How to Make the Best Use of a College Academic Advisor
All successful and savvy college students learn to use their academic advisoron a regular basis. The things discussed with a college-level academic advisor tend to be much broader than the range of issues you took to your high school guidance counselor.
How to Register for Classes
New students register for classes during Orientation. Continuing students who are already registered for the current term will be assigned a pre-registration "appointment time" by the Registrar, sometime around the 10th week of the term.
Getting Started with Wolverine Access
How to get an account, Hours Wolverine Access is available, and other common questions.
How to Drop and Add Classes
Each term has three different time periods during which different rules for Drop/Add apply. The dates at which these periods begin and end are very firm. It is the student's responsibility to know these dates and rules.
How to Declare/Change a Concentration/Academic Minor
To declare a concentration, fill out Declaration Form and take it to a concentration advisor for his/her signature. To change your concentration, simply re-declare with the new concentration
How To Make Pass/Fail Changes
You make a course Pass/Fail by adding the election modifier "P/F" via Wolverine Access. You may do this any time up until the Open Drop/Add deadline. After the deadline, it is impossible to add or remove the P/F modifier.
Computing Your Grade Point Average
A GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of Michigan Semester Hours (MSH) elected during a term into the total number of Michigan Honor Points (MHP) earned during the same term.
How to Compute an Honor Point Deficit
A deficit means that the GPA of the concentration, minor or cumulative average has fallen below the required minimum of 2.0.
How To Take and Finish An Incomplete
If you believe you will not be able to finish the work for a course, you may request a grade of "I" from the instructor. The instructor is under no obligation to grant your request.
How To Repeat a Course
Any course that you have previously completed, regardless of the grade you received the first time, is considered a repeat.
