Course Description Request

   

Course description requests are processed by the Office of the Registrar for courses taken on the Bloomington campus or on any regional campus prior to the fall semester of 1968. Any work completed on a regional campus during or after that semester must be processed by the specific campus' Office of the Registrar. Occasionally, the description on file in the Registrar's Office is not adequate or cannot be found. In these cases, the request is forwarded by the Office of the Registrar to the responsible school or department.

Requests for course descriptions can be made in person, by mail, e-mail, phone, or FAX. Processing course descriptions is performed on first-come-first-served basis. Every attempt is made to process and mail the request within two weeks.

Note: A request cannot be processed if the student is encumbered by the Bursar, Greek Housing, or the Student Loan Administration (SLA). The student should contact the appropriate office to resolve the encumbrance.

This form (you will need Adobe® Acrobat Reader® to print it) can be used to make your course description request.

The following information is required for processing a course description request:

  1. Your full name;
  2. Your student ID number;
  3. Your daytime phone number (in case the requester must be contacted);
  4. Address to which the course description(s) should be sent;
  5. Title of course(s);
  6. Department code(s) and course number(s);
  7. Semester and year the course(s) was/were taken.
Effective Fall Semester 2004 we will no longer offer FAX as a delivery option for Course Descriptions.

FedEx Delivery Option

Generally, the descriptions are delivered by US mail at no charge to the student. At the student's request, the descriptions can be delivered by FedEx if desired.

When using the FedEx option, the following information must be included with the request:

  1. Your student identification number;
  2. Your printed name along with any former names;
  3. Your approximate dates of attendance, degrees received, and date of birth;
  4. Your signature and mailing address;
  5. Recipient's name and mailing address;
  6. Your current Mastercard or Visa number and expiration date;
  7. Your daytime telephone number.
