DECLARING YOUR MAJOR

You have been given a copy of this booklet because you want to major in one of the programs
offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS). It is important for you to know that
you are a declared CLAS major only if you have done one of the following:

1. During orientation, you indicated a preference for a CLAS major on your UConn application,
attended a CLAS advising session, and have been assigned a CLAS faculty advisor in your chosen
major. Your faculty advisor and his or her contact details should be recorded on the inside front cover
of this booklet and your advisors name should appear on your PeopleSoft record. If it is not, please
contact someone at the Academic Services Center.

2. During the rest of the school year, you have completed a Program or Plan Change form indicating
you want to change from another school, college or major to a CLAS major, you have gone to your
new major department contact person (see inside back cover), you have been assigned a faculty
advisor, and you have brought the completed form to the Academic Services Center to obtain the
deans permission and to have the change recorded in PeopleSoft. (Forms can be obtained by going to
www.services.clas.uconn.edu and selecting Forms to Download.)


THE ACADEMIC SERVICES CENTER STAFF

We are a group of professional advisors and administrators that represent CLAS Dean Ross
Mackinnon for a variety of academic services. If you need the deans signature or permission, we are
the people to see. Students are welcome to stop by without an appointment for the first two weeks of
each semester. We welcome drop-ins at other times as well but find that students need to schedule an
appointment for most academic concerns. This allows us to provide the very best service available.

SECTION ONE
CLAS GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS: AN OVERVIEW

To earn a Bachelors degree, students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences need a
minimum of 120 total degree credits consisting of . . .

I. The University General Education Requirements
II. Additional CLAS Requirements
III. CLAS Major Requirements
IV. Elective Courses to reach 120 credits



I. UNIVERSITY GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
Lists of approved courses for each Content Area follows on pages 10 17.

CONTENT AREAS:
CONTENT AREA ONE Arts and Humanities Six credits from 2 different academic units.
CONTENT AREA TWO Social Sciences - Six credits from 2 different academic units.
CONTENT AREA THREE Science and Technology Six to seven credits from two different
academic units, one of which must be a laboratory course.
CONTENT AREA FOUR Diversity and Multiculturalism Six credits that can be from the
same academic unit, one of which must be from the international list.

COMPETENCIES:
COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY COMPETENCY Entrance requirements can be completed by
taking an online assessment of eight basic skills. Exit requirements are determined by each major.
INFORMATION LITERACY COMPETENCY Basic information literacy is taught to all
freshmen as an integral part of English 110 or 111. Exit requirements are determined by each
major.
QUANTITATIVE COMPETENCY Two Q courses, one must be from Mathematics or
Statistics.
SECOND LANGUAGE COMPETENCY A student meets the minimum requirement if
admitted to the University with three years of a single foreign language in high school, or the
equivalent. When the years of study have been split between high school and earlier grades, the
requirement is met if the student has successfully completed the third year high school level course.
With anything less, the student must take one year (2 semesters) of college level study in a single
language.
WRITING (W) COMPETENCY All students must take either ENGL 110 or 111. Students
passing ENGL 250 are considered to have met the ENGL 110 or 111 requirement. Students
transferring in both ENGL 105 and 109 are considered to have met the ENGL 110 or 111
requirement. Additionally, all students must take two writing intensive (W) courses, one at the 200
level that is associated with the students major.


5
II. ADDITIONAL CLAS REQUIREMENTS

CONTENT AREA ONE Arts and Humanities
CLAS has divided Content Area One into the following five categories:
A. Arts; B. Literature; C. History; D. Philosophical/ Ethical Analysis; E. World Cultures.

Bachelor of Arts students must take 5 courses in all, 3 more than the General Education requirement:
one course from each area A though D in at least 4 different academic units and an additional 5
th

course from any category A though E.

Bachelor of Science students must take 4 courses in all, 2 more than the General Education
requirement: one course from each area A through D in at least 4 different academic units.


CONTENT AREA THREE Science and Technology
Bachelor of Arts students are not required to take anything more than the University General
Education Requirements.

Bachelor of Science students are required to take one sequence of courses each from the A, B, and C
lists and one course from the D list, which will automatically fulfill the University General Education
Requirements:
A. CHEM 124Q and 125Q and 126Q/ OR CHEM 127Q and 128Q/ OR CHEM 129Q and 130Q/ OR
CHEM 137Q and 138Q and
B. MATH 112Q and 113Q and 114Q/ OR MATH 115Q and 116Q, and
C. PHYS 121Q and 122Q and 123Q/ OR PHYS 131Q and 132Q/ OR PHYS 141Q and 142Q/ OR
PHYS 151Q and 152Q, and one additional course:
D. MATH 210Q; OR MATH 211Q; OR MATH 220Q; OR MATH 221Q; OR BIOL 107; OR BIOL 108.


QUANTITATIVE COMPETENCY CLAS students are required to take three Q courses
instead of two, one more than the number specified in the General Education Requirements.


SECOND LANGUAGE COMPETENCY CLAS requires the same high school levels of a second
language as listed in the University General Education requirements but when the second language
competency is not fulfilled in high school, CLAS students must take through the Intermediate
Level, or up to 4 semesters of college level study in a single second language.


