You will also be asked to write two 100-word paragraphs about (1) your academic interests and goals and (2) your academic strengths and weaknesses.

Admissions and Enrollment
Course Action Form
SIS will deny enrollment in a course if you do not meet the class section restrictions (e.g., fourth-year economics majors), or if the course is
- full;
- waitlisted; or
- restricted to instructor permission
When a course is full you will likely be directed to place your name on either a waitlist or a permission list. You may add your name if you would like to be considered for the class.
Some instructors may still use a paper Course Action Form to allow you to enroll in a class. The paper form will also be needed if you are requesting permission to enroll in more than 17 credits. Requests to exceed the maximum or drop below the minimum must be submitted with an explanatory petition to your association dean.

Leave of Absence
When you take a leave of absence from the University for a semester or more you must fill out and submit the "Application for Leave of Absence" Form (.doc, 43KB) before the second Friday of the semester.
There are two leave options to choose from on this form: LDN (Leave, Domestic, No Credit) or LDC (Leave, Domestic Credit).
If you do not select one of these options, the Registrar classifies you as FRT (Failed to Return), your readmission is not automatic, and your declared major is canceled. To be readmitted you must be accepted as a major by a department and file a new declaration of major form. You must also fill out an application for readmission.
By paying the leave of absence fee of $150.00 per semester and electing the LDC or LDN option, you will receive an e-mail informing you of your access code and date to register for the following semester.
