Enrolling in World Literature
REGISTRATION
Students may register for World Literature courses through the online registration system during the registration period. If the sections are full, you may add your name to the waiting list by filling out the department’s online waiting list form or by calling the main office. Because of the heavy demand, the department generally cannot honor requests for specific times or instructors. Individual instructors cannot give permission for you to be added to their section. The office associates in Haley 9030 will fill openings as they become available on a first-come basis in the order of the waiting list. After you have added your name to the waiting list, you should check your schedule on a regular basis to see if you have been added to a section.
GRADUATING SENIORS
If you need World Literature II in your final semester to graduate, you will receive priority registration from the department when you bring your graduation verification from your advisor to the department main office.
REGISTRATION DURING FIRST WEEK OF CLASS
The department may announce on its website that the waiting list is closed near the beginning of the semester after the office associates have placed students who have been on the waiting list. At this time, the department can reopen sections for online registration a few days before the beginning of the semester through the first day of class. Students who hope to adjust their schedules should check regularly for last-minute openings. After the first day of class, the department continues to add students through the first week of class. It is department policy not to add students after the end of the first week of class.
PREREQUISITES
The prerequisite for ENGL 2200 is a grade of C or better in ENGL 1120; for ENGL 2207 a grade of C or better in ENGL 1127; for 2210 a grade of D or better in ENGL 2200; and for 2217 a grade of D or better in 2207.
TRANSFER CREDIT
Not all sophomore literature sequences serve as equivalent for transfer purposes to Auburn’s World Literature sequence. Generally speaking, if you complete a two-course survey sequence in World Literature, English Literature, or American Literature, it will be accepted as transfer credit for World Literature. If you attempt to transfer a single literature course from a survey sequence, it will usually count as World Literature II unless it is the first course of a World Literature sequence. (For example, American or English Literature I by itself will normally transfer as World Literature II.) It is important for students to obtain prior assurance from their advisors that particular courses taken elsewhere will fulfill Auburn’s core literature requirement. The criteria for equivalency are specified in the University Bulletin. Advisors will refer uncertain cases to the Coordinator of World Literature, email.
