Academic Regulations | General Regulations
Academic regulations are established by the faculty. Unless otherwise indicated in the College catalogue, exceptions to these regulations require the approval of the Scholarly Standing Committee. Written petitions for exceptions should be submitted to the Registrar for the committee. It is the student's responsibility to make certain that all degree requirements are satisfied. Students may elect to complete the graduation requirements stated in any catalogue in effect during their enrollment at the College, but they may not mix provisions from various catalogues.

In order to be recommended by the faculty for the Bachelor of Science degree, students are required to complete satisfactorily a minimum of 128 credit hours of courses (including approved transfer credits for courses taken at other colleges). Students must complete the requirements of each of the three parts of the curriculum as listed in the Academic Program section of this catalogue. They must also complete the physical education requirement.
A student enrolled for at least 12 credit hours in one semester is considered a full-time student for that semester. In order to qualify for a degree, a student must spend his/her last four semesters full-time and complete satisfactorily at least 12 credit hours in the last of these semesters. For those considering study abroad, see Study Abroad.
No student may be enrolled at Harvey Mudd College for more than 10 semesters.
To graduate, a student must earn a final cumulative grade point average (GPA) of C (2.000) or better. This cumulative GPA determines rank in class at graduation. In addition, he/she must earn a cumulative GPA of 2.000 or better in all courses required by the major, an individual program of studies or a technical minor for the off-campus major.
A student who wishes to graduate at the end of a specific semester must make an application to do so. This application is due with the pre-registration materials for that final semester, but it must be submitted no later than the end of the official final semester pre-registration period as indicated on the college academic calendar. Applications that are received later than this time will be interpreted as applying to the semester following that semester.
A student is recommended by the faculty for a degree only when she/he has completed all academic obligations to the college. A diploma is awarded by the Board of Trustees only when the student has satisfied all disciplinary and financial obligations to the college. The HMC Student Handbook contains more information regarding student disciplinary obligations in the Non-Academic Graduation Requirement policy.
The final grade of a student in each course is determined by the instructor. All grades are due to the Office of the Registrar by the appropriate (regular or senior) deadline date announced in the catalogue. The deadline also applies to the grade "Incomplete" (INC) unless otherwise approved by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. (See the description of "Incomplete Grade.") In case an error has been made in determining, reporting or recording the grade in a course taken at the college, a change of grade form must be submitted to the Registrar by the instructor. If the change of grade occurs beyond the end of the following semester, the Registrar must submit the request for change to the Scholarly Standing Committee for its approval.
Protests about grades in courses taken at other Claremont Colleges are handled by the procedures of the college sponsoring the course, except in cases of alleged academic dishonesty.
For first-year students in their first semester of residence at HMC, all courses numbered below 50 are graded on the High Pass, Pass and No Credit scale. All courses numbered 50 and above are graded on the letter grade scale, except when noted.
First-year courses are those numbered below 50. Lower division courses are those numbered 50 to 99. Upper division courses are those numbered 100 and above.
Grade Descriptions. Grades indicate both performance in the work of the course and comprehension of the subject matter. They are defined as follows:
A Excellent; 4 grade points per unit of credit.
B Good; 3 grade points per unit of credit.
C Fair; 2 grade points per unit of credit.
D Barely passing; 1 grade point per unit of credit.
F Failure; no grade points.
N The grade given at the end of the first semester of a two-semester course. The final grade is assigned at the end of the second semester. A two-semester course as designated by the Curriculum Committee is defined as a year-long two-course sequence.
P Passing; satisfactory performance and mastery of course material for first-semester, first-year courses and when course grades are given on a pass/fail or pass/no credit basis.
HP High Pass; superior performance and mastery of course material; first-semester, first-year courses only.
NC No Credit; first-semester, first-year courses courses and when course grades are given on pass/no credit basis. Students must repeat first-year courses until the course is passed.
INC Incomplete; The student's work for the course has not been completed, an extension of time to complete the course has been approved by the instructor and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and a grade has not been reported.
W Withdrawn; The course was dropped after the Last Day to Drop.
Grades of A–, B+, B–, C+, C–, and D+ may also be awarded for courses graded on the letter grade system. There is no grade of A+ or D–.
During the course, a code of IP (In Progress) is listed for a course in the grade field for reporting purposes. If no grade is submitted at the end of the course, a code of NR (Not Reported) is listed until a final grade is submitted by the instructor.
Other codes which may appear on a transcript for a course include:
AP Placement Credit; unit credit awarded.
EX Passed by examination; unit credit awarded.
Computation of Grade Point Averages. Courses graded P, HP, NC or N are omitted in computing grade point averages. A grade of INC is computed with zero grade points until changed and is not included in the calculation of the semester or cumulative grade point averages. Any grade of F is included when computing the grade point average, even if the course is taken again with a passing grade. In computing grade point averages for transfer students, all HMC courses are counted regardless of when they were taken. Courses at the other Claremont Colleges are counted only if taken while enrolled as an HMC student. Grade point averages are truncated after the third decimal place.
