Welcome to Miami University's Department of Classics!



Classics Force-Add Policy
Waiting lists will be maintained for certain CLS courses at the discretion of individual instructors. If a faculty member chooses to establish a waiting list, it will be posted on his/her office door a the beginning of the course registration period. Students should add their names manually to that list if they are interested in being force-added. All Classics faculty offices are on the first floor in Irvin Hall; if you cannot find the office you need, please ask at the main department office in Irvin 105.
Once classes have begun, students will be admitted from the waiting list in accordance with the following priorities: Classics majors, Classics minors, seniors who need the course to graduate, and students who have declared the Classics Thematic Sequence.
Students
must attend the first day of class to be force-added to the course. Attending the first day is not an absolute guarantee of getting added, but it is guaranteed that students will not be force-added from the list if they do not attend the first day.
The final decision on all force-adds is made by the instructor of the course.
