Welcome to the Fall 2018 Semester!

Hello, IT Majors!  Welcome to the fall 2018 semester!
Please read below for some important information.

WAITLISTS
https://registrar.gmu.edu/topics/waitlists/

  • Waitlist overrides expire and are removed if they are not used within the 72 hour time period. If the override is removed you will be required to add back to the waitlist. Your waitlist position will most likely change.
  • The last waitlist overrides are issued 3 days (72 hours) before the semester begins.
  • Waitlists are purged on the first day of the semester. Registration then is first-come-first-served.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES

https://registrar.gmu.edu/calendars/fall–2018/

  • The last day to add full term courses to your schedule is 04 September. It is against department policy to override course capacity. If a course is full, you will need to get on a waitlist, take it another semester, or watch the course very closely to see if space becomes available during add/drop.
  • The Self/Web Withdrawal Period is 10-30 September with 100% tuition liability.
  • The Selective Withdrawal period is 01-28 October with 100% tuition liability. If you are in a third attempt of a course, if you self/web or selectively withdraw from it, you will automatically be designated for termination for not having completed the course in your required semester.
  • Don’t forget to apply to graduate through Patriotweb, if you plan on graduating this fall. All information about graduation can be found at https://registrar.gmu.edu/students/graduation/
ADVISING
https://ist.gmu.edu/go/advising
  • Don’t forget to schedule an advising appointment with one of the IST Department’s amazing full time academic advisors by using the online appointment system (linked above). Create your account using your MASON email address.
    • Mrs. Cheryl Howe (SciTech campus)
    • Mrs. Christy Genova (Faifax campus)
    • Mrs. Lisa Sevilla (Fairfax campus)
  • The wonderful IST faculty are also advisors…utilize them for career, content, and concentration advising;
  • IT majors can take any of the following sections of ENGH 302: Natural Sciences/Technology, Business, or Multidisciplinary;
  • JAVA vs PYTHON Enrollment Questions:
    • If you took IT 106 PYTHON, please be sure to register for IT 209 PYTHON. You may need an override to register for the course unless one was already provided to you in March 2018. Students who took PYTHON sections of IT 106 SHOULD NOT register for JAVA sections of IT 206 because they will not be amply prepared to succeed in it. Instructors have the authority to remove you from the course if you do not meet the prerequisite. Any academic or financial repercussions of this schedule change will be your responsibility.
    • If you took IT 106 JAVA, please register for IT 206 JAVA.
