Re: Finance 301
From: Steve B. Wyatt, Professor and Chair, Department of Finance
As of today, all of the existing sections of Finance 301 are full, and only graduating seniors have been added to any existing sections of finance 301. In a few weeks we will be opening up enough seats in other sections of finance 301 to accommodate nearly everyone who needs a seat in finance 301 along with the seats that I have held back in existing sections of Finance 301.
We will keep a list of students who have applied for a section of Finance 301, and you will be put on a list for one of the existing sections of Finance 301 or one of the new sections of Finance 301. As soon as soon as we know how many of these classes we can actually staff, we will open these classes up to enrollment. We cannot open these classes yet for enrollment as we may not have staffing for all of them. We are in the process of finalizing staffing, and will have this in place in time for Fall classes.

I guarantee the following:
1. All seniors (non-finance majors) will have a seat in the fall of 2011 in a section of Finance 301 that fits their schedule.
2. All Finance Majors will have a seat in a section of 301 in the fall of 2011 that fits their schedule so you will remain on track to graduate on time in finance.
3. Many other junior in other majors will be offered seats in finance 301 as well if they have all the prerequisites for finance 301.
4. We will have enough seats in the spring semester of 2012 for all juniors who are not finance majors who do not get into finance 301 in the fall of 2011.
BLS465 Capstone
This course is designed to be discussion and writing intensive. Students are in a group dynamic the entire semester. This is the reason for the low enrollment limits (20 per section), therefore force adds are minimal. Some other departments may have room, as well, in their capstones.
If you still need a capstone, please see Marti Kyger (Director of the Business School Advising, 1022E FSB) about the situation.

FIN463
FIN463 is cross-listed with MGT463. The Management Department is teaching the class, therefore they are handling the force adds for FIN463. Check with their department regarding a force add.

Faculty are not allowed to determine if a student should be added to a class. Students must go through the force-add process.
If you are seeking a FSB Capstone class for only a capstone requirement, ANY capstone in the FSB will meet your graduation requirements. The Finance Department cannot accommodate all students wanting a FIN/BLS capstone course. These courses generally fill up during regular registration. Finance Majors do not need a FIN FSB Capstone.
Students seeking FIN 401 to only complete an undeclared Finance Minor (beyond a declared FIN-3 thematic sequence) will not be approved.
On January 18, 2006 the Finance Department voted to delete the FIN2 and FIN3 thematic sequences. Any student currently enrolled in a sequence will be able to complete it.
The department also voted to limit access to the Risk Management and Insurance Minor and the Finance Minor to non-business majors only. If a student has two majors, one in and one out of the School of Business, the minor is not available to them. Any student already registered for a Minor will be able to complete it.
These two measures will be implemented immediately.
Note: Finance curriculum change
All new students admitted to Miami beginning 200510 (Fall 2004-2005) or after are subject to new elective restrictions. Your DAR will reflect this change as courses that you are not able to use for a Finance elective.
