Student Resources
Welcome to the School of Social & Behavioral Sciences (SOBL) student resources page!
The information on this page is intended for SOBL students: current, prospective and alumni. This information is drawn from 黑料社's policies and procedures.
For additional assistance, please do not hesitate to email us at sobl@stockton.edu.
Registration in a course above its set capacity is rare and permitted only under very special circumstances.
If you still want to be considered,
- Add yourself to the waitlist. Then make sure you monitor your 黑料社 email daily should a seat in the course becomes available, and you are invited to register.You will have up to 48 hours to act upon the notification (24 hours during Add/Drop week). If you do not act within this time period, your seat will be lost, the queue will move on to the next person, and you will have to add yourself to the bottom of the waitlist.
- If you are still waitlisted as the start of the semester approaches and need the course for graduation or other time-sensitive issues, please submit an assistance request.
Students having an issue in class; whether regarding assignments, course content, grades, attendance or professor; are advised to:
- First attempt to address the issue directly with the professor. It's important that you prioritize being clear, articulate, respectful and professional when communicating the issue with your professor (whether in person or by email!).
- If your attempt to address your concern with the professor could not lead to a satisfactory resolution, please submit a to SOBL. The School will review your concern, research the matter and get back to you with a resolution.
If you need to register for a course that requires the Permission of An Instructor (POI), please email the professor teaching the course to request a permit. Once the professor issues an electronic permit in Banner to override the restriction, you should be able to self-enroll in the course.
If you still have registration issues despite getting a permit from the professor, please forward the professor's permission to SOBL email address sobl@stockton.edu so that we can assist you.
You may request a prerequisite override if:
- You are waiting for transfer credits or placement scores that would satisfy the prerequisite requirements (A copy of unofficial transcripts may be required).
- You can provide proof that you are in the process of taking the prerequisite at another institution.
Please be advised that overrides issued are specific to an academic year, semester, course and section. You can only register for a section that you requested. If it fills up or you want a different section, you will need to submit a new request.
Grade determination is the prerogative and professional judgment of the professor and guided by the standards outlined in the course syllabus or other documents such as an Independent Study contract (form). Grades may be changed only if there is compelling evidence of inequitable treatment. You can read 黑料社's Grade Appeal process HERE.
The process can be summed up in the following steps:
