Year Two, Three and Four Students

All ADM Year 2, 3 and 4 Students will register for courses in Core and Prescribed Electives using STARS. The registration period will be per university-designated times and will follow the standard university process and procedures. Please refer to the following website for the university registration information:

Pages/default.aspx

All Core Compulsory Courses in each Major area will have places reserved for students in the Major area.  Students in each Major area are assured of a place in their Core Compulsory Courses.  After Major area students have enrolled, the remaining places are open to any ADM student to enroll as a Prescribed Elective.

Each course will be capped at a number of places that can be accommodated by the instructor and the facilities.

For Prescribed Electives offered by each major area, these courses are open to ANY student from ANY major to enroll. The process for enrolling will follow the standard university process. In NTU, a student in Year Four is allowed access to elective courses first, followed by Year Three, and Year Two. This ensures that students closer to graduation may enroll in the courses necessary to allow them to complete the BFA Degree requirements in 4 years.

Certain exceptions may be made if there is reason to allow a student to enroll in a course even though the class is full. The School will attempt to help students to enroll in the courses needed whenever possible to ensure that each student is able to graduate in 4 years. For special cases, please see the Associate Chair (Academic) or the Academic Manager.
