The CSCE 590 topic classes offered next spring are: Dr Hu: Mobile Application Development (Cordova) Dr Terejanu: Data Visualization Dr Thatcher: Business Modeling for Decision Support

As you prepare for advisement next week, note that we now have posted a schedule of future class offerings which tells you if a class will be offered in the Fall, Spring, or Summer in the future. These are just plans so there are no guarantees, but we will try our best to make these plans happen so you can graduate on time.

Advisement for the Summer and Fall 2015 semesters will run March 16 to 27. All students must be advised before they can register for classes. We have published a new class offering schedule plan which shows which future semesters we plan to offer each of the required major classes. Use it to plan your future schedule. You can find your advisor's name by going to my.sc.edu and login in by clicking on "Sign in to Self Service Carolina (SSC)". Then go to "Student Records", then "View Student Information". Or, you can drop by Student Services. Make sure that you satisfy all the prereqs of the classes that you plan to take. If you sign up for a class that for which you don't have prereqs you will be dropped from it early in the semester. This is a pain. If you believe you don't need the prereqs discuss it with your advisor. If he or she agrees then you can fill out a Request for Prereq Waiver. If that request is approved they you can take the class. If a class is full by the time you try to sign up for it, fill out our Override Request form and we will try to increase the class size so you can sign up. Some deadlines to remember:

1. If you are a second-semester Sophomore then you must file an upper division form with Student Services.
2. If you are a second-semester Junior then you should do a Senior check at Student Services, to check that you will have all the classes required to graduate.
3. If you will graduate at the end of this semester then you must turn in your Application for Degree at Student Services.

Dr. O'Kane has made some nice graphs that capture the various class prereqs.

The tutoring is in the cube near Swearingen’s Assembly Street (Sonic) entrance. We have greater math coverage than before as well as some key courses in several engineering, computing and science areas. The schedule is also posted around several bulletin boards in our buildings. The tutors are hired and paid by the Student Success Center with an attempt to align their abilities with our degree programs. Many are our majors. This is non-remedial, drop-in tutoring. A place to ask another student for help with a problem. Appointment-based tutoring is also available in the Student Success Center in the T-Coop library.

Our CSCE 390 course now satisfies the Carolina Core VSR (Values, Ethics, and Social Responsibility) requirement. All Computer majors are required to take CSCE 390. Thus, Computer majors (CS, CE, CIS) do not need to take any other Carolina Core VSR class because this requirement will be fulfilled when they take 390.

Advisement for Summer and Fall 2014 semesters will be on March 17-28th. Students must be advised in order to register. You can find out the name of your advisor in Self Service Carolina. You can then contact your advisor or drop by their office as most of them will have sign up sheets outside their office. Registration time tickets will be available to students on Friday, March 7th on Self Service Carolina. Registration will begin on April 14th. Here is the list of the Carolina Core courses. Remember to check to make sure you satisfy the pre-reqs for each class. If you sign up for a class without satisfying the pre-reqs you will be dropped from it when the semester starts, at which point it will be much harder to find a suitable class. If you think you do not need to take the pre-reqs, talk to your advisor, if he agrees then you can fill out a pre-req waiver form and request that the pre-req be waived. If you want to change majors, please visit Student Services. If you wish to take courses over the Summer at another university, please visit Student Services for transient permission. Here is the list of classes USC will accept as transfers from other Universities.
