Scheduling Tips
Here are some important considerations for planning your next semester:
Choose your classes
Use the IU East Catalog plus the academic advising sheet for your degree program to find the classes you need for particular degree programs. The bulletin also has class descriptions and information about prerequisite courses. Prerequisite courses are not always listed in the Schedule of Classes. You must check the bulletin. If you are a new student, be sure to plan for the classes you placed into first (from the Compass test results).
Select the best day and time for each class
Use the printed Schedule of Classes the online version you can find via OneStart to find class meeting times and locations. Be sure to choose alternate selections, too, in case your first choices are closed. Remember that a building code of "CD," "VC," or "FP" means that the class meets in Connersville, and "NW," "NX," or "DA"are building locations in New Castle.
Schedule your advising appointment
Bring your list of classes and alternates to your advising appointment, along with any questions you might have. Your advisor will help you resolve any concerns you have and make sure you're on track for your program during your appointment.
You are not officially registered in your classes until your fees are paid
If your fees are not paid on the due date for each semester, your registration will be cancelled. If you are receiving financial aid, it is your responsibility to make sure that everything is in order. If in doubt, contact the Financial Aid Office to see if they have granted a financial aid deferment for you. Contact our Bursar's (or Student Accounts) Office for questions about your bill at 973-8345.
