Do seniors take a full class load or just the courses remaining for graduation requirements?6/1/2015
All students must begin the year with 8 classes (4 per semester). The only exception to this policy is senior student who are applying to be Mid-Year Graduates (MYG). During junior year registration, students are eligible to apply for graduation in January of their senior year. Only students who can finish all remaining course work in one semester (fall) will be approved to be MYGs.
Seniors are allowed to drop to classes during 2nd semester as part of the "Senior Drop" process. Only classes not required for graduation will be considered for Senior Drops. Higher education planning should be done based on the specific needs and goals of the individual student. Some students find it beneficial to stay local to attend for the first 2 years for a variety of reasons (finances, not being sure of career path, family obligations, etc...). Other students, are eager to start their collegiate journey away from home. The best thing to do is to consider the pros and cons of each option and do what is the best interest of the student.
The UNC System schools only require 3 sciences for admission to UNC System college/university; however, some pre-declaration programs, may require credits outside of the UNC general admission requirements. Private and out-of-state colleges/universities may have requirements that differ from the UNC general admission requirements. Seniors should visit the websites of schools they are interested in attending to see school/major specific admissions requirements.
