WHAT IS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY DEGREE?

?

An interdisciplinary degree allows students the opportunity to create a customized, tailored program by selecting courses across an array of disciplines to create a plan of study that meets their academic and/or professional goals. Students will select a concentration and build focused coursework within the concentration to effectively develop a major that’s right for them. In the Bachelor in Professional Studies, students choose from courses from areas such as business, information technology, natural sciences, engineering technology, humanities, and social sciences to create an Individualized degree pathway.

AP/IB CREDIT, DUAL ENROLLMENT CREDIT, AND TRANSFER CREDITS AP/IB Credit Students should submit their official AP /IB scores to UAH’s Office of the Registrar for credit consideration. Please be aware that awarded credits do not carry a grade or quality points, so they do not factor into your UAH GPA. To obtain your official AP scores, go to collegeboard.org (UAH AP code: 1854) To see a list of all of the UAH equivalent courses for each AP/IB program course and the semester credit hours that you may receive for it based upon your exam score, please visit the Advanced Placement Program website: uah.edu/admissions/undergraduate/admitted-students/ap-ib Dual Enrollment Credit Many students participate in Dual Enrollment programs while they are in high school. If you have taken dual enrollment coursework at a regionally accredited institution before being admitted or since you were originally admitted to UAH, please have your final transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions to ensure that appropriate credit is awarded. Transfer Credit Students can apply credits earned from regionally accredited 2-year/community colleges for a maximum of 50% of their degree requirements. Credits earned from regionally accredited 4-year universities can be applied for up to 75% of their degree requirements. UAH requires that 25% of the total degree requirements and 12 of the final 18 degree hours are completed with UAH courses. •

Technical Credits A maximum of 34 credit hours of technical credits earned from a regionally accredited institution may be applied to the Bachelor in Professional Studies degree. These credits can be applied only as general elective credit and may not count toward Charger Foundations or concentration requirements.

Credits will be articulated as 3 credit hours or less per course.

Military Credits Transfer credit may also include American Council on Education (ACE) approved military training. If courses are articulated as technical credit, a maximum of 34 credit hours earned may be applied as general elective credit and may not count toward Charger Foundations of concentration requirements.

A total maximum of 50% of the degree requirements may be fulfilled by credits earned through ACE recommended credit for military training. 7


CHARGER FOUNDATIONS Charger Foundations are UAH’s general education requirements that are required of all majors across campus. These courses encompass almost one-third of your undergraduate curriculum and provide you with the foundation you will need to be successful in all of your upcoming coursework. It is not necessary to complete all of your Charger Foundations courses before beginning courses related to your concentration, but some Foundations courses may be prerequisites required for your concentration. Please check with your advisor to learn about any prerequisite requirements.

8


CHARGER FOUNDATIONS REQUIREMENTS The University of Alabama in Huntsville is committed to four core competencies that serve as the foundation for undergraduate general education. These four core competencies follow. 1. Effective communication (Area I) 2. Engagement with questions of values, ethics, and aesthetics as represented in literature, the humanities, and the arts (Area II) 3. Understanding of the scientific method and application of quantitative or inductive reasoning (Area III) 4. Understanding of human behavior and economic, social, and political structures as represented in the disciplines of history and the social and behavioral sciences (Area IV) These core competencies are consistent with those of the Alabama mandated articulation agreement under ACT 94-303, which ensures the transferability of credits from the State’s two-year institutions to its four-year institutions.

