The Faculty believes that active engagement in a classroom setting is essential to learning. Therefore, students may not enroll in courses that meet at the same time or at overlapping times, except in two cases:
1. When one of the two courses has been granted a waiver from the Administrative Board petition process by a subcommittee of the Standing Committee on Undergraduate Educational Policy (EPC). Faculty may request a waiver for their courses via the following form. (This form is for instructors only. Students should speak directly with their Resident Dean about matters of simultaneous enrollment.
Fall 2024 - Approved Courses for Simultaneous Enrollment:
- Computer Science 50, Introduction to Computer Science
- Computer Science 61, Systems Programming and Machine Organization
- Economics 10A, Principles of Economics (Microeconomics)
The courses listed below are approved for the waiver with the following stipulation:
Students may enroll simultaneously in another course only if they have a conflict that can be resolved by attending another section on the day/time of the conflict. Set attendance, either during one of the scheduled course sections or at various sections throughout the week is required. A planned schedule will need to be established with the course head.
- Chinese: BA, BX, 120a, 130a, 130xa, 140a, and 140xa
- Japanese: BA, 120a, 130a, and 140a
- Korean: BA, BB, BX, 120a, 130a, 130xa, 140a, and 150a
2. When a senior can meet degree requirements only by taking the two particular courses in question and will have no other opportunity to enroll in the courses before graduation. In such circumstances, the Administrative Board may approve reasonable accommodations in consultation with the instructors of the courses involved.
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that there is no overlap in the meeting times of their courses. Students who wish to petition the Administrative Board for simultaneous enrollment under exception number two should work directly with their Resident Dean.
Note: Students pursuing simultaneous enrollment in a Gen Ed course and a non-Gen Ed course must attend the Gen Ed course.
