Academic Policies and Procedures

Registration

Incoming M.S.S. students will receive their schedule of assigned courses during the summer preceding their first fall semester. During orientation, incoming M.S.S. and Ph.D. students will meet with their advisors to review the schedule. All students may choose to meet with advisors in November to discuss courses for the second semester.

Enrollment in all classes is limited and subject to the availability of openings in the course.

Spring semester registration materials are distributed to all students at the end of November. Students will register on-line in early December. In April, returning students receive registration materials and register on-line for the following fall semester. They may meet with their advisors to discuss course selections. The deadline for summer registration is late March.

All students are issued an account and password for using Virtual Bryn Mawr.  Students use Virtual Bryn Mawr to register for classes, view their transcript and their student accounts, to request an official transcript, and to view their paycheck if they are employed on campus, etc.  Complete instructions for using Virtual Bryn Mawr are on the School’s web site:  http://www.brynmawr.edu/socialwork/

Special Courses :  Tutorials, Master’s Paper, master’s students taking doctoral courses, and University of Pennsylvania courses all require permission of your advisor and of the instructor.  These courses will NOT be available on Virtual Bryn Mawr.  To enroll in these courses you must submit an add/drop form to the Dean’s Office and document appropriate permission.  All of these courses are billed the same as Bryn Mawr courses. Faculty members will offer tutorials only after consultation with the Dean on the availability of teaching time.

See below for more details on taking courses at the University of Pennsylvania.
