CROSS-LISTING: FAQ

Q; If I want to count a course toward the Religious Studies major or minor, do I have to be enrolled in the "RELGST" section of the course?
A: NO!

Q: So it will count toward Religious Studies if I take History of the Holocaust as HIST 1769 or JS 1215?
A: YES!

Q; What if I take History of the Holocaust as RELGST 1252? Can I count it toward the History major too?
A: YES (subject to the limit on overlaps).
Remember: Cross-listing means that a course counts as a course offered by all the departments and programs that sign-on as sponsors. It does not matter what section of the course you are enrolled in--it's the same course and fulfills the same requirements.

Q: So if I take RELGST 1252, it will also fulfill my History gen-ed requirement? I don't have to take it as HIST 1252?
A: THAT'S RIGHT. ALL SECTIONS OF A CROSS-LISTED COURSE FULLFILL THE SAME REQUIREMENTS

Q; Do all seats for a cross-listed course show up in Peoplesoft?
A: YES AND NO. Peoplesoft can play tricks on you because of cross-listing. If you were to search for RELGST 1145 Greco-Roman Religions right now, you might see it as closed. But look more closely at the total seats. The RELGST 1145 section of this course is closed, but there are still seats in the CLASS 1402 section of this course.
Make sure you look carefully anytime you encounter a closed course to make sure that all seats in all cross-listed sections are gone. Otherwise, you might miss an opportunity to take something you wanted.

Q: So I can register for Greco-Roman Religions as CLASS 1402 and it would count for the Religious Studies major?
A: YES. READ THE ABOVE AGAIN.

November 15: An Introduction to Bon

An Introduction to Bon,
the indigenous spiritual tradition of Tibet
Tempa Dukte Lama

Thursday Nov 15, 7 pm
Carnegie Mellon University, Wright Room, University Center
Bon is the indigenous spiritual tradition of Tibet. The roots of this ancient tradition reach back into the time long before Buddhism came to Tibet. Tempa Dukte Lama will give a brief introduction to the Bon tradition of Tibet and then talk about the threefold path of liberation according to the Bon tradition and how we can use it as a skilful means to overcome the obscurations that afflict the individual:
1. The path of renunciation,
2. The path of transformation and
3. The path of self-liberation.

We will begin with 15 minutes of silent meditation. After the talk there will be the opportunity to ask and discuss questions.


Tempa Dukte Lama is a teacher of the Tibetan Bon Buddhist tradition who trained as a monk at Menri monastery in Dolanji, India from the age of 6 under the guidance of His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, the spiritual head of the Bon tradition. Later he lived and taught for five years at the Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He has taught on a variety of topics, including ‘Being with Dying’ and healing and has also offered meditation teachings and counsel to inmates in Santa Fe county jail.

Nationality Rooms Scholarships for Study Abroad

The Nationality Rooms and Intercultural Exchange Programs

The Nationality Rooms have awarded scholarships for summer study abroad annually since 1948. The purpose of the awards is to enable University of Pittsburgh students to have an in-depth immersion in another culture for at least five weeks. It is important that applicants choose a program that will maximize their contact with the populace abroad and be accepted by the University for credit. It is through the farsightedness and generosity of the Nationality Rooms committees and their friends, who have raised more than $1,500,000 to provide these important intercultural exchange opportunities. It is strongly suggested that students begin the application process in November to allow sufficient time to request references, prepare essays and, if applicable, prepare research proposals.

PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS BEGIN: Monday, November 26, 2007
LAST DAY TO PICK UP APPLICATIONS: Friday, January 18, 2008

Graduation Application for Spring

If you are graduating in April 2008, get your graduation application in now.

The deadline is still November 16, but the Student Records Office in Thackeray Hall (A&S Undergraduate Dean's office) encourages you to get them in before then.

This is from Susan Crain, Director of Student Records, to advisors:
"FYI. We did not change the November 16, 2007 deadline to apply for April 2008 graduation. We are informing students when they pick up the application to return as soon as possible. If they picked them up last week, we asked students to return by today. The Deadline did not change. It is to their benefit to apply before the November 16 deadline. If the student has a graduation problem, they will find out sooner. Normally, we have 800 students applying on the last two days. We are trying to avoid that chaos."

You do not need to inform me or get me to sign the graduation application--as part of the process, I will be contacted later by the Dean's office to certify your major or clarify issues with your minor.
