Italian language classes have seen
record high demand in recent years. Our courses have limited enrollments and
strict attendance policies. Registration will begin in April 2009 for
continuing undergraduate students. Undergraduate degree candidates receive
priority enrollment in sections. Please note carefully the section you wish to
enroll in, and follow the registration procedures of your particular school.
Additional registration resumes in September 2009. Classes start Monday,
September 8, 2009. Although the University's Change of Program period runs
until September 18, 2009, the Department of Italian will require all
registration for language classes to be concluded by Monday, September 14, 2009.
No new registration for Italian language classes will be permitted after
Monday, September 14, 2009. Additionally no change of section will be permitted
after that date. Any issues about enrollment after that point must be brought
to the attention of the Department.
Attendance in language classes is
mandatory. Students are advised to secure their space in the section for which
they have registered; students are advised against "shopping around."
Students are strongly advised to select the appropriate section early, attend
that section and make a commitment to it. Additionally, swaps between students
in different sections will not be honored by the Department. Failure to attend
half the meetings of a section during the period Tuesday, September 8 - Monday,
September 14, 2009 will mean being dropped from the roster of that section.
Attendance at the first class meeting is mandatory. A student who is registered
for one section but attends another cannot be guaranteed a spot on the roster
of the desired section, and, given two absences, risks being dropped from the
section in which that student is enrolled.
Barnard students, please monitor your
Registrar's website for updated information on Fall 2009 registration
procedures.
If you are unable to register for a
course because it is full please contact italian@columbia.edu.