Incomplete Grade. An Incomplete is given only with the approval of the instructor and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. An Incomplete is given only when illness or special circumstances justify the granting of the additional time for completion of the work. A student's performance in the course up to the time he/she became ill or when his/her work was otherwise disrupted is considered in granting an Incomplete. The Incomplete is removed if all work is completed by the time agreed upon by the instructor, the student and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and a final grade has been submitted by the instructor to the Registrar's Office. If the outstanding coursework is not submitted to the instructor by the agreed upon deadline, an Incomplete becomes an F or NC depending on the grading option.
Changing of Courses—Add/Drop/Withdrawal. A student may add a course until the official add date for the instructional period for that course, if adding the course will not cause an overload. Instructor permission is required to add a course starting with the first day of the instructional period (e.g., full semester or half semester). Permission to overload is obtained from the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. After the official add date deadline, a student may request a late add by submitting a petition to the Scholarly Standing Committee through the Office of the Registrar. A student may drop from any course without it being listed on his/her transcript so long as he or she remains enrolled in at least 12 credit hours and the drop occurs before the deadline determined by the academic calendar. If the course is part of the Core Program, the student must obtain the signature of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for the purpose of verifying consultation. After the official drop deadline a student may request a withdrawal from a course by submitting a petition to the Scholarly Standing Committee through the Office of the Registrar. If the committee grants the withdrawal, the transcript will show a grade of W under the course in question. If the withdrawal is denied, the student must remain in the course and the grade earned is recorded on the transcript.
Involuntary Disenrollment. Students who, after warning from their instructor, continue to engage in conduct that results in the substantial impairment of teaching or learning in a course, may be involuntarily disenrolled from the course by the Dean of Faculty. The full text of the policy on Involuntary Disenrollment from a Course appears in the HMC Student Handbook.
Completion of Required Course Work. The last due date for the submission of work required to complete a course may be set by the instructor, but may not be later than the date set by the Registrar for the final examination in the course whether or not a final is given on the date assigned.
Pass/Fail. After the first semester of the first year, a student may select one course or the equivalent of 3 units (in addition to physical education courses) each semester for which he/she will receive a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). However, none of the technical core requirements may be taken on a pass/fail basis (except by departmental approval). In addition, departments may establish regulations about which of the courses required for the major may be taken on a pass/fail basis. Not more than one course (or the equivalent of 3 units) each academic year from among any one department's course offerings may be selected on the pass/fail basis. Approval in writing must be obtained from the course instructor and the student's advisor. The selection of a pass/fail course or the change to letter grades cannot be made after the last day for dropping from a course without academic penalty. A pass/fail course is omitted in computing grade averages unless the grade is "F." The grade "Pass" is equivalent to C– or better in a course regularly graded.
Course Deficiencies. Students are required to take their approved fitness PE course during the first year. After the first year, students must attempt all deficient first-year core courses each time they are offered:
Chemistry 21, 22, 25 and 26, Computer Science 5, Humanities 1, Mathematics 11, 12, 13 and 14, and Physics 23, 24 and 28
or, if starting Fall 2010, Biology 52, Chemistry 23E, 23S, 23D, 24; Computer Science 5; HSA 10; Mathematics (25G or 25B), 35, 45; Physics 22, 23, 24; and Writing 1.
All such courses must be passed before the beginning of the junior year. All core courses must be attempted by the end of the fifth semester. If a student fails or withdraws from any of Mathematics 61, 62, 63, 64 or 64A, Physics 51 or 53, Biology 52, or Engineering 59, the student must re-attempt that course at least once each academic year until it is passed. Beginning with the fifth semester, students must attempt all deficient core courses each time they are offered during the academic year.
Grade Reports. Grades are not sent to students at the end of each semester by the Registrar. Grades are viewable on the student and faculty portals.
Per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), students at Harvey Mudd College are guaranteed certain rights in regard to the privacy of information from their education records. These rights are as follows:
The right to inspect and review the student's education records.
Students should submit a written request to the Registrar identifying the record(s) they wish to inspect. The Registrar or, at the direction of the Registrar, another appropriate College staff member will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. Applicants for admission who wish to review or to release to a third party their application documents (excepting letters of recommendation) should submit a written request to the Office of Admission identifying the records they wish to inspect (or have released to a designated third party).
The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading or an invasion of privacy. Students may ask the College to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the College official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed and specify why it is inaccurate, misleading or an invasion of privacy. If the College decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Hearings will be conducted by the appropriate College hearing body. Students also have a right to have their personal written Statement submitted and retained by the recordkeeper for as long as the objectionable record is retained. Should the objectionable record be disclosed, the recordkeeper must also disclose the student's statement. Grades are not covered by this right-to-request amendment.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is defined as a person employed by the College, one of the other Claremont Colleges, or the Claremont University Consortium in an administrative, supervisory, academic (including faculty); or support staff position (including Campus Safety and Student Health Center staff); a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor or collection agent); a person serving on the board of trustees; or a person assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
Upon request, the College discloses education records without consent to officials of another school at which a student has informed the College that she/he seeks, intends to enroll and is enrolled. Some scholarship donors will require that students authorize disclosure to them of information pertaining to the student's academic progress. Acceptance of these scholarship funds from such donors will be considered as granting consent to the College to make these disclosures.
