REQUISITE INFORMATION Many courses have mandatory prerequisites or co-requisites listed in the academic catalog or in the Dynamic Schedule of Classes. Each student is responsible for meeting the published prerequisites or co-requisites for each registered course. After each registration and grading period, colleges, schools, and departments may review the completion of prerequisites and co-requisites of registered students. The academic units have the authority to administratively drop a student from a course for which the student has not fulfilled the published prerequisites or co-requisites. If you experience registration errors, this would indicate that you are attempting to register for a course in which you have not met the approved prerequisites, co-requisites, or class restrictions. For a guide to determine the various error messages and proper corrective action, go to http://www.indstate.edu/registrar/pdf/RegistrationErrorsTable.pdf For a short video outlining various Online Registration Errors, go to: http://www.indstate.edu/registrar/videotutorial.htm TRACKING DEGREE PROGRESS A student may track progress towards degree completion with the use of degree mapping software which is accessible through the student portal. Students whose catalog year is Fall 2012 or later should refer to their Student Academic Map (mySAM) whereas students whose catalog year precedes Fall 2012 should refer to the Degree Audit Reporting Systems (DARS). The purpose of the degree mapping software is to provide students with a current account of courses taken (including earned credit hours and earned grades), and indicate remaining graduation and program deficiencies. Although the degree mapping software is NOT an official document, it is a useful tool for advisors and students to use, and students are encouraged to use this software to plan class schedules each semester. Degrees are certified by the individual colleges and not the degree mapping tools. CREDIT BY EXAMINATION The University's Credit by Examination Program enables students to earn credit toward degrees if satisfactory scores are earned on select examinations. For further information on the College Level Examinations Program (CLEP), visit the University Testing Office Web site at http://www.indstate.edu/testing/. You may also contact the University Testing Office directly by calling 812-237-7666, toll-free 1-800-GO-TO-ISU, or emailing testing@indstate.edu. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Indiana State University requires all international freshman and transfer undergraduate students to take the English Placement Test, which is administered by the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics to determine your level of English writing proficiency and to determine whether you need to take an ESL class and, if so, which class you must take. Please note: The test is offered only during the international student orientation. Students must bring some form of picture identification, such as a passport. For additional information, please contact the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics at 812-237-2677. Beginning in the fall of 2014, Indiana State University will charge a special administrative management fee of $300 per semester for sponsored international students and scholars who require third party billings and need extra assistance or whose sponsors have indicated a requirement for supplementary assistance beyond that of regular university programming. Revenues from the fee may also cover programs for sponsored students requiring special training, research costs, equipment, enrichment, or required travel or other needs deemed necessary by the sponsor.

This information is required for both federal and state reporting such as 1098T (Federal Tax form) and financial aid.
