all Madrid students: 

Our office will pre-register you for CAS 200 and/or the optional Signature Seminar (BIO 312) if applicable. 

Our office adds CAS 200 and BIO 312 (the Signature Seminar) to your schedule before online registration starts. If you need to take a total of more than 17 credits including the Signature Seminar, but haven't yet notified our office, email the Academic Team immediately to make arrangements to register to raise your 17-credit limit. 

If you're placed in an internship, you'll be registered for BPS 400 when you are in Madrid, after your placement is confirmed. If you have expressed interest in an internship by submitting the Internship Request Form in OrangeAbroad, please see the Internships webpage for details.

Restrictions

Restrictions based on demand and major

Some course subjects are in high demand abroad. In these cases, we sometimes need to limit the number of courses available to non-majors. This policy is designed in the interest of fairness, to maximize the number of students who have access to a course listed under a popular topic while studying in Madrid. 

If you disregard these directives and do not meet the requirements according to the transcript information available to us, you will be dropped from the additional restricted course. (MySlice will not prevent you from registering for more than one of these courses.) 

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. 

• Art History majors may register online for two HOA courses; all other students are limited to one HOA course. 

• Economics majors may register online for two ECN courses; all other students are limited to one ECN course. 

• Political Science/Public Policy/Government majors may register online for two PSC courses; all other students are limited to one PSC course. 

• Psychology majors and minors may register online for two PSY courses; all other students are limited to one PSY course. 

• Additional seats in enrollment-restricted courses above may be available during online Schedule Adjustment, if space remains after majors have been seated. 

Courses in High Demand

Based on information from the submitted Course Preference Forms, some courses are likely to reach capacity and close during registration. Be sure to have some alternative classes identified, in case a class you hoped to take is full when you register. If you need to re-work your schedule when these classes fill, we've identified courses to consider as alternatives. (This list is not intended as a complete list of all classes that will close.)

Remember to check for any time conflicts with your alternative course selections.