The right to request that the College not disclose directory and non-directory information. At its discretion, Harvey Mudd College may confirm or disclose "directory information" to the general public. The College defines "directory information" in accordance with FERPA as follows:
1. Name
2. Campus mailing address
3. Major field of study
4. Dates of attendance and classification
5. Degrees and/or awards received
6. Previous academic institutions attended
7. Date of birth
8. Campus e-mail address
Students may request that their directory information not be released by signing a non-disclosure form within two weeks of the start of any semester. All written requests for non-disclosure of directory information by current students will be honored until revoked by the students in writing. The College accepts requests for non-disclosure from alumni nad honors such requests until revoked by the former student in writing. Harvey Mudd College assumes that failure on the part of any student to specifically request the withholding of directory information indicates individual approval for disclosure.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. Complaints should be directed in writing to the following address:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, S.W.
Washington, DC 20202-5920
Graduation with Distinction and High Distinction. These honors are awarded for scholarly achievement at Harvey Mudd College. Students qualify for distinction if they have obtained a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.300; and for high distinction if their cumulative grade point average is at least 3.700; or if, by vote of the faculty, they are selected to receive either award.
Graduation with Honors. The faculty, usually upon recommendation of a department, may award honors to a graduating student for outstanding achievement. A copy of a department's criteria may be obtained from the department chair.
Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of those students who have obtained a grade point average of 3.000 or better while taking 15 or more units of credit, at least 12 of which are graded by letter grades A to F. Those students on the Dean's List have a citation on their transcript for the corresponding semester.
Letters of Commendation. Letters of commendation may be used to recognize exceptional student achievement in courses. Such letters are cited on students' transcripts. First-year students with high academic achievement are given formal recognition by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Academic Standing
The record of every student is reviewed at the end of each semester and at any other time that such a review seems pertinent. The Scholarly Standing Committee examines the records of those students who are not making satisfactory progress toward a degree. Such students are subject to notification and change of academic status as outlined in the following sections. Criteria for determining "satisfactory progress" include the grade point average in courses required for the major, the overall grade point average and grades for the latest semester's work. The notification sent to the student includes the reasons for the action and the prerequisites for return to regular status.
A student's academic standing is considered by faculty members and administrators when hiring or appointing students to time-consuming jobs and to positions where they serve as role models such as proctors, orientation directors and sponsors, graders, tutors or consultants.
Warning. The status "On Warning" is applied to students whose academic deficiencies do not warrant more stringent action. Students placed "On Warning" remain in good academic standing, but are thereby notified that improved performance is expected. Ordinarily, a student whose semester GPA falls between 1.800 and 2.000 is placed "On Warning." A student with a core course deficiency is also placed "On Warning" until the deficient course is passed.
Probation. Probation is a formal change of academic status, appearing on academic records, for example, and indicating that the student must make substantial improvement or face the possibility of being declared ineligible to re-register. A student on probation is considered not in good standing. Ordinarily, a student whose semester GPA falls below 1.800 is placed on "Probation."
Ineligible To Re-Register (ITR). A student in one of the following categories may be declared ineligible to re-register at Harvey Mudd College:
- A student who is on probation and who fails to make substantial improvement in his/her academic record. (The amount of improvement expected is generally specified at the time probationary status is imposed.)
- A student who satisfactorily completes fewer than eight units during any semester. (Students receiving a grade of Incomplete may have their evaluations postponed until the Incomplete is finished.)
- A student whose cumulative grade point average is less than 2.000, or whose semester grade point average falls below 2.000 for two successive semesters.
- A junior or senior whose cumulative grade point average in the major is less than 2.000.
- A student who has not passed all first-year Core courses (see Course Deficiencies) before the beginning of the fifth semester.
- A student who has not attempted all Core courses by the end of the fifth semester. See Course Deficiences under Grading Regulations.
- A student who fails any Core course three or more times.
- A student who is deficient in a Core course and has not registered for that course as specified in the Course Deficiencies section.
Mid-Term Warnings. Mid-term warnings may be given for unsatisfactory progress in a course.
Athletic Eligibility. To meet the eligibility requirements established by the college and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), students who intend to participate in intercollegiate athletics must be enrolled in a minimum full-time program of study, maintain good academic standing and sustain satisfactory progress toward a degree. Any Harvey Mudd College student enrolled in 12 semester units (a full-time student) and not on academic probation meets these "full-time program," "good academic standing," and "satisfactory progress" requirements.
Any student who has been placed on academic probation is ineligible for participation. All students have the right to appeal to the Scholarly Standing Committee for release from probation prior to the end of the semester. While approval of such a request is rare, the decision of the Committee would be based on performance indicators (i.e. mid-term exams).
Evaluation of the Previous Education and Training of Veterans
In accordance with CFR§21.4253(d)(3), Harvey Mudd College will conduct an evaluation of the previous education and training of veterans, grant appropriate credit, shorten the veteran or eligible person's duration of degree course proportionately, and notify the Veterans Administration and student accordingly.
Standard of Progress for Veterans
In accordance with CFR§21.4253(d)(1)(I), any veteran or eligible person who remains on probation for grade point deficiency below a 2.000 cumulative GPA beyond two semesters, will have his/her veteran's benefits discontinued. Certification of benefits will also be terminated.
