[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: [CCB_Faculty_Staff] Study Card Pro Tips from Registrar's Office

by Marlon Cummings

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gonzaga, Carol <carol(a)chemistry.harvard.edu> Date: Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 11:40 AM Subject: [CCB_Faculty_Staff] Study Card Pro Tips from Registrar's Office To: #List-CCB-Gradstudents <gradstudents(a)chemistry.harvard.edu> Cc: "Lavin, Joe" <lavin(a)chemistry.harvard.edu>, #List-CCB-Faculty_Staff < faculty_staff(a)chemistry.harvard.edu>, "Anderson, Barbara" < banderson(a)chemistry.harvard.edu>, "Oakley, Katherine" < oakley(a)chemistry.harvard.edu>, #List-CCB-Faculty < faculty(a)chemistry.harvard.edu> Hello Everyone, Below for your information is a copy of a message pertaining to Study Card Pro Tips that Mike Burke, FAS Registrar, sent to all students. Best, Carol Carol Gonzaga Associate Director of Human Resources, Academic Affairs, and Administration Harvard University Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Cambridge, MA 02138 phone: 617-495-5696 email: carol(a)chemistry.harvard.edu Study Card Pro Tips The answers to your burning my.harvard questions may lie here! We have heard from many students, advisors, and faculty about their experiences with the new my.harvard. Thousands of people are successfully using the new system but since it is new to everyone I am writing with some frequently asked questions and useful tips. See the information below and be sure to visit the my.harvard Knowledge Center <http://about.my.harvard.edu/help>. The Registrar’s Office is here to help you. We are located on the 4th floor of the Smith Campus Center. You can also email us at registrar(a)fas.harvard.edu or call at 617-495-1543. Best wishes, Mike Burke Registrar of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Harvard University *I was blocked from enrolling in English or Math courses because of an enrollment limit!* - Try it again - Some courses had an incorrect enrollment limit and these have been fixed. If you try again you will be able to enroll successfully. *What if my advisor hasn’t signed my study card and I need to section or join a lottery?* - There is still time. You can request permission to enroll in a course (or join a lottery) even while yours are in place. While you should arrange to meet with your advisor as soon as possible, they have been instructed to release your hold only when they have had a substantive discussion with you about your plans. You should not pressure them to release a hold simply so you can section or join a lottery. It is up to you to initiate contact with your advisor if you have not already heard from them. - How do I get the advising hold lifted - Contact your advisor and schedule a meeting so you can have a substantive advising conversation. Only when both you and your advisor feel well-informed about your study plans, requirements, and resources should your advisor sign your study card (i.e. release your advising hold). The sooner you arrange to meet with your advisor the sooner you can get that hold released. - What does this have to do with instructor permissions - Nothing! You can request instructor permission or validate your study card even while you have holds in place. - Economics 10a - If you did not enroll in Econ 10a yet there is still time to section once your holds are removed. - Ethical Reasoning 39 - You can request permission for this course (and any others) even if your hold is in place. *Study Card validation tells me I have a conflict but I don’t see how!* - It is checking all course components - If you cannot identify the conflicting courses on your study card, it may be helpful to switch the Study Card view from “Primary On” to “Primary Off.” Primary Off will display all the course components (discussion sections, labs, etc), and one of these components may be the time conflict. - What is validation - You can validate the courses in your study card to see if there are time conflicts, pre-requisites, and instructor permission. Be sure to re-validate your study card to check to see whether any changes have been made. *How do I simultaneously enroll?* - The study card system enforces time conflicts (including lectures, sections, labs, etc). You can check for conflicts by validating your study card. Students are not ordinarily permitted to simultaneously enroll in courses that overlap in time. However, there are limited exceptions as described below. - CS50 - CS50 is the only course in which undergraduates may simultaneously enroll without approval of the Administrative Board. Enroll in the other course on your study card and then email the Registrar’s Office at enrollment(a)fas.harvard.edu requesting us to add you to CS50. - Other courses - Undergraduates may request permission to simultaneously enroll in courses other than CS50 by petitioning the Administrative Board. First you should read the student handbook section on simultaneous enrollment to see the requirements and exceptions. Then, if you meet the conditions for an exception, consult with your Allston Burr Assistant Dean in your house or your Resident Dean of Freshmen to submit a petition. *What is Add/Drop all about?