WRITING (W) COMPETENCY CLAS requires the same basic courses: either ENGL 110 or 111
or, if honors, ENGL 250. In addition, students transferring in both ENGL 105 and 109 are considered
to have met the ENGL 110 or 111 requirement. However, CLAS students must take three, not just
two writing intensive (W) courses, two of which must be on the 200 level and one at the 200 level
required by the students major department. (Note: There is a moratorium on the third (W) course
requirement for CLAS students who graduate as of August 2006, December 2006, May 2007, and
August 2007. Students graduating at these times will fulfill the requirement with one 200-level
(W) course required for the major and a second 100 or 200 level (W) course.)



6

III. CLAS MAJOR REQUIREMENTS


MAJOR REQUIREMENTS CLAS majors require 24 or more 200-level credits as specified by the
unit 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. TRANSFER
COURSES CANNOT BE USED TOWARD THE MAJOR UNLESS THE ASSIGNED FACULTY
ADVISOR AND DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVE EACH ONE.

RELATED CLAS requires 12 credits of coursework in an area closely related to the major BUT
NOT OFFERED BY THE MAJOR ACADEMIC UNIT. Only the students faculty advisor in the
major 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 not
guarantee that students will get into all courses required for the minor of their choice. Minors consist
of 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 for
the minor requirements printed in the catalog are allowed; 2. Students must earn a grade of C or better
in each one of the courses required for the minor (no courses in which C-, D+, D or D- are earned can
count towards the minor); 3. In most cases, courses taken toward the minor can also meet a students
related 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 that
students make a preliminary plan of the courses they want to take at UConn as early as possible in the
college career to see if they will have time to take elective courses or to pursue a second major or
minor. (See preliminary plan grid on next page.) Students who want to experiment in academic areas
without risking a poor grade that will affect their grade point average should consider the PASS/ FAIL
option.
Pass/Fail Option: Students who have earned at least 24 credits and are not on scholastic probation
may place three courses, for no more than 12 credits, on Pass/Fail. Students may not place more than
one course each semester on Pass/Fail, nor more than one during the summer, regardless of the number
of summer sessions attended. Students place courses on Pass/Fail, or remove them from Pass/Fail, at
the Office of the Registrar. The examining, grading and reporting do not differ from that of other
students. 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 Education
Requirement, the major or related requirements, the skill requirements or any school or college course
requirement. Pass/Fail credits may not be acceptable when a student changes majors or schools within
the University. Pass/Fail credits may not be transferable to another institution.

V. MY PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR GRADUATION
Note: certain courses do not count towards degree credit; these include Math 101, courses with the same number taken a
second or third time (unless the catalog description indicates the course can be repeated for credit), courses with the same
number taken once with and then without the W (writing intensive) component, and courses taken out of sequential order.

SECTION TWO
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION FOR NEW STUDENTS

I. IMPORTANT NUMBERS
A. YOUR GPA
1. Definitions:
Your TERM GPA is your grade point average (GPA) for the current semester.
Your CUMULATIVE GPA is your GPA for all semesters combined.
Your MAJOR GPA is the average GPA you earn in your major courses.
2. Probation:
You will be on scholastic probation if any of these are true:
You are a first semester student with 0-11 credits and less than a 1.8 TERM GPA; or
You are a second semester student with 12-23 credits and less than a 1.8 TERM GPA; or
You are a third semester student (or higher) with 24 credits or more and you have earned less
than a 2.0 in either your TERM GPA or your CUMULATIVE GPA.
3. Dismissal:
You will be eligible for dismissal from the university if you have been on scholastic probation for
two consecutive semesters.
4. Deans List:
You will be on the Deans List if all of these are true:
You have taken twelve or more calculable credits in the semester. (Courses taken on pass/fail or S/U
graded courses are not calculable credit courses);
You rank in the upper 25th percentile among the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students and
your minimum semester Grade Point Average is 3.000;
You have no grade below a C, including the actual letter grade awarded in any pass/fail course
taken in the semester.

B. CREDITS PER SEMESTER
In order to graduate in eight semesters, you must take at least 15 credits per semester.
In order to qualify as a full-time student for insurance, scholarship, NCAA, Residential Life and
Financial Aid purposes, you must take at least 12 credits per semester.
You can register for a maximum of 17 credits if your GPA the previous semester was less than a
2.6 or if you are registering for your first semester at UConn.
You can register for a maximum of 18 per semester if you have earned a 2.6 GPA or higher the
previous semester.
To register for more than 18 credits you must obtain the signatures of your advisor and the dean.

C. CREDITS TO GRADUATE
You need 120 degree credits to graduate but certain courses do not count towards degree
credit. These include Math 101, courses with the same number taken a second or third time (unless the
catalog description indicates the course can be repeated for credit), courses with the same number taken
once with and then without the W (writing intensive) component, and courses taken out of sequential
order.


19
D. THE CLAS 45 CREDIT RULE
This is a rule that only CLAS requires. Of your 120 degree credits, at least 45 credits must consist
of 200-level courses.