Advanced Placement and Credit By Examination
In general even introductory courses at HMC go significantly beyond a normal AP course. As a result, success in AP courses does not guarantee advanced placement here, although some departments offer opportunities to place out of certain courses. The rules for advanced placement are listed on each department's website.
A student in the College may also challenge some courses by examination. Since the courses that may be challenged are at the discretion of the department chair, a student must obtain the permission of the chair or his/her assignee before noon of the first day of classes of the semester in which he/she wishes to be examined. Mastery of material covered in the course must be demonstrated in order to have a requirement waived while a very high level of mastery must be demonstrated for credit to be earned. The level of these standards will be decided by the department chair. Some may choose not to award any credit but to waive a requirement allowing a student to take a more advanced course instead of the challenged one. The standards are set high because it is believed that there is more than just knowledge of content to be gained from engaged participation in a course. A student may challenge a given course only once.
Chemistry: A placement examination is available for students who feel they have a strong background in chemistry. A high standard of performance earns unit credit for Chemistry 23S and/or Chemistry 23E. A second examination is available for Chemistry 23D. The first examination is offered in the fall during the week before classes begin. The second examination is offered by prior arrangement with the chair of the department.
Mathematics: Advanced placement for courses can be earned by examination prior to enrolling in the course. These exams are arranged in consultation with a representative of the Department of Mathematics, typically prior to the start of the Fall semester.
Physics: Passing a departmental exam earns credit for Physics 24 and possibly Physics 23.
Transfer Credit for Transfer Students: Credit is given to transfer students for course work completed at other colleges that is reasonably equivalent to work offered at Harvey Mudd College. The amount of such credit is determined by the appropriate departments. Only C or better work is transferable.
Transcripts are evaluated at the time of admission so that students are informed at the time of acceptance what unit credit they have been awarded. Students will be asked to furnish course descriptions to facilitate this evaluation process. Courses underway are evaluated "subject to successful completion." Occasionally, transfer students are asked to take departmental examinations to establish credit.
When portions of the required Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts (HSA) program remain to be taken, up to half of these may be taken at other Claremont Colleges. In special cases of advanced admission to HMC where few, if any, required HSA courses remain, the student must take one HSA course per semester. These are elective courses and up to half of them may be taken at other Claremont Colleges.
Faculty Approvals. Prior to course registration and when course changes are made, students must have their course selections approved by their faculty advisors. In addition, all course selections for humanities and social science electives must be approved by the student's advisor in the Department of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts.
Overloads. In exceptional circumstances, a student with a record of successful academic performance may take more than 18 credit hours in a semester. The guidelines for overload approval are as follows:
Overloads for First-year. First-year students must request permission for overloads through a written petition to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Petition instructions and deadlines are available from the Office of Academic Affairs.
Overloads for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors.
1. For overloads of 19 1/2 units or fewer: Overload approval requires the signature(s) of your academic advisors and a petition approved by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Approval is granted provided previous semester GPA is at least 3.000 and all advisers agree.
2. Overload is 20 to 21 units: Overload approval requires the signature(s) of your academic advisors and a petition approved by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. A GPA of 3.000 in the preceding semester is required, as is evidence of the exceptional circumstances arguing for an overload. The following may constitute exceptional circumstances:
- Unique opportunity to take complementary or synergizing courses
- Unique opportunity to work with a particular faculty member (i.e. a visitor) or course (i.e. an experimental offering)
- Scheduling difficulties created by future or past semesters abroad or on exchange
- Unit credit needs for graduation within eight semesters.
Students are free to make the case for other exceptional circumstances in their petitions. The simple desire to take a course, however, does not constitute an exceptional circumstance, nor does evidence of a student's ability to "handle" additional coursework. The decision made by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs regarding overload petitions is final.
3. Overload of more than 21 units: Granted only for the justification of unit credit needed for graduation in eight semesters and only then with the recommendation of all academic advisers.
Petition forms are available from the Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Course Changes. A required course may be replaced by a course in a different area of study only with the consent in advance of the Scholarly Standing Committee and the chairs of the departments concerned.
Off-Campus Registration. Students may register for courses open to them in the other Claremont Colleges. Courses taken at the Claremont Graduate University are recorded with the units of credit indicated in its catalogue. Full courses taken at Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, Pomona and Scripps Colleges receive three units of credit, except those courses in science and mathematics for which a three-hour laboratory is indicated in the catalogue. In such cases, credit is determined by the appropriate HMC department. Unit credit for off-campus courses other than full courses is determined before registration by the Harvey Mudd College department involved.
Any course in which a student enrolls for credit, shown in the catalogue of any Claremont College, is indicated on the transcript with credit and grades recorded and is included in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average.
Directed Reading Courses. Directed reading courses are open to juniors and seniors only, and a student may take only one such course (or the equivalent of 3 units) each semester. Directed reading courses are also available during the summer by registration with the Claremont Summer Session. Such a course may not be used as a substitute for a required first-year or sophomore course.
