| Academic Information: Summer Academic Checklist for Transfer and Horizon Students |
There are a number of tasks that we would like you to complete over the summer in preparation for your arrival on campus in August.
- Fill Out the Advising Questionnaire: The advising questionnaire will ask you for information about your academic interests and goals. Please click on Advising Questionnaire to the right, and submit the form as soon as possible.
- Prepare a Tentative Schedule. During orientation, you will meet with your academic advisor to discuss your academic interests and finalize your schedule before registration on Monday, September 1. Between now and then, please take some time to become familiar with the fall term Schedule of Classes and the Academic Catalog. The catalog contains course descriptions, prerequisite information, and ESP general education codes. The schedule of classes will tell you which courses are open to first-year students (designated by * on the far left of the schedule), how many credits courses are worth, when they meet, who the professors are, and whether they fulfill ESP requirements (which are designated by codes on the far right of the schedule of classes – see Education through Skills and Perspectives link for more information). A typical course load is four 4-credit courses per term. In preparation for your first meeting with your advisor, please put together a list of between six and eight courses from the schedule that interest you.
- Take Online Placement Tests. Placement tests are available for French, Spanish, German, Latin, Chemistry, Math/Quantitative Reasoning, and Psychology. If you already have college credit in one or more of these subject areas, please contact Alison Ridley, dean of academic services, at aridley@hollins.edu to determine whether or not you should still take the placement tests. Please click on the Placement Tests link to find out which tests are required and which are optional. Placement tests must be completed between June 15 and August 1.
