Courses
Course Information
The Office of the Registrar has resources designed to assist faculty with class enrollment, course proposals, course offerings and other essential course-related tasks.
Classroom assignments are made based on a number of factors including course enrollment (actual and projected based on historical trends), physical attributes of spaces in relation to instructional requests and availability based on total number of offerings in a given time slot.
On the rare occasion when consulting with the instructor does not resolve the concern, students may appeal to the chair of the department.
The University Bulletin of Brown University serves as the historical reference document for the general curriculum, academic requirements, and other pertinent information for a specific academic year for Brown University and is published as of a specific date and updated regularly throughout the academic year for course information.
FERPA for Faculty and Staff
The University's FERPA Policy provides information relating to the rights of students under FERPA and the University’s policies and procedures when complying with FERPA.