Summer School Credit for Transfer. A student who wishes to attend a summer school outside of The Claremont Colleges and transfer credits to Harvey Mudd College must obtain permission in writing from the chair of the Harvey Mudd College department concerned prior to registering for the summer school. Upon completion of the summer session, the student should request the college to send an official transcript to the Registrar. Only C quality work or better is transferable. However, some departments set a minimum grade that must be received in summer school courses, if they are to be used for transfer credit. Approved summer school courses are placed on the student's Harvey Mudd College academic record and may be counted as fulfilling distributive requirements upon consent of the department chair. Unit credit at Harvey Mudd College for such courses is generally the same as for equivalent courses at HMC except where adjustments must be made by the Registrar to equalize credits with the semester system at Harvey Mudd College. The grade obtained in a summer school course outside of The Claremont Colleges is not counted in determining the student's cumulative grade point average.
Foreign Languages. There are no undergraduate requirements in foreign languages. Students planning to go to graduate school, however, are reminded that a reading knowledge of German, French or Russian may be required as part of a program leading to an advanced degree.
A student enrolled for at least 12 credit hours in one semester is considered a full-time student for the semester. HMC degree-seeking students are full-time students, unless special permission is obtained to be enrolled in less than 12 credit hours. A student may request to be enrolled in less than 12 credit hours by petitioning the Scholarly Standing Committee through the Office of the Registrar.
Students are expected to attend all classes and not to absent themselves without adequate reason. The regulation of class attendance is ultimately the responsibility of the faculty. Each instructor has the privilege of establishing specific regulations regarding attendance as may be appropriate for his or her particular course.
A student who plans to leave the College should arrange a voluntary withdrawal with the Dean of Students or the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Leaves of absence for stipulated periods may be granted by the Dean of Students or the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs; readmission is usually automatic upon application to the deans unless specific requirements were established for the return from the leave.
A student who has withdrawn from the College and wishes to be readmitted must apply to the Scholarly Standing Committee.
A student who withdraws or takes a leave of absence from the College before the semester course drop deadline will be noted as having withdrawn or taken a leave of absence with the previous semester's standing. No courses are listed on the transcript for the semester unless the course was completed before the leave date.
A student who withdraws or takes a leave of absence from the College after the semester course drop deadline, but by the last day of classes for that semester, receives a grade of W in all courses, which have not been already graded. The Registrar ascertains whether or not the student was in good standing.
A student who withdraws or takes a leave of absence from the College after the last day of classes for a given semester will still receive the grades earned in those courses in which he/she was enrolled at the time of leaving.
Under special circumstances, a student may apply to the Scholarly Standing Committee for admission to the program of transfer studies. The program of transfer studies provides a terminal semester during which the student is released from the usual course requirements in order to improve his/her academic standing and to prepare for transfer to another college at the end of the semester. Readmission to HMC is not normally permitted.
Class Fees • Housing Deposit/New Students • Housing Deposit/Returning Students
Refunds for Changes in Courseload to Less than Full Time
Refunds for Withdrawals During the Term • Automobiles and Motorcycles
Student Health Service • Medical Requirements • Insurance
Financial Aid • Delinquent Accounts
Fees and Refunds. All charges (tuition, room, board, fees and deposits) must be paid in cash ($U.S.), by checks drawn on American or Canadian banks, or money order (international, if appropriate). Descriptions of fees and deposits follow; arrangement for payment must be made prior to the service.
Course-Change Fee. The fee for any change in registration that is initiated by the student is $5 per Course Add/Drop form. There is no fee charged for registration changes made during pre-registration, via the portal or before the start of the semester. There is no fee charged at any time for changes in registration for Physical Education classes. First-year, transfer and foreign exchange students are not charged for changes in registration during their first two semesters.
Transcript Fee. A transcript request is submitted to the Office of the Registrar. A fee of $2 is charged for each official transcript. A transcript is issued only when obligations to the College have been paid in full or satisfactory arrangements have been made to do so. A transcript is sent out only at a student's request. There is no charge for an unofficial transcript.
Class Fees. Individual classes may have additional fees associated with them. These fees are listed in the Schedule of Classes that is issued prior to pre-registration each semester. Class fees will be posted to student accounts and will be completely refunded if the drop is made on or before the last day to add classes. Class fees are non-refundable if drop/withdrawal is made after that date.
Damage Deposit/New Students. Half ($150) of first year students' enrollment deposit ($300) is automatically converted to a housing damage deposit that is returned to students when they graduate or permanently leave the College. Each year, residence hall damage charges are deducted from the deposit and students are billed to return the deposit to $150. The other half of the enrollment deposit ($150) becomes a housing deposit that is returned to students as a credit on their first bill. The enrollment deposit is non-refundable, and therefore the damage and housing deposits are non-refundable for new students who decide not to attend HMC.
Housing Deposit/Returning Students. Early in the spring semester, every student who wishes to live on campus the following year must submit a $75 housing deposit to be eligible to participate in room draw. The housing deposit is returned as a credit on the first bill of the next year.A student who has completed the room draw procedure and then decides not to live on campus can contact Student Accounts for a refund. Also, students who will not live on campus for the fall semester may request that their deposit be held to cover spring housing or may request a refund and resubmit the deposit prior to the spring semester.
