2. Adult Degree Classes, Section Numbers, and Priority Registration: This is something you dealt with last semester, but remember, Adult Degree classes (which means most online classes for fall) are using a new section number system. As you look at the schedule of classes, you will see that all courses have a class number (e.g., ANTHRO 320), a section number (e.g., 0001, 0800, 1200), and an SIS number (e.g., 9787 – the number you enter in SIS to register). If you see an online class with a section number beginning in “0” (e.g., 0800 or 0801), it is a “regular” class, and you can register for it as you would any other class at UW-Green Bay. If you see an online class with a section number beginning in “1” (e.g., 1200, 1800), it is a class offered through Adult Degree, and that’s where the differences begin. Adult Degree classes are restricted in many ways to their program’s students, and they have two sets of section and SIS numbers. They have both a 1200 and an 1800 section number, but those actually refer to the SAME CLASS. See example below using Anthropology 320. These two entries are actually for one class taught by the same instructor. The class as a whole is capped at 35 students, and 30 of those seats are assigned to section 1200, with 5 seats assigned to section 1800. Again, though, it’s the same class. However, students need to register for different “sections” depending on who they are. Section 1200 is open ONLY to IST majors in the Adult Degree program, so it is listed as “open”, but it is really only open to those IST/Adult Degree students. Section 1800 is for all other students, BUT there may be a priority registration for Bellin Nursing students until a much later date, so all other students will not be able to get into the class (if there are any seats remaining) until after that date. You can, however, waitlist yourself for one of these classes at the time of your registration appointment. If you want a chance at getting into one of these classes, that is what I would encourage you to do. The sooner you waitlist, the higher on the list you will be. The key, though, is that you can ONLY waitlist yourself for an 1800 (or 1801 or 1802) section number – not the 1200 or 1201 number. Adult Degree instructors have been told not to grant closed course waivers, and there is no guarantee that any non-IST students will get into these classes. I would not encourage you to see them as a high probability options, but we do typically have some students ultimately get into these classes. The great news for ANTHRO 320 is that two “regular” sections (0800 and 0801) are being offered for fall (see “Human Development Registration Updates” story).

2. Counseling across the Lifespan: Counseling across the Lifespan has a new title. It is still PSYCH 438, and it still counts in the same way toward the Psychology major, the Psychology minor, and the Human Development major. The new title is Counseling and Psychotherapy. Under its new title, it also will not be a writing emphasis class. Students who took the class previously (as Counseling across the Lifespan for spring 2013 or before) will still receive WE credit, but students from Fall 2013 onward will not.

3. Psychology and Culture: After a couple year absence Psychology and Culture is back! As a reminder, it is an upper-level elective for the Psychology major and minor. It is also a world culture class for General Education. The prerequisites have also been changed. They are now PSYCH 102 and soph. standing. You do not need a research methods class first.

2. Electives: In case you are looking for it, there are no planned sections of Human Sexuality for fall through either Human Development or Adult Degree. Human development is only offering 1 section of Cross-Cultural Human Development (an additional one may be offered through Adult Degree), but we will have 3 sections of Culture, Development, and Health, which counts in the same upper-level elective category for the major. Overall, we are offering 11 sections of upper-level Human Development electives, so students should have a good selection of options.

3. Sociology/Anthropology Requirement: Dr. Jill White is teaching two fully on-line sections of ANTHRO 320 Myth, Ritual, Symbol, and Religion in the fall – a class that meets the upper-level Anthroplogy/Sociology requirement for the Human Development major. She is teaching them fully online which will maximize the number of students who can work them into their schedules. If you are a Human Development student, you will be able to register for these two sections (sections 0800 or 0801 only) at the time of your registration appointment. If you want to get into the class, it is crucial you register ASAP. Because these are Anthropology courses, not Human Development, our majors and minors do not have registration priority other than what they have based on their credit status (e.g., being a senior). You will be competing with students from all other programs for seats. Note that there are additional sections of ANTHRO 320 offered through Adult Degree. Our students will not be able to register for those at the time of the registration date unless they are also an interdisciplinary studies major (i.e., an Adult Degree student). If sections 0800 and 0801 are full and have long waitlists, however, you can waitlist yourself for sections 1800 or 1801 at the time of your registration appointment, and you should do so to get the highest waitlist position possible. Keep in mind, though, that there is absolutely no guarantee you will get into the class from the waiting list – no matter how high you are on that list.

Other options for this requirement for fall:

ANTHRO 340 Medical Anthropology (P: Anthro 100) – offered online through Adult Degree. Remember registration restrictions apply (see Special News Alert: Some University-Level Registration Issues story)

For graduating seniors only, if there is an upper-level (300 or 400 level) Sociology class you would like to take that does not fall on the current list of options (but you meet the pre-requisites for it), consult with Dr. Vespia to see if she would consider a would consider signing off on this as a course substitution for the ANTHRO/SOCIOL requirement.
