Practical information
Enrolling on the minor

1. Organizational details
The minor courses take place during the day on Tuesday mornings, on Wednesdays and Thursdays all day and on Friday mornings. 

Academic in charge: Management committee
Contact person : M. Gilot (ECON) gilot@econ.ucl.ac.be

Enrollment details:
1st level

2. Admission to the minor
Not applicable

3. Enrolling on the minor
As soon as s/he has enrolled on BAC12, the student enrolls on the elective on the website:
http://www.uclouvain.be/optionbac

In BAC13, the student is automatically enrolled on the minor on which s/he was enrolled in BAC12.

4. Follow-up to the minor enrollment
The enrollment application can be followed up using the BAC12 enrollment application available on the web.

5. Changes to the minor enrollment 
Any student who wishes to change his/her choice must consult his/her conseiller aux études (course adviser) from his/her own faculty. 


Course times

1. Consulting the course times 
http://www.uclouvain.be/espo-mineures.html

2. Resolving timetable clashes
When s/he starts BAC12, the student sets out his/her own timetable for BAC12 and BAC13, taking into account the times of minor classes.

If a timetable clash arises, there are several solutions:

Postpone the classes :
Should a timetable clash arise in BAC12 (major course/ and elective course), the student may ask to postpone one of the two course until the following year, taking account of the sequences of the courses (requirement). The course to be postponed may be the major course or elective course. 
Students are not obliged to follow the 15 elective credits every year. Each year of study should ideally include 60 credits. The student must set out his/her program evenly over the two years in order to be in the best position to obtain, for the BAC13, 30 elective credits and 150 major credits. 
The student must obtain the consent of the conseiller aux études (course adviser) to postpone course until the next year.The course adviser will also look at how evenly the program is spread out over the two years.

Bringing courses forward :
Should there be a timetable clash in BAC13 (major course/ and elective course), the student may bring forward one of the two courses. The course to be brought forward may be the major course or elective.
Students are not obliged to take the 15 elective credits each year. Each year of study should include 60 credits. The student must spread his/her program out evenly over two years of study in order to obtain, for the BAC13, 30 elective credits and 150 major credits.
The student must ask the conseiller aux études (course adviser) for permission to bring a course from the next year forward. The course adviser will also check that courses are spread out evenly over the two years.

Accept the clash :
In some cases, the student may benefit from pedagogical alternatives when there is a clash of course and thus not have to attend the class in question.
If the student cannot attend the class, s/he must obtain the prior consent of the teacher.
Information on alternative pedagogical arrangements, if such arrangements exist, is available in every detailed course description  (above).

Finding an equivalent course that does not lead to a timetable clash:
Useful information is available in every detailed course description (above). The student must obtain the prior consent of the conseiller aux études (course adviser) for the choice of equivalent course.
