POSTBACCALAUREATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS Special postbaccalaureate students (6LS): A stu- dent who has received a baccalaureate degree but who is not seeking admission to the Gradu- ate School may, under certain conditions, be admitted as a special student (6LS). The appli- cant must meet deadlines printed in the univer- sity calendar. The college will seek the approval of the appropriate academic officer, the chair of the department specified by the student, the graduate coordinator of the department, or the Office of Preprofessional Education. Such approval must be granted for admission. Stu- dents making application for admission under 6LS classification must declare a specific major field of study. Graduate Students: Details for admission are given in the Graduate School catalog. Academic Advisement Upon admission to an upper division major the student should contact a departmental aca- demic adviser. Students are allowed consider- able freedom in planning their programs within the framework of college and departmental requirements. The faculty member's role is pri- marily to give advice. The student assumes the major responsibility for fulfilling college and departmental degree requirements. Throughout the semester, group advising sessions are available for students at various stages of their academic careers or with specific interests (i.e., pre-med, pre-law, graduating seniors). Students may get more information about the sessions and register for them in the Academic Advisement Center (358 Little Hall).
