LSITs are intensive courses that begin around mid-term and end at the same time as the regular fall or spring semester. These are core curriculum courses offered through the College of Arts & Sciences. They are much faster-paced than courses offered in the traditional fall and spring semesters, with a feel much like that of courses offered in Summer School. The modality for LSITs is online asynchronous.
To be successful in a LSIT, you must be highly disciplined, organized, focused, and able to manage for 7 weeks a course that compresses 14 weeks of learning into a short amount of time—while at the same time, effectively managing your traditional 14-week courses. These are not bailout courses.
Students can register for LSITs (1) during the early registration period and (2) after the last day to register through BearWeb up until the Friday before the LSIT begins on Monday. Students enrolling late are required to meet first with their academic advisor, who will guide you through the next steps to be taken.
LSITs can be a great way for students involved heavily in extracurricular activities during the beginning of the semester and can therefore benefit from starting a course late. LSITs can also be helpful in balancing your schedule in case you have to drop a course. Or, if you get into your regular schedule for the semester and want something more challenging, these could be a good choice.