Refunds for Changes in Courseload to Less than Full Time. A student who wishes to change courseload to less than ten units must give notice by submitting a Course Add/Drop Form and a Scholarly Standing Committee Petition to the Office of the Registrar. Students whose petitions are approved within the first 30 days of the semester are refunded according to the number of units enrolled. No refunds are made after the first 30 days of the semester.
Refunds for Withdrawals During the Term. A student who wishes to withdraw from the college must give notice by completing a Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form with the Dean of Students or the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, who then notifies the Registrar and the Office of Student Accounts. No refunds are made if the student withdraws without giving notice. A student receives a refund, less a pro rata reduction of any scholarship or grant, subject to the following:
- A 100 percent refund of charges and fees is made if withdrawal occurs before the first day of classes.
- A 75 percent refund of the tuition charge is made if withdrawal occurs before the 18th day of classes.
- A 50 percent refund of the tuition charge is made if withdrawal occurs after the first 17 days of classes, but by the 30th day of class.
- No refund of the tuition charge is made after the 30th day of class.
- Refund of the board charge is on a pro-rata basis.
- No refund of the room charges or fees.
- Refunds are made by the college within 30 days of completion of the Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form by the Dean of Students or the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Questions regarding withdrawal should be directed to the Dean of Students or the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Questions regarding the college's refund policy or procedure should be directed to the Office of Student Accounts.
Note: When a student leaves HMC prior to the end of a semester, the college determines whether a refund of charges is due as well as how much federal and institutional financial aid has been earned to pay for those charges. Refer to "Return of Federal Financial Aid Funds" on page 16 of the "Understanding Your Financial Aid Award" brochure provided by the Office of Financial Aid.
Every student living on or off campus who owns or operates an automobile, motorcycle, motor scooter, moped or motorbike on the campuses of The Claremont Colleges must register the vehicle with the Campus Safety Department at the opening of each semester. Vehicles must have liability insurance and there is a parking fee of $20 per semester for students. First-year students are prohibited from bringing or parking cars on campus. Exceptions may be made by contacting the Dean of Students Office.
The Claremont Colleges maintain a health service for students while college is in session. Two physicians and a staff of nurse practitioners provide office care at the Student Health Service Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m with extended hours on Wednesdays. Charges are made for medicines, laboratory tests, special supplies and some elective treatment. Referrals for treatment by specialists in all fields can be arranged when needed. Outside consultation, hospitalization and surgery are arranged by the health service, but are not financed by the college and payment for them is a responsibility of the individual student. Health care service is available throughout the academic year with the exception of scheduled vacations. As part of its continuing wellness programs, the Health Service seeks to empower students to take responsibility for their own health and well-being.
An accident and hospital reimbursement plan is required for all students to protect against major costs if they are not covered by a family health insurance policy. This plan is designed to supplement the care provided by the health service. Premiums and coverage are described in a brochure available on the Student Health Service website.
The medical certificate required of all applicants prior to admission includes a physical examination, a tuberculin test, an X-ray of the chest within the preceding six months of those with a positive tuberculin test, and active immunization against tetanus, diphtheria, measles and rubella. Immunization against hepatitis B, meningococcal meningitis and chicken pox is also strongly recommended.
The College does not assume responsibility for loss or damage to personal property belonging to students. Adequate insurance coverage is advised for everyone.
As specified by law, Harvey Mudd College monitors its aid recipients to ensure that they are maintaining satisfactory academic progress toward completion of their degree. Students are normally expected to graduate after eight semesters of enrollment at HMC or, for students who transfer into HMC from another institution, after the pre-designated number of semesters required to complete graduation requirements. As HMC students are generally eligible for only four years (or eight semesters) of financial assistance, normal academic progress must be maintained to ensure a timely graduation. Financial aid recipients should complete an average of 32 units per year to meet the graduation requirement of 128 units in four years and to remain eligible for financial aid. However, if there are circumstances that prevent degree completion within eight semesters, a student may apply for up to two additional semesters to complete the degree with financial aid. A student who wishes to pursue such an extension should consult with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Need-based financial aid is offered to U.S. citizens and permanent residents from the federal government, some states (including California for residents), private organizations and Harvey Mudd College. HMC uses a national standard known as Institutional Methodology to determine eligibility for scholarship assistance. A limited amount of HMC need-based scholarship is also available to international students. While need for scholarship is determined annually, the maximum annual award for international students will be limited to the amount granted in the first year at HMC. An international student who does not apply for or does not receive aid as a first-year student will not be considered for financial aid in future years at HMC due to the limited and highly competitive nature of our funding.
The Office of Financial Aid is required to coordinate all funds that a student receives to ensure that each student's financial need is met and that a student does not receive more financial aid than he/she qualifies for. For this reason, HMC has established policies on how the receipt of additional funds will affect financial aid eligibility. For example, if a student receives a Federal Pell Grant, a Cal Grant, other state grant, an HMC–sponsored National Merit Scholarship or a Harvey S. Mudd Merit Award, the student's need-based HMC Scholarship award may be reduced by an equal amount. If a student receives a scholarship or grant from a private organization, financial aid eligibility will be adjusted according to a standard formula. All outside scholarship funds are added together and the following is applied: the first $500 will reduce need-based student loans and/or Federal Work-Study funds. One-half of the remaining amounts will reduce need-based HMC Scholarship and the other half will further reduce need-based student loans and/or Federal Work-Study funds. Once need-based student loans and Federal Work-Study amounts have been completely eliminated, any additional outside scholarships may reduce the need-based HMC Scholarship only. However, in an effort to maximize financial aid eligibility, students may retain need-based loan and Federal Work-Study amounts up to their federal eligibility.
