Course cancellations force adiustii mm mm BY AMY CURTIS The Battalion Course cancellations have stu dents altering their schedules at the last minute and department heads working with them to en sure everyones benefit. Rick Crow, the assistant regis trar, said there were about as many cancellations this term as there was last term. Crow said in general, low en rollment causes classes to be can celed. There is a minimum re quirement of 10 students for undergraduate classes, and five in graduate classes. If a class does not meet the minimum require ment, then it is canceled. Student’s are usually notified of these cancellations before or soon after the semester starts. Crow said classes can be can celed for reasons other than low enrollment such as a teacher quit ting or lack of funds. “Students enrolled in courses canceled for other reasons are usually notified the week before the term starts,” Crow said. Crow said if a course is canceled more than two or three semesters in a row, it is usually not offered again. He also said the registrar's office is compiling the number of cancellations now, and the num bers will not be available until the end of the week. Crow said it is the various department heads who make the final decision about what classes are canceled, and they no tify the registrar’s office.