REGISTERING Planning early for your classes each semester is important, especially if you plan to take online courses, because they tend to fill more quickly than others. Register as soon as your priority registration date opens. To determine your registration status: • Go to my.uah.edu • Scroll to Student Services/Registration • Click on Registration Status If you receive a “time ticket” error when you attempt to register for courses, it is likely because you are registering ahead of your designated registration start period. Students will have access to the semester schedule of classes ahead of the start of registration each fall and spring. You can view all courses offered in any semester by looking at the Class Schedules: • • • •

Go to uah.edu At the top of the page, hover over “I am a…” Select Current Student Class Schedules are located in the gray Information Boxes

When it is time for you to register, you may do so by using either Schedule Planner or Add or Drop Classes (both in my.uah.edu) to register your courses. How to Wait list for a course: If you register for a course that is at capacity, but has a waitlist, you will receive a “Registration Add Errors” message along with the course(s) that currently have a wait list. Click the drop-down box under Action and select Wait Listed, then Submit Changes, to add yourself to the wait list. Keep check on your course status by viewing your class schedule (my.uah.edu— Student Services—My Courses—Class Schedule) to see if/when you have been added. If you select to wait list a course, we recommend that you add another should you not be added to the course. If you are added, you can drop the extra course. 11


USING SCHEDULE PLANNER Go to my.uah.edu • Student Services—Registration—Schedule Planner • Select term—Save—Continue Start by adding breaks. Not a morning person? Add a break in the mornings to schedule later classes. Athletic practice schedule? Enter that first and be sure to allow for a little bit of time before and after practice in case a class or practice runs long! Add courses. Refer to your plan of study or the recommendations made by your Academic Advisor. Once you enter all of our courses, click to Generate Schedule. View the schedules and choose the one that works best for you • Too many/too few schedules available? Try adding more courses or selecting the Options icon near each course to limit/expand options Then Send to Shopping Cart—Click “OK” - Click Register and check for any registration errors. To print your detailed schedule: Student Services—Registration—Class Schedule • Right click and select Print And you’re all finished!!! Remember: 12 hours is the minimum number of hours to be considered full time. Taking a minimum of 15 hours each semester is strongly recommended. You can adjust your schedule at any time after you register. Please be sure to view the information on semester dates and deadlines in this handbook to learn the final days to add courses without special permission or to drop courses and receive a tuition refund.

12


USING ADD OR DROP CLASSES Some students prefer to register for courses using the Add or Drop Classes option as opposed to using Schedule Planner. This is the simplest way to add one or two courses to your schedule and is the method used for dropping a course. To Add Courses • Review the course offerings for the semester through the Class Schedules (available through UAH’s main website). • Make a note of the Course Registration Number (CRN) for the courses you select. The CRN is a unique 5 digit number assigned to each course. • Go to my.uah.edu—Student Services—Registration—Add or Drop Classes • Select the term—Submit • At the Add Classes Worksheet, add one CRN per box—Submit Changes • Verify your schedule. • my.uah.edu—Student Services—My Courses—Class Schedule Remember: 12 hours is the minimum number of hours to be considered full time. Taking a minimum of 15 hours each semester is strongly recommended. You can adjust your schedule, if needed, after you register. To Drop a Course • Go to my.uah.edu—Student Services—Registration—Add or Drop Classes • Select the term—Submit • Under Action, select Web Drop beside the course you wish to remove • Click Submit Changes Please be sure to view the information on semester dates and deadlines in this handbook to learn the final days to add courses without special permission or to drop courses and receive a tuition refund.

13


WAIT LISTS Occasionally, a course that you register for will have already reached its maximum enrollment for the semester. If the course allows for it, students may choose to be placed on the wait list for the course. How to Wait List for a Course If you register for a course that is at capacity, but has a waitlist, you will receive a “Registration Add Errors” message along with the course(s) that currently have a wait list. Click the drop-down box under Action and select Wait Listed, then Submit Changes, to add yourself to the wait list. Most often, there is no notification sent to the students on the wait list to let them know whether or not they have been added to the course. You’ll need to keep check on your course status by viewing your class schedule: • • • •

Go to my.uah.edu Student Services My Courses Class Schedule

Each course will have a Status line that will let you know if you are registered for the course or if you are on the wait list. If you select to wait list a course, it is recommended that you add another in its place should you not be added to the course. If you are added, you can drop the extra course.