In an effort to improve our awards, beginning in the fall of 2008, incoming first-year students are eligible to reduce need-based student loans and/or Federal Work-Study funds with outside scholarship funds dollar to dollar. Once need-based student loans and Federal Work-Study amounts have been completely eliminated, any additional outside scholarships will reduce need-based Harvey Mudd Scholarships only. Rising fourth-year students are not eligible under this new policy.
The financial aid process at HMC adheres to strict deadlines. Students must apply for financial aid by our published deadlines and submit all supporting documents in a timely manner. Failure to meet our published deadlines may jeopardize financial aid eligibility, as funds are awarded on a first come, first served basis. A student who receives financial aid and withdraws from HMC during the semester will have his/her financial aid adjusted according to the actual period of enrollment and the terms of the aid program.
A student who becomes delinquent on student loan payments after he/she graduates or leaves HMC may have academic transcripts withheld until payments are made current. Appeals to financial aid decisions should be addressed to the Office of Financial Aid.
Unresolved appeals may then be taken to the director of financial aid, the vice president and dean of admission and financial aid, and, finally, to the president of the College.
Every student is responsible for meeting promptly any payment due the College. Satisfactory arrangements for payment of the total charges on a student account for each semester, less financial aid, must be made prior to the beginning of each semester per the Tuition Payment Agreement.
A student account not meeting the requirements set forth in the Tuition Payment Agreement is considered delinquent. A student whose account is delinquent is subject to a late fee charge of one percent (1%) of the delinquent amount. A student with a delinquent account may be assessed a late-registration penalty and may also be disenrolled, resulting in prohibition from class attendance, revocation of dining hall privileges and/or ineligibility to pre-register for the subsequent semester. Any student leaving HMC with an unpaid financial obligation will not be issued an official transcript of grades until settlement is made.

2. | Narcissist | ||
a guy who can get a boner by looking at himself in the mirror. soooo i found out last night i am a narcissist...
1. | Narcissist | ||
1.Excessive love or admiration of oneself.
2.A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem. 3.Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one's own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development. a."That Bec Factor sends everyone photos of herself, ahh did someone say narcissist?"
b. Paris Hilton |
3. | narcissist | ||
A narcissist is someone who suffers from a narcessistic personality dissorder. A narcissist is always right and has the urge to make you feel less than him/her.
Medical Definition of Narcissism: Narcissism is the pattern of traits and behaviors which involve infatuation and obsession with one's self to the exclusion of others and the egotistic and ruthless pursuit of one's gratification, dominance and ambition. In everyday use outside the field of psychology, the word generally refers to people who just are inordinately fond of themselves, without the pathological connotations. Unlike the general idea that narcissism is bad. It's actualy rather good. You never pay any attention to what others say about you nor care about it. You think yourself to be better looking and smarter than others, wich is handy in alot of situations.
Narcissist's are realy common and you can find them in every corner of the world. You probely one of them yourself. |
4. | narcissist | ||
Someone with their head so far up their ass they eat their own shit and think it's good and everyone else should think so too. For examples of a narcissist see Stephenie Meyer, Steve Jobs
5. | Narcissist | ||
Someone who think that they are superior to everyone else or/and thinks only of themself...(conceited) Narcissus loved himself and nobody else, therefore he was a Narcissist....
6. | narcissist | ||
Taken from the ancient Greek character who fell in love with his own reflection.
Somebody who is completely in love with himself/herself and most likely is intensely turned on by their relection. Somebody who is too vain and self-absorbed to notice other people. I would not be the least bit surprised if Narcissus were from the United States; self-aborbed, self-important, jingoistic, bewildered at the thought that there are others in the world besides us... the U.S. seems to be the perfect breeding ground for narcissists.
