The course is split over the two semesters of the Freshman Year as E101 (Fall) and E102 (Spring) with a total of one credit awarded for completion of a minimum of TWELVE experiences over the two semesters.  However, you need to complete a minimum of SIX events by the end of the Fall semester. We encourage you to take advantage of what is offered to do more than the minimum. This course is graded PASS/FAIL. A minimum of SIX events (including the compulsory events) are needed for successful completion of E101. Although E101 in the Fall is zero credit it will be on the transcript and the grade of PASS or Fail is applied depending if the requirements have been met.  At the end of the Spring semester for E102 you will also receive a grade of PASS or FAIL for one credit and this will be based on having completed a minimum of 12 events over the two semesters, including all the compulsory events. For Transfer Students who start in the Spring at Stevens the tracking of events and credit needs to be arranged with the course coordinator.

The course is offered in a flexible mode such that each student can register for those experiences that interest him/her by selecting from a list offered during the semester.  It should be noted however that a limited number of events are compulsory. 

The link to register for experiences (events) is at the top right of this page (select Student from the "drop down" menu and login with your MyStevensPipeline login). Some compulsory events that are given only once (that means on both a Tuesday and Friday but not multiple weeks) typically will have you pre-registered for both the Tuesday and Friday. Only attend one, preferably the day that you are scheduled for the course to prevent overload in the auditorium.

Please note the Library Orientation is a compulsory event but is offered multiple times over both semesters so you can choose to take one as it suits you - but do not leave it too late as there may not be an open slot! There will be no make-up sessions offered, so please attend the session for which you have registered.

Two of the compulsory events, Globalization and International Experiences are offered only in one week in the Fall, the Ethics event is offered only in one week during the Spring so do not miss these.

You are pre-registered in the E101-102 database for all compulsory events except for the Library Orientation for which you register online just like you do for non-compulsory events using the registration site that is linked from this webpage.  

Each experience is listed with a date, time, duration and location.  Not all experiences are offered in the scheduled day/time slot for E101 ? 102 as there may be logistical reasons to run them at other times, such as for an off-campus trip or because the experience requires more than an hour.  

It is important that you SIGN THE ATTENDANCE LIST at each event in order to get credit. Credit cannot be given retroactively. Attendance will be taken at each event.  The signed attendance sheet is the only evidence that will be used to give credit for an event.
 
The registration process allows a student to express interest in an experience for which they are unable to register because it has reached the cap.  In this way a repeat may be arranged if there is sufficient interest.  The repeat may be offered either in the same semester for the Fall or in the second semester.   Therefore students should check the offerings on a regular basis as they may be revised to reflect interest.

STUDENTS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO SPREAD THEIR EXPERIENCES AND NOT POSTPONE REGISTERING UNTIL LATER IN THE SEMESTER AS THEY MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE REQUIREMENTS AT THAT TIME
