The note A in the class schedule indicates a Mandatory Attendance course a student who fails to attend either the first or second class session(s) risks losing his/her seat to someone on the waiting list. The online class schedule is at http://classes.uoregon.edu When putting your schedule together, remember to check for prerequisites. In most cases, the prerequisites for courses have been programmed into the registration system. If you have trouble registering for an open course, check the prerequisites to make sure that you meet them. Some courses require instructor s consent or departmental approval. Don t repeat courses for which you have AP, IB or transfer credits. Be sure you understand your appropriate placement for WR, MATH and foreign language courses. After you have completed registration, check your schedule on DuckWeb to make sure that you succeeded in registering for the courses you intended. We recommend printing it out in matrix format. Timing is everything Final exams Note the information on final exams at the end of this handout. As soon as you re registered for your courses, you can figure out what your final exam schedule will be. Remember that changes in your class schedule often result in changes to your final exam schedule. Don t make end- of- term travel plans until your class schedule is complete. Professors do not reschedule final exams to accommodate plane reservations. I. Pre- major journalism courses: J 100 Media Professions 2.00 cr. J 101 Grammar for Communicators 2.00 cr.

We want to make sure that you don t have several finals back- to- back on the same day. If necessary, you can adjust your schedule now to give yourself a reasonable final exam week. (After the add deadline each term, your final exam schedule will also show up on DuckWeb as part of your registration information.) This brochure is not intended to substitute for in- person academic advising or for the student s reading and familiarity with the contents of the UO Registrar s web site, the UO Catalog, and other advising materials prepared for journalism premajors and majors. Before you register for Winter 2015, you should study that material and meet individually with your assigned advisor in the School of Journalism and Communication.
Page 11 of 11 DuckWeb provides you with an up- to- date Degree Audit (see View Degree Audit on Student Menu) each term after you have earned credit. The Degree Audit enables students to track progress toward both major and general- education requirements. Students are encouraged to review their progress with a journalism advisor at least once a year.
