What can I do with the Secondary Fields Web Tool?

Considering a secondary field?

Create and save an online worksheet to track your progress toward the completion of a secondary field by recording which courses you want to count toward a given program. The worksheet can help you think about progressing toward a secondary field, but no one else will see this information.

Decided on a secondary field?

After choosing a concentration at the end of fall semester sophomore year, you may choose to work toward the completion of a secondary field. If you decide to do so, use this tool to notify the program of your interest and send your contact information and course plan to the secondary field adviser.

Remember: It is your responsibility to track your own progress, but you must talk to the secondary field adviser to make sure that the courses you choose will count for the secondary field.

Changed your mind?

Delete your worksheet and let the program know that you are no longer interested.

All done with your secondary field?

Once you have completed the course requirements for your secondary field (or, if you are a second term senior, once you have enrolled in the last of the required courses), there are two things you must do:

•  File your application and send it to the program and to the Registrar. Once you click “file,” you cannot change anything on-line.

•  Print the form, have it approved and signed by the secondary field adviser, and hand it in to the Registrar.

Remember: The Registrar must receive both the online and printed portions of your secondary field form.

The deadline for June and November 2008 graduates is March 17, 2008.
