Paula Cole Concert Rescheduled

The Paula Cole concert postponed from December has been rescheduled for Sunday, February 22 at 8 pm in Chapin Auditorium. Tickets purchased for the December show will be honored at the February show.

Grant-in-Aid for Music Lessons

All applications for grant-in-aid for music lessons are due in the music office by 4 pm January 30. Students who receive financial aid from the College are eligible to apply for a grant. Students must apply for grant-in-aid at the beginning of each semester; there are no automatic renewals.

Reminder on the Election of the Ungraded Option

All students are reminded that the ungraded option cannot be elected for courses satisfying specific degree requirements. This restriction applies to distribution credit, the language requirement, the multicultural perspectives requirement, courses in the major department, and courses in the minor. Any courses taken under the ungraded option will count solely as elective credit toward the total of 128 credits required for the degree. The decision to use the ungraded option for a course may be made only during the first fifteen days of classes (by February 17). There are no exceptions made to this rule. Students should discuss selection of this option carefully with their adviser(s) during the change of course period, since no changes will be permitted after the fifteenth day of classes. The class of 2001 has until April 14 to elect or change the ungraded option.

Physical Education Requirement

All students are reminded that faculty legislation stipulates that the College's physical education requirement should begin in the first year and be completed by the end of the junior year. Six units are required of all students. Those who enter with full sophomore advanced standing must complete four units; students who enter with full junior advanced standing must complete two units. Students planning to spend junior year off campus should complete their physical education requirements this semester. Spaces in physical education courses cannot be guaranteed to students who did not preregister, nor can enrollment priority be given to seniors who failed to complete the requirement.

Change of Course Deadlines

Last day to register for spring classes: Tuesday, February 10

Last day to add a course or change sections: Tuesday, February 10

Last day to enroll in a Five-College course: Tuesday, February 10

Last day to elect the ungraded option: Tuesday, February 17

No extensions are allowed to the deadlines stated above. The academic deans may approve late adds to a Mount Holyoke course only for extenuating circumstances. (Failure to obtain an adviser's signature on time is not an extenuating circumstance.) No late approvals can be granted for Five-College courses. Students who do not register by February 10 are ineligible to remain on campus.

Course Drop Deadlines

Course drops must be filed by Tuesday, February 17, to drop a course completely (so that it will not appear on your record at all). Courses may be dropped until Tuesday, April 14, but those dropped after February 17 will appear on your transcript with a notation of "DR" and will not affect the grade point average.

Five College Course Enrollments

Five-College courses may be added only by filling out a Five-College registration form, available at the registrar's office, 6 Mary Lyon Hall. Students registering for courses at the University of Massachusetts should take the completed Five-College forms, signed by your advisers, to the university's registrar's office (instructor's signature is avisable) and then return the form to the MHC registrar's office. Do this at once; if you do not enroll right away, you may be closed out of the course. There will be not exceptions made to the Tuesday, February 10 deadline to submit forms. Deans will not approve late registrations for any reason. It is the responsibility of each student who intends to take a course at one of the other campuses to be sure that her forms have been properly submitted to the registrar.
