Students who wish to take department permission courses must fill out the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) Pre-Registration Enrollment Request Form linked here. The form will begin accepting responses on Friday, April 7, 9:00 am. The form closes Thursday, April 13, 9:00 am. Forms submitted after that point are not likely to secure seats in courses.
Please note, at no time are spots held for AAD majors and minors. All students who wish to take AAD courses that require department permission, including declared majors and minors, must first request department permission via the CAS Pre-Registration Enrollment Request Form. Permissions are determined by the department at the close of this form and throughout the registration period. Please be advised that there is no guarantee that space will be available in the course you are interested in.
Department permission is given in the following priority order:
1. Declared AAD majors and minors, including IDEAS students with a concentration in the department
2. Freshmen taking 00-level courses
3. Non-major and non-minor students, and undeclared students above the freshman level
More information about declaring majors and minors can be found here. Contact Pam Mongi if you have further questions about declaring.
Requesting department permission does not register you for a class. If and when you receive department permission, you will be alerted via email. Please at that time register for the class according to the official university registration dates and times for your class year.
Department permission expirations:
Department permissions expire at 12:00 p.m. two days after your official registration date. If for example your registration date is April 17, then your permission expires April 19 at 12:00 p.m. After the first week of registration, department permissions expire two days after receiving the email stating your status.
Non-major and non-minor students are welcome to apply for department permission for courses they are interested in, and will be considered for permission according to the priority order above.
Please contact Christine Kreschollek ctk213@lehigh.edu for information about how to get on the waitlist for departmental permission ART and DES courses. For ARCH courses please contact Pam Mongi pgm0@lehigh.edu.
Waitlists for non-department permission courses are managed by the Registrar. Please follow this link to learn more about how you can get on the Registrar’s Office waitlist.
The first day of class is mandatory for all students. Rostered as well as waitlisted students are required to attend the first day of class. During the first class session, the professor will review waitlisted students to determine if a student can be added to the class. If you do not attend the first day of class, the professor will replace your space with another student and you will be required to drop the class.
To learn more about the declaration process and the forms you will need to fill out, including the university's major declaration form, please follow this link and search for MAJOR DECLARATION FORM.
Please contact Department Coordinator, Pam Mongi (pgm0@lehigh.edu) if you have any questions.
If you are already a declared major or minor, please consult with your advisor on what courses to take, and in what suggested sequence. If you are undeclared and do not yet have an advisor in the department, please refer to the course catalog, which lists what courses are required for majors.
