Second Summer Registration

BannerWeb Registration Dates

Information for 2013 registration will be available by January 2013.

Although OAS staff will run routine degree audits at the end of each registration period, students bear responsibility for meeting degree requirements. Changes can and often do occur after registration. If you are registered for a course that changes term or meeting time, OAS will send a notice of the change to you, attempt to register you again in the changed offering, and follow up if there is a time conflict.

 

Second Summer Requirements

Second-summer students register for one elective in Term 1 and two electives in Term 2 that do not conflict with the required courses that have already been scheduled. Do not drop, delete or change any required courses on your record, including any that meet FOAMS requirements! If you do so inadvertently, please notify OAS staff at once by email (sswoas@smith.edu), giving us your 99 number and the course you dropped or changed.

Summer Term 1 Courses

• 301 Clinical Social Work Practice (PRAC), 2 credits
• 331 Comparative Psychodynamic Theories for Clinical Social Work Practice (HBSE), 2 credits
• 334 Racism in the United States: Implications for Social Work Practice (HBSE), 2 credits
• 380, 382 or 384 Social Work Research Methods, Introductory, Intermediate, or Advanced (RESH), 2 credits

Summer Term 2 Courses

• 330 Child Development from Infancy to Adolescence (HBSE) or, depending upon waiver application (see below), 333 Developmental Deviations in Childhood and Adolescence (HBSE), 2 credits
• 381, 383 or 385 Social Work Research Methods, Introductory, Intermediate or Advanced, continued (RESH), 2 credits
• Two electives (use the CRNs to register)

 

FOAMS

As a second-summer student, you need to start meeting the FOAMS (required elective) requirements. You should try to take as many as possible so that, by your third summer when the process is very competitive, you will have more options. Courses coded "3rd sum" or "Sr" on elective listings are available to third-summer students only. 2012 electives are available here and will be updated in February 2013.

New electives must run for three years before they are considered for addition to the permanent online course listings.

Please note: Electives coded "free" count toward the degree but not toward the FOAMS.

 

Transferring and Waiving Courses

If you have completed course work elsewhere that closely aligns with the description of any of the above required courses and that has not already been transferred to your record, you may petition for transfer credit (see Master's Program Handbook, section 200.12). The transfer form is due April 1.

You may also petition to waive a course and replace it with an elective. Students should not attempt to transfer and waive the same course. If you are approved for transfer credit or waiver and are already registered, OAS staff will work with you to adjust your schedule.

Please note the deadlines on the forms. Your request has a better chance of being considered if you meet the deadline.