E. THE LAST 2 SEMESTERS
You must take your last two semesters of coursework at UConn/ Storrs or at a regional campus.
This is called the Residency Requirement. It can be waived by the CLAS dean or the Vice Provost
under certain circumstances. Please contact the CLAS Academic Services Center for more
information.

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 110/111
requirement. 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 to
university work is called ENGL 104, Basic Writing. Students placed in or who choose to take
English 104 must pass the course before taking either English 110 or 111.

The rhetorically based interdisciplinary course is called ENGL 110, Seminar in Academic
Writing, and it is described as instruction in academic writing through interdisciplinary readings.
Assignments emphasize interpretation, argumentation, and reflection. Revision of formal
assignments and instruction on grammar, mechanics, and style are included.
The literature based course is called ENGL 111, Seminar in Writing through Literature, and
it is described as instruction in academic writing through literary readings. Assignments emphasize
interpretation, argumentation, and reflection. Revision of formal assignments and instruction on
grammar, mechanics, and style are included.
C. ENGLISH CHOICES FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS
Students with transfer credit for ENGL 105 can complete the ENGL 110/111 requirement by
completing ENGL 111.
Students with transfer credit for ENGL 109 can complete it by completing ENGL 110.
Students with transfer credit for ENGL 105 and 109 have fulfilled the ENGL 110/111 requirement.


20
III. HOW TO CHOOSE Q COURSES

A. Q COURSE CHOICES FOR BA STUDENTS
Bachelor of Arts students do not have to take the Calculus Readiness Survey and, as a rule, should not
attempt 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 or
Statistics, you are required to take the Mathematics Calculus Readiness Survey to determine the
calculus course most appropriate for you. The Mathematics Calculus Readiness Survey should have
been taken seven days before orientation so that the scores are recorded in the PeopleSoft system. If you
have 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 ifyour 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 the
Calculus Readiness Survey. Please consult an advisor for assistance in determining where to start.

C. Q COURSE CHOICES FOR BS STUDENTS
Entering BS students will be advised about which Q courses (other than calculus courses) to take
based on a combination of the students MATH SAT score and/or class rank data. Statistics show
that 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 is
interested in taking. The point at which the student places on the graph will indicate the students
likelihood 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 in
MATH 101 in an attempt to gain better quantitative skills;
Postpone enrolling in the first Q course until one semester has elapsed (since studies show
students automatically do better).
Enroll in the first of a three sequence set of courses instead of the two sequence set (e.g. CHEM
124Q/125Q/126Q instead of CHEM 127Q/128Q).

IN CLAS YOU MUST FORMALLY DECLARE YOUR MAJOR

YOUR ADVISOR:
Your advisor during orientation is one of the professional advisors at the Academic Services Center;
Your advisor after orientation is one of the professional advisors at the Academic Services Center if
you are a Pre-Communications major (that is, Communication Processes, not Communication
Disorders) or if you are a Transfer Student who still needs transfer courses evaluated for General
Education Requirements;
Your advisor after orientation is a faculty advisor in your major department assigned to you by the
department contact (listed on inside back cover) for all majors but Pre-Communication.

TWO WAYS TO FORMALLY DECLARE YOUR CLAS MAJOR
A. During orientation, you can declare a CLAS major if you:
Indicate a CLAS major on your UConn application or tell your orientation leader that you are interested
in a CLAS major on Day One of your Freshmen Orientation or early in the day of your Transfer
Orientation;
Attend the CLAS advising session during orientation;
Are assigned a CLAS faculty advisor in your chosen major by a member of the Academic Services
Center advising team.

Note: Your faculty advisor and his or her contact details should be recorded on the inside front cover of this booklet
and your advisors name should be on your PeopleSoft record. Please check your PeopleSoft record two weeks
after orientation to make sure your major and advisor are correct. If not, call the Academic Services Center at 486-
2822. Contact your new advisor as soon as possible after declaring.

B. During any time of the academic year except orientation, you can declare a CLAS major if you:
Obtain a Program or Plan Change form either online (www.services.clas.uconn.edu) or from the
CLAS Academic Services Center (ASC);
Complete your portion of the form;
Check the inside back cover of this workbook to find out to which department contact you should
bring the form (note: if a double major, bring form to both departments);
Go to the department contact to have the name of your new CLAS advisor indicated on your form, and
if required by your major department, obtain your new advisors signature;
Bring or mail the form to the ASC for the deans signature and final processing.

Note: Please check your PeopleSoft record two weeks after dropping off the form to make sure your major and
advisor are correct. If not, call the Academic Services Center at 486-2822. Contact your new advisor as soon
as possible after declaring.

CATALOG RULES TO FOLLOW AFTER DECLARING YOUR MAJOR:
If you declare your CLAS major during orientation, you will be bound to follow the catalog rules in
effect when you first declared (e.g. catalog year 2006-2007).
If you declare your CLAS major any time after orientation and you are coming from ACES or another
school or college, you will be bound to follow the catalog rules in effect when you change into CLAS.
If you change from one CLAS major to another, you will be bound to follow the catalog rules in effect
when you first entered CLAS, as long as you do not change your school or college in between.