* - How does it work - You can add or drop courses on your study card after study card day. Instructors’ approval is required to add any course. Starting on the second Monday, undeclared undergraduate students will need to meet with their advisors before they can add or drop courses. It is your responsibility to connect with your advisor in order to proceed. Visit the Knowledge Center for more detailed instructions on adding, dropping, and swapping courses. - When does it start/stop - Add/Drop period begins September 11. Please note the following deadlines: - September 18, deadline to cross-register - September 18, deadline for graduate students to add or drop without a fee - September 21, deadline for undergraduates to add or drop without a fee (3rd Monday) - October 5, deadline for undergraduates to add or drop (5th Monday) - October 19, deadline to withdraw from a course (7th Monday) - October 19, deadline for graduate students to add a course - October 27, deadline for graduate students to drop a course - What about dropping cross-registrations - To drop a cross-registration at another school send an email to enrollment(a)fas.harvard.edu with your request. *How do I change a course’s grading status?* - How do I do it - After study card day you can find the form for this in the documents center of my.harvard. - When is the deadline - October 5 for undergraduates - October 19 for graduate students in designated language courses *How do I section for a course?* - What is sectioning - The sectioning tool in my.harvard enables students to submit their top section meeting time preferences, which are assigned by the course’s instructors or teaching fellows. - How do I know if I need to do it - If your course is using the sectioning tool and offers sectioning preferences, you will see a gear appear on the study card next to the enrolled course once sections preferences are available. - How do I make a change - You can rank your preferences until the course makes the assignments. After that time consult with your teaching fellow or instructor to request a change. *Whatever happened to my Plan of Study?* - Tell me how to get a copy of it - You can view your student record (SREC) and your Plan of Study (including the courses you listed to meet your degree requirements) in the documents center of your my.harvard portal. *What about concentrations and secondary fields?* - New declarations - Plan of Study, concentration declarations, and secondary field petitions are coming to my.harvard later in September. - Changes - If you cannot wait for the new tool, email the new concentration to request the change. Include a list of all courses you would like to use toward the new concentration (past and future). The DUS will respond via email, CCing enrollment(a)fas.harvard.edu. - Can I enroll in my new concentration’s courses even though I haven’t switched yet - Yes. However, you may need to request permission of the instructor or DUS of the new concentration if the course is limited to declared concentrators. *Course Web Sites* - How do I get to them - You can access the course web site from the my.harvard Course Search. Once you enroll in a course it will be listed on your my.harvard home page and you can click from there. You can also find your enrolled courses listed in the Quick Links tab of my.harvard. - Can I access them during before I enroll in the course - Course web sites are available to all students during shopping period. After study card day only enrolled students can access them. *TIME and Independent Study basics* - How do I enroll - Visit the Knowledge Center <http://about.my.harvard.edu/faq/enroll-time-3003000> for step-by-step and visual instructions for enrolling in time and 300/3000 level courses. *Cross-registration basics* - How do I do it - Cross-registration starts at coursecatalog.harvard.edu. Follow the instructions there. - Where are the placeholders - We no longer use placeholders. - How do I drop a cross-registration - To drop a cross-registration at another school before you see it listed on your courses in my.harvard, send an email to enrollment(a)fas.harvard.edu with your request. Once you see the course on my.Harvard you can drop it there. - When will they show up in my.harvard - Once the instructor and host school registrar approves your cross-registration the course will appear on my.harvard within several business days. If a week goes by following notification of approval and the course is still not showing on my.harvard send an email to enrollment(a)fas.harvard.edu <enrollment(a)fas.harvard.edu?subject=Verifying%20Cross-Registration> to inquire about the status. - What does pending mean - Pending means the instructor or host school registrar has not yet acted on your request to enroll. *Instructor Permissions* - Visit the Knowledge Center <http://about.my.harvard.edu/instructor-permissions> for more helpful information. - When will they respond to my request - Instructors are responding to permission requests every day. They are as eager to finalize enrollment as you are and they will respond accordingly. The Registrar’s Office also sends reminders. - How do I check the status of my request - You can view the status of your request on your study card. There is a legend that shows what the various status symbols mean. - Do I need to wait for my holds to be cleared before requesting permission - No. You can request permission even while you have holds on your enrollment. *Where can I get in-person help with my.harvard* - Student ambassadors - There are undergraduate and graduate student ambassadors ready to assist you. Visit this link <http://about.my.harvard.edu/ambassadors> to see how to meet up. - Registrar’s Office - We are located on the 4th floor of the Smith Campus Center and would be happy to assist you. You can also reach us at 617-495-1543 or registrar(a)fas.harvard.edu. - HUIT Here to Help - Harvard University IT and the Registrar’s Office will be staffing tables in the Science Center and Smith Campus Center lobbies on the following dates.
