For Admitted Students of the Special Student Program

Students who have been admitted as Special Students for the Fall or Spring Semester are required to schedule a twenty-minute advising appointment with the Office of Continuing Education prior to the start of classes. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the proposed program of study and to finalize registration paperwork. Students might also need to consult with the appropriate faculty.

Special Students must contact Lianne Mendonca (Lianne_Mendonca@brown.edu) at the Office of Continuing Education to schedule an appointment with a Program Director for Wednesday, January 20; Thursday, January 21; or Tuesday, January 26, 2010 between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.

After your meeting in Office of Continuing Education, you must obtain the signature of the instructor on the form we give you. All classes, whether taken for credit or audit, require signed permission from the instructor. Please keep in mind that registration in some courses is limited because of space. Special Students register after matriculating students, and all Special Students must obtain the instructor’s permission no later than the first day of class in order to finalize their registration. The Brown University Online Course Catalog (BANNER) will indicate which courses have limited enrollment.

Once you have the signature of the instructor, please go to the Registrar’s Office to submit your course choice(s). The Registrar's Office will be open from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm and 1:30 – 5:00 pm.

Please note that the Registrar’s Office is located in the J. Walter Wilson Student Services building, 69 Brown Street (on the corner of Brown and Waterman Streets).

Housing is not available during the Fall and Spring semesters, but is available on a first-come, first-served basis during the Summer term.

Study at the University is governed by the academic and social policies stipulated in the Brown University Academic Code and Non-Academic Conduct policy. Special students do not have access to meal contracts, Health Services, nor other services provided specifically for undergraduate students (tutoring, academic resource office, Writing Center, etc…).
