get permission to register for more than 50 units, eligible students must successfully complete all of the following steps: Have a semester and cumulative QPA of 3.0 Page 8

Complete the Petition to Carry an Overload for H&SS Students form downloadable from the H&SS website. Attach a current Registrar s transcript of all courses and grades to date (these can be downloaded from the HUB website) Meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies for the department to discuss the possible overload Approved unit increases can be entered into the OLR system anytime beginning on Monday of the week following registration week, after all students have had the opportunity to register for 5 courses. All petitions approved before the posting of final grades for the semester preceding the overload semester are subject to revocation if the student does not achieve a 3.0 or higher QPA in the semester preceding the overload semester. Advice on Completing the Petition: H&SS policy is generally conservative with regard to approving overload petitions Beyond listing the necessary 3.0 QPA, successful petitions should do all of the following o o o Explain how the proposed overload course will add to rather than detract from the student s full academic development Explain any extenuating or special circumstances Address H&SS concerns that the overload will NOT Overburden the student with demands of too many courses, resulting in less-thanoptimal learning and performance in each Prevent the student from actively participating in community and extracurricular events and in general the rich academic life of the university community available outside of coursework Leave the student no time for relaxation and personal reflection Because the Overload Petition provides only two short lines on which the student is to explain the reason(s) for the request, we recommend that the student develop a full rationale (probably 1-2 paragraphs) addressing all the concerns of the college as indicated above and attach this explanation to the petition. An exception here would be in the case of a petition for 51 units to allow the student to take 5 courses, 2 of which are 12 units each. In this case it is sufficient to provide this explanation briefly on the form. Advisors or students who have questions about specific overload requests or guidelines can consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the English Department or with Assistant Dean of H&SS Gloria Hill. XIV. Petitions for Exceptions to Policy or Requirements For Prerequisites for Creative Writing workshops, see A or B for CW Workshops on page 1. A number of English courses have prerequisites to ensure that all students in the course have a shared knowledge going into the class. Page 9

When you try to register for a course for which there are prerequisites, OLR will check to see whether you have had or are currently taking the courses designated as prerequisites. If you do not meet this condition, you will not be able to register for the course through OLR. If you are using a course you are currently taking as a prerequisite for a course next semester, you must pass the prerequisite course and meet any specific grade requirements in order to remain eligible to enroll in the course next semester. Instructors have the authority to waive prerequisites for their courses if you can demonstrate to their satisfaction that you have experience that is equivalent to the formal courses listed as prerequisite. To get instructor permission to have a prerequisite waived and be able to register, you must do ALL of the following: Consult the instructor and get her/his permission. It s a good idea to do this before registration so that you can register for the course in a timely manner. have the instructor contact the Academic Coordinator in the English Department in person or via e- mail to indicate that you have been given permission to waive the prerequisite On the day that you would normally register come to the department and see the Academic Coordinator to register for this specific course. You need to do this because OLR will not permit you to register for a course for which you do not have the prerequisite on record but the Coordinator can override this restriction and register you. Important Note: The Academic Coordinator must have oral or written permission directly from the instructor. No student will be allowed to register for a course under this provision without the instructor s direct permission. For EBA students, 76-294 Interpretive Practices is a pre- or co-requisite for all 300-level EBA core courses. Additionally, 76-294 is a pre-requisite and 76-394 Research in English Studies is a pre- or co-requisite for all EBA 400-level seminar courses. XV. Transfer Credit for non-cmu courses Transfer credit for courses students wish to have counted toward their English Department requirements must be approved in advance by the Undergraduate Studies Director. Students should complete and submit the appropriate forms before taking courses elsewhere. This applies to courses taken through study abroad programs, courses taken through cross-registration at other Pittsburgh colleges, and summer courses taken at other colleges or universities. XVI.