14


SEMESTER DATES AND DEADLINES There are periods in each term when you can drop a course and receive a tuition refund or add a course without needing special permissions. Drop with Refund/Add without Special Permission Standard Term (15 weeks: Fall and Spring) – No later than the 5th business day from the start of the term 10 week term (Fall, Spring, and Summer) – No later than the 4th business day from the start of the term 7 week term (Fall, Spring and Summer) – No later than the 3rd business day from the start of the term 6 week term, 5 week term, Summer Maymester – No later than the 2nd business day from the start of the term Students may still add a course after the last day to add without special permission. To add a course after that date, the Registration Schedule Adjustment Form must be completed and all required signatures must be obtained. The form can be found under General Forms on the Registrar’s website (uah.edu/registrar) and upon completion, must be returned to the Registrar’s office for the schedule to be adjusted. Students may still withdraw from a course after the final day to drop and receive a refund; however, no tuition will be refunded and a grade of “W” will be given for the course. Withdrawal does not negatively impact a student’s GPA. Withdrawal is accomplished by either dropping a course through my.uah.edu or by submitting a Registration Schedule Adjustment Form to the Registrar. Students should consult with appropriate university officials to determine any impact that could occur from withdrawing from a course (scholarships/ financial aid, athletics, visa status, etc.) ***Class non-attendance does NOT constitute withdrawal, nor does notification to the instructor. Any student failing to follow the established procedure for withdrawal will continue to be enrolled in the class and may receive a failing grade for that course.***

15


PURCHASING TEXTBOOKS UAH’s campus bookstore is the best way to learn what textbooks and supplemental materials are needed for each of your courses. • • • • •

Go to uah.edu/bookstore Enter Online Bookstore Select “Textbooks” Select “Find Textbooks” Enter the information for each of your courses

Be sure to purchase all required texts, including any online subscriptions that will be required for completion of your course. These will be specified in the textbook materials list. Engineering Technology students will also have required lab kits associated with some courses.

ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY The Engineering Technology concentration provides a path for students just starting a degree or returning adults who may have pursued an engineering-related associates or bachelors program, but for various reasons did not complete. Graduates will use their math, science and engineering skills to design products and systems, install and maintain products, and provide a wide range of services, such as implementation of the design, testing, calibration and supervision of its operation. (American Society for Engineering Education) Ways that Engineering and Engineering Technology undergraduate programs differ: • Engineering programs include a higher-level of mathematics than technology programs. • Engineering programs often focus on theory, while technology programs focus on application. • Graduates from engineering programs are called engineers, while graduates of technology programs are often called technologists. • Engineers typically spend their time planning, while technologists spend their time making plans work. Career Opportunities: • Operations • Production • Manufacturing • Test and Evaluation

MILITARY AND VETERANS PROGRAMS Veterans and their dependents who are receiving military tuition benefits will work in combination with their Academic Advisor and the Military and Veteran’s Program (MVP) Office to process their benefits each semester. The MVP office provides a streamlined process for students to process their benefits online in a timely manner and in a way that allows the student control of the process. You can access the VA Certification Program under the Services menu on their website: uah.edu/mvp. Veterans who are registered with the MVP office will receive priority registration, which means they will have the ability to register for courses on the first day of the registration periods when they open. After registering for courses, students receiving military tuition benefits should contact their Academic Advisor to process their VA Enrollment Verification form. The form can be found under the Financial Aid tab at my.uah.edu or on the MVP website. Students are required to complete this form and have it signed by their Academic Advisor, then returned to the MVP Office in Charger Union 223. The MVP office has established priority submission dates for the VA Enrollment Verification form to ensure that students’ benefits are processed in a timely manner. Students may submit their forms after the priority processing date, but should make alternative financial plans because they will not receive benefits by the first day of class. Please see the MVP website for a list of the priority processing dates each semester. Veterans and their dependents who qualify through the “Choice Act” will be charged tuition and fees at the in-state rate; however, students are responsible for completing and submitting the Application for Determination of Alabama Residency for Tuition Purposes which is available on the Vice President for Student Affairs website (uah.edu/vpsa/residency) 36
