SECOND HALF-YEAR STUDY CARDS DUE JANUARY 21

STUDENTS MUST ATTEND FIRST SESSIONS OF NEW COURSES

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

January 21 has been set as the day on which the study-card indicating the student's choice of courses for the second half-year must be handed in, according to a recent Faculty vote. Failure to hand in the study-card before Wednesday, January 21, will make the student subject to a fine of $5.

Students may obtain after the Christmas recess at 4 University Hall the study-card, on which they must enter the half-courses they intend to take in the second half-year. Even though the students make no change in their program, their signature on the study-card is necessary, as it constitutes their registration for the second half-year. The consent of the instructor must be obtained before entering a "starred course" or a course "Primarily for graduates" beginning the second half-year. Also, the second half of a whole course must not be entered unless it is announced in the Announcement of Courses of Instruction as divisible and unless the consent of the instructor is gained.

Should Attend First Meeting of Course

Courses which begin the second half-year will be announced on the official Bulletin Boards on January 7. It is most important that students attend the first meetings of their new courses, since an instructor may otherwise refuse to admit them.

After the study-card is handed in, no course can be changed except through the granting of a petition by the Committee on the Choice of Electives. A charge of $5 is made for any change after February 21. After February 28, any change will involve the payment of the fee for additional courses.

However, students entering college only in the second half-year are expected to register on February 9, the first day of the second semester.

In past years students have been required to hand in their study cards only after the beginning of the second semester. According to Dean Delmar Leighton 19, this, change in the date will do away with the confusion that has prevailed in past years. It will enable the instructors to know definitely and at an earlier date how many students will attend their courses.
