Course Requests
Please be aware that the OIP will work to accommodate as many course requests as possible. In the box below,
please list 10 course titles, course numbers, and the section you are interested in enrolling. By doing so, you are
NOT guaranteed enrollment in these courses.
*When looking at the course listings, note the times and days of the week they are offered, so that you don't
request registration for two classes that happen at the same time. Keep in mind that lower numbered courses are
typically less demanding (i.e. Psychology 101 is easier than Psychology 301)
OPEN/CLOSED CLASSES: Each semester, professors designate a certain number of students for the class, and
when that many students have signed up, the course is then CLOSED. With special permission from the
instructor, you may be able to get into a course that is closed. It depends on the professor, and is NOT
guaranteed.
PREREQUISITES: Some courses require that you take another course before it - this is called a prerequisite, or
prereq for short. Check the course catalog to see if a course needs a prereq. OIP may not be able to register you
for one of these courses, which will depend on your academic background.
HOW MANY CLASSES SHOULD I TAKE? As for the amount of courses you can take, you must take at least
12 credits to be considered a full-time student and to be in compliance with visa regulations. The maximum
number of credits you can take is 17, but we do not recommend taking more than 15 credits.

Participation Approval Form
Presbyterian College seeks to admit students who provide evidence of intellectual performance, good character,
and potential which will permit them to profit from programs of the academic rigor of those offered by
Presbyterian. The college recognizes that learning opportunities are enhanced by a secure environment. As part of
the Admissions process, we require applicants to respond to the following questions. Information provided in
response to these questions needs to be reviewed, but rarely results in denial of admission.
Have you ever been expelled, suspended, disciplined, or placed on probation by any secondary school or
college you have attended because of; academic dishonesty, financial impropriety, or an offense that
harmed or had the potential to harm others? *
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense (including guilty or no contest pleas and juvenile
court proceedings) other than minor traffic violations or are there criminal charges pending against you
at this time? *
If you answer yes to either of these questions, please explain in an attached letter. If circumstances arise
in the future (until the time you begin attending classes) that make your answers to the above questions
inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete, you must provide the Office of International Programs with
updated information.
If you have or will receive Bachelor’s degree or higher (or equivalent), or have attended other colleges or
universities, please enter the last school attended below and provide degree and graduation information.
If you have not attended a College or University, enter the name of your high school.
By signing your name here, you authorize Presbyterian College’s Office of International Programs (OIP)
to have access to information regarding your academic, social, and financial standing. You also
authorize the OIP to share any pertinent information with directors and staff overseas as needed. The
existence of a disciplinary record does not preclude admission, but will be considered in the overall
evaluation of the application. *
