1 NRES STUDENT Advising Notes FALL 2018 NOTE: Digital copies of all advising forms can be found here: ADVISING PERIOD: The official advising period for fall is March 5 April 6. Priority registration: March 27 th (honors), March 28 th (Sr.), March 30 th (Jr.), April 3 rd (Soph.), April 9 th (Fresh), April 12 th (non-degree) PLAN OF STUDY: Complete a Plan of Study (found in APPENDIX I and on the NRES website) and bring it with you to your advising appointment. Both you and your advisor will keep a copy for future meetings. This form, as well as UKYGPS, will help answer the often-asked question of How much longer do I have until I graduate? PREREQUISITES: MATH - Students are required to take MA123. The students who are not "calc ready" are placed into MA109. Students must get a C or better in order to move on to MA123. New students should take the ALEKS placement test to determine which course they are eligible to take ( CHEM Students are required to take CHE105/111. There is the option of taking CHE109/110/111 which covers the same material as CHE105 but over two semesters. If your students wishes to go this route be sure to plan accordingly as it will be one extra class in their schedule. NOTE: if you student does not do well on the first CHEM105 exam CHE will recommend they retroactively switch to CHE 109. If you have a student taking CHE105 check if this has happened. ECON Students are required to pass ECO 201 with a C or better in order to take AEC 326 and AEC 445G BIO Students are required to take BIO148 and BIO152. Students must get a C or better in BIO 148 to move on to BIO 152 ASD AND ESEA IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER: Students select one area within Analytical Skill Development (ASD) and Environmental Systems Emphasis Area (ESEA) and take 9 hours of coursework in each for a total of 18 hours. Remember that students must use actual courses (not research experiences, internships, or other individualized experiences) to fulfill ASD and ESEA, as originally intended. A list of ASD and ESEA courses offered FALL 2018 is shown the table below and APPENDIX II, respectively RULES FOR COURSE SUBSTITUTIONS: Substitutions for MAJOR Requirements Complete a course substitution form. The form should be signed by both of you then brought or ed to the DUS (Dave McNear; dave.mcnear@uky.edu; N122S Ag Sci. North Bldg.). Once approved, the form is then sent/brought to Jami Dunn (N24C Ag Sci. Center) who assigns the substitution in APEX/UKGPS. This can be done electronically via . 1

2 Substitutions for ASD and ESEA courses ONE COURSE: Students can substitute one course not on the list per ASD and ESEA by filling out the course substitution form (APPENDIX III). Substitutions are subject to approval by you as their advisor and the DUS (Dave McNear; TWO OR MORE COURSES: substitution of two or more courses for an ASD or ESEA is considered an individualized option. In this case, the student completes the NEW individualized ASD/ESEA request form (APPENDIX IV). The form includes justification/rational for the individualized option which then gets reviewed by the NRES Steering committee. The courses need to be interrelated and a rationale provided beyond the simple this is what is available now and will allow me to graduate. The only exception to this rule is for BCTC students who completed the Environmental Science Technology (EST) program. EST courses that already have approval as NRES ASD/ESEA courses will not count them towards a student s one allowed substituted course. EST students can use all of their EST courses and no Individualized Concentrations will need to be created for these students. Updated information will be available on the website as soon as the information is confirmed by BCTC. SPECIFIC COURSE NOTES: NRE 201: ALL STUDENTS who have NOT taken NRE201 yet should be registering for it this fall If students wishing to take NRE 320 in Summer 2019, they MUST take NRE 201 FALL 2018 NRE SUMMER CAMP: 1. Students should be enrolling in NRE320 (Summer Camp) in Summer 2018 if: b. They have taken NRE 201 (a prerequisite), c. Have completed their sophomore year (in credits) d. If they plan to take NRE471 in Spring 2019 (camp is a prerequisite for NRE471). - There are NO acceptable excuses for not taking NRE320 prior to NRE 471. If you have a student who wants to graduate in December 2019 please make sure they take NRE 320 in Summer 2018 (otherwise it will come after NRE 471 which is not acceptable). - If is student insists on taking NRE320 out of sequence, they MUST complete the NRE320 Noncompliance form (APPENDIX V) and have it signed by the adviser and DUS. 2. COSTS In-state out-of-state a. Robinson Forest In-State $2,220 $4,233 b. Costa Rica in-state $6,132 $6,803 - Students interested in Robinson Forest should register for NRE The waitlist is open on this course. Have the students add themselves to the waitlist if the course is full. - Students accepted to go to Costa Rica should register for NRE They should have already applied through education abroad and been accepted by the last week of March. - A limited # of NRES scholarships will be available for both camps. When available, information for these scholarships will be ed to students and advisors in mid to late March. 2

INTERNSHIPS (NRE 399) AND RESEARCH (NRE 395) EXPERIENCES: THE GCCR COURSE If you are doing an internship (NRE 399) or research experience (NRE 395), then you need to complete the Learning Contract or Research Contract. The Contracts MUST be complete BEFORE THE START OF THE EXPERIENCE. Follow these simple steps to complete the learning contracts Visit this website for the contract: Complete the contract with your faculty advisor. Note: completed contracts must include student and faculty sponsor signatures (this can be done electronically) The student then delivers a completed copy to BOTH: Jack Schieffer (405 C.E. Barnhart Bldg.) and Geri Philpott (N212 Ag North) after which Dr. Schieffer or Geri Philpott will register the student (students cannot register themselves for these courses). New NRE 399 syllabus and NRE 399 contract. The NRE 395 syllabus and contract will be updated and on the website soon. SPECIAL NOTE: Students who are carrying out their research (NRE395) or internship (NRE399) over the summer who do NOT intend on graduating at the end of the summer will enroll in 1 credit of NRE399/395 in the summer and 2 credits of NRE399/395 in the Fall. If they intend on graduating the same semester as their internship then they will enroll for 3 credits in that semester. If a student is carrying out additional internship or research experiences for which they don t need GCCR credit then they will enroll for the credits in the same semester they are performing the work. Note that a maximum of 6 credits of NRE395/399 may be taken. RESEARCH AND LEARNING CONTRACTS CAN BE FOUND AT: 4

