Advising
|
|
The Department's Undergraduate Advisor is Prof. Ted
Trost, who schedules advising sessions with all majors
prior to each registration period in the Fall and Spring semesters.
He also sends out a letter during this time to ensure students
are aware of new course developments within the Department.
(Past letters are available on the Advising page). Prof. Trost
is also available to all majors and minors, throughout the
semester, to schedule a meeting to check on their degree requirements
or to assist them to prepare for their graduation.
Please consult the Advising
page for further information.

Student Privacy
|
|
Since 1974, US federal law (known as FERPA)
has precluded teachers from discussing a student's performance
in class and academic record with anyone but the student him
or herself (this right takes effect at the age of 18 or when
attending school after high school). Some incoming students
at the University of Alabama agree to waive this right to
privacy so that parents or guardians have access to their
academic record (such as viewing their midterm and final grades).
Until a Professor has confirmed that the student has indeed
waived this right, they will not discuss a student's performance
with anyone but the student.

Thinking about becoming an REL major? Perhaps a double major?
Then read an article
on the academic study of religion written by one of our recent
graduates who also majored in journalism. or see what another
recent graduate thinks about popular misconceptions
of the field.
