About the various forms used in the Department of Economics
Economics 145: You cannot add Econ 145 through MySacState. The Department will add students to the section of their choice - if a 145 petition is submitted. You must fill out the petition completely. If you decide not to take the course in the semester in which you filled out the petition - or if you need to repeat the course, you need to fill out another petition. Forms are collected for the purpose of adding a student to Econ 145 for the current semester and are not kept on file.
Economics 195/295: Internships can count for 1-3 units of credit toward the Economics Major. However, Econ 295 cannot count as an elective without the approval of the Graduate Coordinator. Please read more about Internships in the Department of Economics.
Incompletes: Incomplete grades or "I" grades are not automatic. You must speak to your instructor and have an incomplete petition filed with the department in order to receive an incomplete. To qualify for an "I," you must be passing the course and have a justifiable reason for not completing the course by the end of the semester.
About Adds & Drops: Students may drop themselves using MySacState for the first two weeks of the semester (In some cases, you may still be able to add a class). However, for a majority of courses, you must petition to add after the first day of instruction. Beginning the third week of the semester - you must petition to add or drop through an academic department. After the fourth week of the semester (Census Date) - adds are not allowed unless there is a compelling reason beyond the control of the student. Drops after the fourth week require Instructor and Department Chair signatures. Drops after the sixth week require Instructor, Department Chair and College Dean signatures.
