PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT POLICIES REGARDING REGISTRATION FOR GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES

For 2008-09, the Assistant Undergraduate Director is Professor Karen Stohr. Contact her at kes39@georgetown.edu or (202) 687-1978.

General rules
1) All students must take one course in ethics and one course in general philosophy (non-ethics). SFS students who have taken PHIL 099 may choose a second course in either area.
2) The first course in philosophy will ordinarily be PHIL 010 or PHIL 020, and the second course will ordinarily be a bridge course (PHIL 100-199).
3) Seniors are not permitted to enroll in PHIL 010 or PHIL 020, except in unusual circumstances. Seniors who have not yet taken any philosophy courses should enroll in a bridge course for their first and second philosophy courses.
4) Courses at the 200 level or above have a prerequisite of two philosophy courses.

Add/drop policies
1) The assistant undergraduate director is responsible for providing department approval on all add forms for general education philosophy courses.
2) For closed courses, the department will rely on the registrar’s waitlist system whenever possible.
3) Students will be given permission to add into closed courses only in unusual circumstances such as intractable schedule conflicts. Any student with such a conflict must get verification of it from his or her dean (or for NHS students, Academic Affairs advisor) before the assistant undergraduate director will review the request.
