SUMMARY OF ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES

(A) How to add an Economics class:

  1. To enroll in an Economics class you must use TELEBEARS.

  2. If you cannot immediately add a class, put yourself on the waitlist for the lecture and if the class has discussion sections, also on a waitlist for a section. You will not get into a lecture unless you get into a section. Because of this, it is a good idea to put yourself on the shortest possible section waitlist. If the waitlist is full, your chances of being enrolled are minimal.

  3. The waitlists are processed automatically by TELEBEARS, not by the department.

  4. If a course has seats set aside for "Instructor Approval", please contact the Economics Head Graduate Student Instructor ( ) in room 508-2 Evans Hall to see if you can apply for a class entry code. Be aware that there are very limited (if any) seats saved for this purpose and other students will be competing for them. The Head GSI will accept paper applications for CECs starting the first day of classes through Wednesday, January 30, 2008.

(B) To stay enrolled in an Economics class, you must attend lecture and sections during the first week of class. Attendance will be taken. If you are absent, you will be dropped. All drops due to non-attendance will be final. More detailed information on how to stay enrolled in an Economics class.

(C) If your section was cancelled, you have NOT been dropped. Logon to TELEBEARS and change sections using the Switch Sections option. Do NOT try to drop the lecture and then re-add it because you may not be allowed to re-add. More detailed information on what to do if your section was cancelled.

(D) To change sections, logon to TELEBEARS and change sections using the Switch Sections option. Do NOT drop the lecture and then re-add it because you may not be allowed to re-add. Note: if the section you want is full, you can try to enroll in another section taught by the same TA. TA names are listed on the online Schedule of Classes. If you are successful, tell your TA that you are enrolled in one of his/her sections but will be attending another. More detailed information on how to change sections.

(E) To drop an Economics class, you must use TELEBEARS and follow the instructions to drop a course. More detailed information on how to drop an Economics class.

Consult the Spring 2007 Schedule of Classes for deadlines regarding these procedures.
TELEBEARS can be accessed during the first five weeks of the semester.
