The registration process is now paperless! All students, will be using the Banner Web system to register for classes.

Faculty advisors will obtain alternate pin numbers for all of their student advisees, which will allow students to register online. Because of this process, it is important for faculty advisors to maintain contact with advisees and take very detailed advisement notes. This will ensure that the correct processes were in place at each advisement session. Students, make sure you meet with and discuss your options with your advisor before obtaining the pin number. This will ensure you stay on track with program requirements and graduation requirements.

As always, Seniors are allowed to register first, and it follows in chronological order Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen.

There is a new method to look up the Alternate PIN's for your advises. You may look them up on-line at any time:

Sophomore/Junior?
Math prerequisite for Physics I: PSC 2001.

It is often said that Math is the language used to talk about Physics. In particular algebra and trigonometry are big part of every lecture and lab for the college physics courses: PSC 2001 and PSC 2002. You can imagine how frustrating it would be to take a required college class delivered in a foreign language that you only barely understood. If you take physics without being comfortable with your knowledge of algebra and trig, you will be extremely disadvantaged. Therefore if you are planning to take PSC 2001 next fall, you may need to take a math course this spring.

The Math prerequisite for PSC 2001 is MTH 1111 or higher. In the past there was no formal math prereq for physics. In these classes of students who had no college math classes, 55% failed to pass the first physics class. Many of those who passed the course got a grade of C or lower. It is frustrating for students to sit in a class and not be able to understand the words being used.

Students who had excellent grades in four years of college prep math in high school may be able to take physics without taking a college level math class. However, if you have any doubts about your competency in using basic algebra and trig, you should take MTH 1111 before attempting physics.

Calculus Based Physics to be offered next year:

Beginning in the Fall of '10 a two course sequence in calculus based physics will be offered. This sequence would be a good choice for students who have taken MTH 2211 or MTH 2222. This is one of the few classes that give students an opportunity to use calculus to solve problems.

Pre-med majors and science majors who plan to go to grad school should be especially interested in this course. Some grad schools and med schools expect applicants to have taken calc based physics.

Junior Nursing students who are registering for the evening NSG 3300 Lab G or Lab N, there are day clinical associated with the labs, so you will not be able to register for academic classes during the day.

The School of Nursing is now accepting applications to the ENTER program.

ENTER is a criterion based, early admission program for nursing students. The program is available for first year students at The College of St. Scholastica. Students who upon admission to the College, declare their intent to pursue a baccalaureate degree in nursing will be guaranteed admission to that program after one and a half years of undergraduate work if they meet the plan criteria.

Applications are due on December 22, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. to the School of Nursing Office, Science 3110.

To obtain additional information about ENTER and to download an application go to www.cs s.edu/apply2ENTER.xml or stop by the School of Nursing Office, Science 3110.

Campus Ministry wants to know what students think!

Please encourage your students to take this survey and have a chance to win an iPod Touch.

The Gerontology minor is an excellent complement to most majors. By the year 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be age 65 years or older. In Minnesota, the number of older adults is expected to double in the next 25 years. No matter your field of work, you will be likely to work with some-or many older adults. Several of the courses that fulfill the requirements for the Gerontology minor also fulfill requirements for other majors and minors. With the addition of a course or two, you may meet the requirements for the minor. See Dr. Angela Hauger, T3650, phone 723-6148, or e- mail ahauger@css.edu for more information.