5 CONFLICTS Please note, there are several Fall courses with time conflicts (See APPENDIX VI or online schedule of classes). If you have a TRANSFER student, RECENT MAJOR CHANGE, or RISING JUNIOR then you need to have the student plan their last two years NOW. Most of these course conflicts occur on Tuesdays/Thursdays and occur when students want to complete their ASDs and ESEAs along with major requirements. Too often students realize that due to course conflicts they cannot complete the ASD or EASA that they want. Many realize too late that most Field and Lab ASD courses are only taught in the Fall and then cannot complete the ASD. Examples: 1. FOR 460 and FOR 325 are offered at the same time 2. EES 285, PLS 366, and AEC 326 are all offered at the same time Optional courses, FOR 370 Wildlife and ENT 300 Entomology are also offered at this time 3. FOR 340 s Tuesday lab is offered at the same time as several optional courses (FOR 219 Dendrology, FOR 370 Wildlife lab, FOR 502/ENT 502 lab, ENT 300 lab). NEW WILDLIFE MINOR See APPENDIX VII for information on the new Wildlife minor. Please have all students who want to pursue the wildlife minor DECLARE THE MINOR as soon as possible at N-24C Ag North. Declaring the minor will help the FOR department plan for the student need for courses. FOR 520 Mammals of the Eastern US is being offered for the first time this Fall. See APPENDIX IX for scheduling information. 5

13 Information for Proposing an Individualized Concentration Area When an NRES student has educational goals that do not align with one of the current Analytical Skill Development Areas (ASDA) or one of the Environmental Systems Emphasis Areas (ESEA) they may seek approval to create an Individualized Concentration Area. An Individualized Concentration Area may be created in either the Analytical Skill Development Area or the Environmental Systems Emphasis Area. It must be comprised of at least 9 credit hours. These credit hours can be taken at another university but must be transferrable to the University of Kentucky. The student is responsible for having transcripts sent to UK and ensuring they have been received. Courses should be at a 200+ level, keeping in mind that 45 credit hours of 300+ level courses are needed for graduation. Most students have three courses at 3 credit hours each (9 credit hours total), however some students have four courses equaling 9 (or more) credit hours. This request must be submitted: 1. To the student s faculty advisor for first review. 2. To the NRES Steering Committee (by the faculty advisor) for final approval by the suggested deadlines indicated below. This request must include: 1. The Individualized Area form completely filled out. 2. The Individualized Area form signed by the student s faculty advisor. 3. A copy of the student s Plan of Study which includes the proposed course work. 4. A copy of all of the course descriptions (or syllabi) that the student is using for the Individualized Concentration Area.

This is necessary to ensure that you have time for your required internship or research experience, and because it is a prerequisite for the capstone course (NRE471) you will take in your final semester. If you are scheduled to take NRE320 and for some reason think you cannot, then you are required to seek approval by filling out the form below getting it signed by your faculty advisor and the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

19 APPENDIX VII: WILDLIFE MINOR INFORMATION WILDLIFE BIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT MINOR SCHEDULING NOTES MINOR PREREQUISITES BIO 148 Introductory Biology I (3) offered every semester MINOR REQUIREMENTS FOR 101 Introduction to Wildlife Conservation (3) FOR 101 is tentatively scheduled to be taught again in Spring 2019, TH 8:00-9:15am. This will most likely conflict with BIO 559 Ornithology. FOR 370 Wildlife Biology and Management (4) This is taught in the Fall and conflicts with PLS 366, EES 385, AEC 326, ENT 300, FOR 219, and BIO/GEO 530. FOR 435 Conservation Biology (3) This is taught in the Spring and conflicts with AEC 445G. TWO of the following three courses: FOR 510 Herpetology (4) FOR 510 is taught every Spring. FOR 520 Mammals of the Eastern United States (4) FOR 520 is tentatively scheduled to be taught Fall 2018, M-W-F 12:00-12:50 with a lab on Wednesday 2-5 pm. This conflicts with AEC 445G and PHI 336. BIO 559 Ornithology (4) BIO 559 is tentatively scheduled to be taught again in Spring This will conflict with FOR 101 Intro to Wildlife. MINOR ELECTIVES FOR 340 Forest Ecology (4) Offered Fall only. Pathway to Wildlife Minor for NRES students with THREE semesters remaining Spring 2018 Fall 2018 Spring 2019 FOR 370 (conflicts with PLS 366, EES 385, AEC 326, ENT 300, BIO/GEO 530, FOR 219) AEC 445G or FOR 435 (conflict with each other) FOR 510 (conflicts with NRE 355) FOR 520 (conflicts with AEC 445G, PHI 336) FOR AEC 445G or FOR 435 (conflict with each other) FOR 101 (conflicts with BIO 559) *For this pathway to work, the student needs to have either taken PHI 336/FOR 240, or FOR 240 needs to be offered and taken during one of these semesters. Plus the student needs to fit all their other major and concentration area courses into this schedule. *If the student has already taken FOR 101 then they can take BIO 559 in Spring 2019 and drop either FOR 510 or 520. *If the student has more than three semesters remaining then there are more options and it will be easier to meet all the requirements but should still plan ahead. All of these scheduling notes are accurate as of October The offering, times, and availability of all courses are subject to change.
