Spring and Summer 2013 Course Scheduling

Please find the Spring and Summer 2013 Course Schedule attached.  Registration opened on Monday, November 5th.  If you have any questions or  would like to set up an advising appointment to discuss your schedule, please
contact Jamie Patterson (jpatte4 at clemson.edu<mailto:jpatte4 at clemson.edu>) or Jane Layton (elayton at clemson.edu<mailto:elayton at clemson.edu>).  MBA 899- Advanced Leadership is already full for Spring 2013.  We have added an additional section of this course to Summer I.  MBA 809 is also closed for Spring 2013.  There is an additional section of MBA 809 in Summer I.

Registering for Electives:

As you can see in the course schedule, many of our electives are coded different than MBA.  For example:  Supply Chain Management is coded MGT 812, Heath Care Ethics is coded MHA 724, Macro Marketing is coded MKT 866.  Because you are an MBA student, you can only register for classes that are coded as MBA, however, the electives that are listed on the course schedules attached are MBA class electives and you get priority.  When you go to register for these electives that are coded other than MBA, it will tell you that they are closed, but they are not.  All you will need to do is add you name to the request log and the MGT, MKT, or MHA department heads will add you in.  In addition, I would also like to remind you that we have moved to an elective system where you can pick and choose your three electives from any of the former emphasis areas.  If you wish to follow the old plan of the emphasis area, you can  do that as well.  We are happy to give you the flexibility to pick and choose so you can tailor your electives to be most beneficial to you and what you are looking to do upon graduation.

Registering for the Seminar Series (MBA 880/850/881):

You must register for all three seminar classes together.   The system will tell you that there is an overlap, but this is ok.  Also, when registering for MBA 880, it will ask you to enter the number of credit hours.  It is 1.  Each seminar class is equal to 1 credit hour.
