Department of Radio-Television-Film

Attendance is required at the first class meeting of Radio-Television-Film 317 and 318 and all upper-division radio-television-film courses. At the discretion of the instructor, students who do not attend the first class meeting may be dropped from the course, even if they have registered and paid their fees.

For Radio-Television-Film 317 and 318, the department restricts enrollment during the first registration period to radio-television-film majors. During later registration periods, courses in which space is available may be opened to nonmajors. Most upper-division radio-television-film courses are restricted to radio-television-film majors. At any time, a nonmajor may ask the instructor for consent to register for his or her course. However, faculty members often do not give nonmajors consent to enroll until demand for the course can be determined on the first class day.

Consent of the instructor is part of the prerequisite given below for a small number of upper-division courses. Students request consent the semester before they plan to take a course. Consent Week is usually the first week of October for the spring semester, and the first week of April for the summer sessions and the fall semester. Dates are posted outside the department office and published online. Instructions for applying for consent are available online.

Requirements for consent are posted along with course descriptions and publicized by the department. The student should check the posted course descriptions prior to Consent Week and should see the instructor for more information.

The Department of Radio-Television-Film reserves the right to retain and to use for noncommercial purposes copies of all work completed by students as part of departmental course assignments.

Unless otherwise stated below, each course meets for three lecture hours a week for one semester. Because prerequisites are subject to change, students should consult the Course Schedule before registering.
