    III. CLAS MAJOR REQUIREMENTS

    MAJOR REQUIREMENTS CLAS majors require 24 or more 200-level credits as specified by theunit offering the major. At least one course required for the major must be a (W)course. See pages 51

    through 66 in the 2006-2007 undergraduate catalog for specific major requirements. TRANSFERCOURSES CANNOT BE USED TOWARD THE MAJOR UNLESS THE ASSIGNED FACULTYADVISOR AND DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVE EACH ONE.

    RELATED CLAS requires 12 credits of coursework in an area closely related to the major BUTNOT OFFERED BY THE MAJOR ACADEMIC UNIT. Only the students faculty advisor in themajor or major department head has the authority to approve a related course.

    MINORS ARE OPTIONAL Minors are not required for graduation and the university does notguarantee that students will get into all courses required for the minor of their choice. Minors consistof 15 to 18 credits of 200 level coursework. Specific requirements are listed on pages 77 through 85 of

    the 2006-2007 Undergraduate Catalog. Additional rules for minors: 1. Absolutely no substitutions forthe minor requirements printed in the catalog are allowed; 2. Students must earn a grade of C or betterin each one of the courses required for the minor (no courses in which C-, D+, D or D- are earned cancount towards the minor); 3. In most cases, courses taken toward the minor can also meet a studentsrelated requirement; however, the students faculty advisor has final approval of related courses.

    IV. ADDITIONAL ELECTIVE COURSES TO REACH 120 CREDITS

    Many students can and do complete the General Education, CLAS and Major components of the

    degree without reaching the 120 credits necessary for graduation. For this reason, we recommend thatstudents make a preliminary plan of the courses they want to take at UConn as early as possible in thecollege career to see if they will have time to take elective courses or to pursue a second major orminor. (See preliminary plan grid on next page.) Students who want to experiment in academic areaswithout risking a poor grade that will affect their grade point average should consider the PASS/ FAILoption.

    Pass/Fail Option : Students who have earned at least 24 credits and are not on scholastic probationmay place three courses, for no more than 12 credits, on Pass/Fail. Students may not place more thanone course each semester on Pass/Fail, nor more than one during the summer, regardless of the numberof summer sessions attended. Students place courses on Pass/Fail, or remove them from Pass/Fail, atthe Office of the Registrar. The examining, grading and reporting do not differ from that of otherstudents. The Registrar enters P@ if the instructor submits a passing grade and F@ if the student fails.Students must place courses on Pass/Fail during the first two weeks of the semester or the first week of the summer session.

    Restrictions on Pass/Fail Courses. Courses placed on Pass/Fail do not satisfy the General EducationRequirement, the major or related requirements, the skill requirements or any school or college courserequirement. Pass/Fail credits may not be acceptable when a student changes majors or schools withinthe University. Pass/Fail credits may not be transferable to another institution.

    II. HOW TO CHOOSE ENGLISH COURSES

    A. ENGLISH PLACEMENT FOR FIRST YEAR STUDENTS

    All students are required to complete ENGL 110 or 111; Honors students may choose ENGL 250 in

    lieu of 110 or 111; Transfer students with ENGL 105 and 109 have fulfilled the 110/111requirement. ENGL 110 or 111 or 250 or 105/109 are all prerequisites to taking writing (W)courses.

    If your Verbal SAT is < = 430, you must enroll in ENGL 104. If your Verbal SAT is > = 440 or < = 540, you may choose either ENGL 104, 110 or 111. If your Verbal SAT is > = 550, you may choose either ENGL 110 or 111.

    B. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENGLISH 104, 110 and 111

    The course designed to help students develop the reading and writing skills essential touniversity work is called ENGL 104, Basic Writing. Students placed in or who choose to takeEnglish 104 must pass the course before taking either English 110 or 111.

    The rhetorically based interdisciplinary course is called ENGL 110 , Seminar in AcademicWriting, and it is described as instruction in academic writing through interdisciplinary readings.Assignments emphasize interpretation, argumentation, and reflection. Revision of formalassignments and instruction on grammar, mechanics, and style are included.

    The literature based course is called ENGL 111, Seminar in Writing through Literature, andit is described as instruction in academic writing through literary readings. Assignments emphasizeinterpretation, argumentation, and reflection. Revision of formal assignments and instruction ongrammar, mechanics, and style are included.

    III. HOW TO CHOOSE Q COURSES

    A. Q COURSE CHOICES FOR BA STUDENTSBachelor of Arts students do not have to take the Calculus Readiness Survey and, as a rule, should notattempt to take any of the Q courses required for Bachelor of Sciences students (see page 5).Some of the courses recommended include:

    MATH 102Q Problem Solving; MATH 103Q Elementary Discrete Mathematics; MATH 104Q Introductory College Algebra & Mathematical Modeling; MATH 107Q Mathematical Modeling; MATH 108QC Mathematical Modeling in the Environment; MATH 109Q Pre-Calculus; PHYS 101Q Elements of Physics; PHYS 103Q Physics of the Environment; PHYS 104Q Physics of the Environment with Laboratory; PHYS 107Q Physics of Music; PHYS 154Q Introductory Astronomy; PHYS 155Q Introductory Astronomy with Laboratory.

    B. MATHEMATICS CALCULUS COURSE PLACEMENT FOR BS STUDENTS If you are a new student who is not transferring a calculus course into UConn and you are planning

    on majoring in either Biology, Chemistry, Coastal Studies, Economics, Mathematics, Physics orStatistics , you are required to take the Mathematics Calculus Readiness Survey to determine thecalculus course most appropriate for you. The Mathematics Calculus Readiness Survey should havebeen taken seven days before orientation so that the scores are recorded in the PeopleSoft system. If youhave not taken the survey, PeopleSoft will not allow you to register for any Q course during orientation.

    According to your score, your advisor will suggest one of the following: Enroll in MATH 109Q if your score is 11 or lower; Enroll in MATH 112Q if your score is between 12 and 15; Enroll in MATH 115Q (or higher) if your score is a 16 or better.

    If you have transferred in a calculus course , you can register for Q courses without taking theCalculus Readiness Survey. Please consult an advisor for assistance in determining where to start.

    C. Q COURSE CHOICES FOR BS STUDENTSEntering BS students will be advised about which Q courses (other than calculus courses) to takebased on a combination of the students MATH SAT score and/or class rank data. Statistics showthat the SAT/ Class Rank combination can help predict a students success in entry level Q courses.Advisors will plot the students data on an advising contour (or graph) for the Q course the student isinterested in taking. The point at which the student places on the graph will indicate the studentslikelihood of earning a grade of C or better for the course.If the value is less than desirable , the student will be advised to do one of the following: Enroll inMATH 101 in an attempt to gain better quantitative skills;

    Postpone enrolling in the first Q course until one semester has elapsed (since studies showstudents automatically do better).

    Enroll in the first of a three sequence set of courses instead of the two sequence set (e.g. CHEM124Q/125Q/126Q instead of CHEM 127Q/128Q).
