A person who has been accepted for admission to the University of Guam may register for course by conference upon special arrangements with the appropriate college/unit. A conference course is a regular catalog course that is not offered in the current semester. A conference course will not be approved if the course already appears on the regular schedule of classes.
Enrollment in these courses requires advisor, professor, division/department chairs, and dean/director approval. A student studies privately with a professor. Deadline for registration for the course by conference is the last day of schedule adjustment (add/drop) of each regular semester and finakpo’ terms. After obtaining this approval, the formal registration and payment for course by conference shall take place at the Global Learning & Engagement Office on the second floor of the Micronesian Area Research Center/Computer Center building. All other rules and regulations apply.
NOTE: If the Course by Conference is to be used for graduation requirements, grades must
be submitted by the professor by the graduating student deadline. In addition, the
required contact hours must also be met between the student and the professor for
academic credit.
Conference courses are courses described in this catalog but not listed on the official semester or term class schedule. A graduate student may enroll and study privately with the professor if the advisor, instructor, graduate program chair, appropriate academic dean or director approve the justification for such enrollment. A conference course will not be approved if the course already appears on the regular schedule of classes.
Application forms for a conference course can be obtained from the Professional & International Program Office. Students must first have the forms approved by the instructor. After obtaining the required signatures, the formal registration and payment of required fees for these courses shall take place. If the course is to be used for graduation requirements, grades must be submitted by the instructor on the required deadline. In addition, the required contact hours must also be met between the student and the instructor for academic credit. All other rules and regulations apply.
Letter symbols appearing immediately after course numbers are to be interpreted as follows. Small-case letters “a-b” mean a two-semester sequence to be taken in order. When small-case letters are separated by a comma instead of a dash, these symbols indicate that even though the courses are closely related, they need not be taken in the a, b order if conditions make it more expedient to reverse the order.
Parenthetical figures following the course title indicate the number of credit hours a course carries.
