We send Colloquium information to students’ ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ email account, so you should check that account first.

All the College Colloquium classes are described on the Colloquium website. See the current Course Offerings for full course descriptions.

You do not rank your six choices, but we assign you to one of your choices since all were of interest to you.

All of the College Colloquia are intended to serve as general introductions to the range of approaches and capacities encompassed by the liberal arts and sciences. None of them are intended as introductions to majors. So you should pick a colloquium because the themes and questions in it interest you, and not because you are anticipating a major. Your Colloquium instructor will be your faculty advisor, and can advise you regarding general academic matters such as general education requirements and help you choose a major. When you eventually declare a major, you'll pick an advisor in the department who will be able to provide knowledgeable information about requirements within the field; that person will replace your Colloquium instructor as your advisor.

We ask you to select six options that you're interested in so as to provide us with some flexibility in assigning you to a specific colloquium course. We adjust enrollment in each section according to several criteria, including gender of students and class size. We like to provide for diversity in each section so that you don't end up in a class of people from the same region, or all men (or women), etc. We also keep each section small -- around 14 students. Having several course options from each student to work with provides us with flexibility to make these adjustments and even out the enrollment in each section.

You will learn your College Colloquium section by e-mail on June 1st. Once you are officially notified of your colloquium section you can read the descriptions of the Course Offerings. You should also look at your colloquium website on , ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ's collaborative learning environment. You will find a welcome letter that may contain a summer assignment. Your colloquium instructor may also be using WISE to post announcements, syllabi, assignments, grades and course readings and to include other tools, such as blogs, wikis, live chat, and discussion boards in course activities. For help with logging into and using WISE please visit our section on WISE sites.

The simple answer is you don't need to take Colloquium if you have enough credits to transfer as a sophomore. The Summer Registration counselor's office should be in contact with you to help you get registered for classes. If you don't hear from them, you can call the office at (503) 370-6573.

Yes, the Colloquium counts as a class; you will register for THREE classes in addition to Colloquium. You will work with an Advising Counselor during a phone advising and registration appointment during June or early July.

If you successfully submitted your preference form electronically, the Associate Dean will receive and process it. After the web form is turned off you must call Summer Registration at (503) 370-6573. Note that you must be assigned to a College Colloquium section before you can register for other courses.
