Advising

If you are unable to reach your advisor or have other questions, please feel free to contact registrar@beloit.edu.
Frequently Asked Questions
Registration
Ask the professor to “authorize” your enrollment in the Portal, which will then enable you to register yourself. During online registration, you can add the course with the override, or if you waitlisted yourself, you can go to courses/registration in the Portal and convert your waitlisted status to enrolled. You do that either by clicking on the “move to current” message next to the waitlisted course, or, if that message doesn’t appear, then drop the course and re-add it (the authorization will allow you to do that).
Some courses are listed in more than one way (from 2-4 different ways), e.g. Intro to Literary Study may be listed both as ENGL 190 and CPLT 190. These are called cross-listed courses. You can sign up for the course either way, but to see the combined total enrollment in the course, click on the course code link for course details; right below the description is information about the enrollment, including waitlist count. The “parent” course controls the combined total enrollment. Both the “parent” and “child” courses show as “full” once the parent cap has been reached.
You can add yourself to the waitlist for the course, in case space in the course becomes available. If the instructor authorizes you to join, you still need to add yourself to the course. If the waitlist option is not available, contact the course instructor.
When online registration is closed, a Registrar’s Office staff member will have to process the change.
First, consult with your primary (major or AMP) advisor.
You should then fill out an add/drop card with appropriate signatures (instructor and advisor) and drop it off at the Registrar’s Office. Blanks cards are available on a table outside the office. If for some reason you cannot submit an add/drop card, you can email a request. In that case, email registrar@beloit.edu, copying your primary advisor and the instructor, asking them to “reply all” to approve the change. Once both have confirmed, a Registrar’s Office staff member will process the add/drop.
Specific Situations
Special Project: Complete a Special Project Contract form Consult with the faculty or staff member who will be your sponsor. Then fill out the form, including appropriate signatures and drop off the completed form at the Registrar’s Office. If for some reason you are unable to deliver the form, you may email it to registrar@beloit.edu, copying both the sponsor and your primary (major, Spark, or AMP) advisor, asking them to “reply all” to confirm approval. A Registrar’s Office staff member will register you and send you a confirmation copy of the contract.
Internship: Complete an Internship Registration form for an internship (CHNL 200) or the internship workshop (CHNL 201). See internship information and links to the forms
Bring the completed CHNL 200 or 201 registration form to the Registrar’s Office. If you need to submit the form electronically, you may email it as an attachment to your on-campus sponsor and copy your primary (major, SPARK, or AMP) advisor and registrar@beloit.edu Ask your sponsor and advisor to “reply all” to confirm approval.
In either case, a Registrar’s Office staff member will register you for the internship and send you a confirmation copy of the form.
TA (Teaching Assistant) credit: Complete a drop/add card with appropriate signatures (advisor and instructor) and deliver it to the Registrar’s Office for processing. If you cannot complete a card, then email the instructor of the course for which you are a TA and copy your advisor and registrar@beloit.edu . Include in the email the name of the course and ask the instructor and your advisor to “reply all” to confirm approval.
A Registrar’s Office staff member will register you for the TA credit. TA credit is registered with the same course prefix as the course for which you are TA-ing, and the course number is “395” (e.g. ENGL 395). The credit value is usually half the credit value of the course for which you are the TA. So, normally you would earn .50 unit of credit as the TA for a 1.0 unit course.
No more than a total of 1.0 unit of TA credit (395) may apply toward the 31 units of credit required for graduation.
See Global Experience Office study abroad policies for information.
Most students take 4.00-4.25 units per semester. The maximum number of units that you can take is 4.75 units, unless your GPA is at or above a 3.2. To determine whether or not you need to petition if you want to take more than 4.75 units, see the course overload policy.