Ann Coulter (to the mirror): Hello, beautiful. I'm so lucky to have you-! (kisses herself) Bill O'Reilly (as he beats off at his reflection): God-! Gotta-have-that-! |
7. | narcissist | ||
commonly self absorbed, insecure, needy, self centered, selfish lover...who when cannot brag outright (which rarely happens)... is sure to give himself a "backdoor brag" narcissist, Jihad F Saleh Williams

BIG NOOBIE Posts: 14 Joined: 27-November 11 Member No.: 1,024 Name: Ashna Class: Warrior |
- First Name:
Cait - Your Country / Time zone: USA/PST - Age: 23 - Do you have Ventrilo and working microphone? yes and yes - Are you able to handle mature (or immature) content on Ventrilo and in guild chat? Yes, as long as it's all in good fun. - Do you have the capacity to clearly communicate, yet have a knowledge of when it's appropriate to keep comments to yourself? I communicate a lot, but I do admit I'm fairly outspoken. - Are you presently employed or a student. Will it interfere with your ability to raid? Will you be able to attend 99% of our raids? Do you have any other Real Life obligations which might prevent you from attending 99% of our raids? I am a student but I'm taking the semester off, and will be getting a job in the near future. Any future plans will be scheduled around my raids as per usual. I've always felt being reliable is a key part of being a tank. - Do you have any PC or disconnect issues we should know about? No, even on rag seeds I stay connected. - Are you able to handle harsh criticism? You can, and will, be subjected to harsh criticism and you will be called out when you do not perform. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. If a problem isn't addressed how can I expect it to get better? Usually too I know when I mess up and admit to it. - Class / Character Name: Warrior, Ashna - Race: Human - Professions: JC/BS - Do your professions increase your performance in raids? Explain your choices Both of my professions help improve my performance. I gain 134 mastery from JC and BS, and I feel that this is more beneficial than the stamina gains from other professions. - Total time played (/played) and Time played at 85 Total: 304 days, At 85: 61 days -Is this your first main character? If not what did you used to play? When did you start playing WoW? Please provide detailed information about time spent on all your previous characters. Tell us as much as you can, the more the better. Ashna is my first toon created and has always been my main. I started playing WoW the summer of '06, but didn't get into raiding until after BC released. I was originally horde and during BC I created an alliance warrior, Ashalli, to play with my friends cross faction. I did alt raids with my second warrior throughout Wrath. Towards the end of Wrath I leveled a druid, pally, and dk tank, among various other classes. I really wanted to try all the tank classes, though I'm not too fond of runes so I don't play my dk much anymore. Currently I do alt raids and gdkps on my druid and pally. -Main Spec: (x/x/x) (include a link from http://www.wowhead.com if it differs from the spec you presently have on armory). If you have a relevant offspec for raiding, tell us about that as well. Prot - 8/0/33. I typically get aoe tanking jobs so I have blood and thunder & thunderstruck. I don't have two tank specs because I've had to go dps for raids, though since one of our tanks left I don't go dps as often. My offspec is 8/31/2 TG fury. -Armory Link: [paste your link here] (Be sure to log out with your raiding gear on) My armory link -What is your current guild? Vox Radix -What were the last 3 guilds you were in? What are the reasons for leaving your last and current guild? Tell us about your time in each and how active you were in each. Asylum on Shadowsong, Insanity Included on Rexxar, and most currently Vox Radix on Darkspear. I left Insanity Included because they disbanded. I'm leaving my current guild because of how toxic the raiding environment is. The raiders and officers are so incredibly negative and disrespectful to each other, and it's really detrimental to the team spirit. I thought maybe it was just because of our progression on H Rag, but even after we downed him there is still this incredibly negative atmosphere. There is also a lack of interest of PTR testing, and I'm really into pushing content. I want to know that as soon as patch hits we are going to demolish progression, and the lack of team spirit and interest has really been paralyzing our PTR testing. I have been a main raider in each of my guilds and enjoy a lot of out of raid activities, from alt runs to achievements to pvp. - What end game raiding experience do you have? (This includes in vanilla WoW, TBC and WOTLK as well as Cata. be specific.) Be thorough. The more detail the better. While I started playing in vanilla, I didn't raid and played very casually until I hit 70 in BC. I've done all BC content up to Brut pre-nerf, and through to KJ post-nerf. Wrath I got my white proto but was short of immortal for the black. Did OS 3D 10/25 at content level, and 6 min maly 10/25. About a month after Ulduar was released my guild broke up and I took a break and played in a more casual guild with some RL friends. I did do all of Ulduar and hard modes 10/25, but the 25m hard modes I did more after ToC was released, so that wasn't at progression level as much. ToC did 4/5 HM for 25, but didn't get heroic Anub until after ICC was released, so take that as you will. ToC 10s I did 5/5 HM, Insanity runs, and Dedicated Insanity. ICC got the 10 and 25m drake, so did all the hard modes there. Also Bane from 10s. I didn't get Light of Dawn till Cata was released. And I did Halion reg and HM on 10s, but only reg on 25. For Cata content I've done 6/13 HM t11 pre-FL. Currently I'm 7/7 HM FLs. I got 6/7 HM pre-nerf, and H Rag post nerf. - Any special Achievements / Titles / Mounts you have earned in PvE you would like us to know about? Champion of the Naaru, Hand of A'dal, Amani War bear, White proto (includes "of the Nightfall" and "Undying"), "Twilight Vanquisher", Rusted and Iron proto, "Starcaller", "Astral walker", Herald of the Titans, Swift Alliance steed from ToC 10H, Dedicated Insanity/"Argent Defender", Bloodbathed and Icebound frostbrood vanquisher, Bane of the Fallen King, and "Firelord". I still don't have Drake of the East wind or Corrupted Egg of Millagazor. - Link to WWS / WMO logs of recent raid(s) you have attended. My WOL link - Provide a Quick Summary of your "Valuable" Stats (Healing, Attack Power, etc.) as you understand them for your class. Mastery, gives me block chance and critical block chance, becomes slightly less useful after ctc cap, but excess mastery does still go into critical block chance after cap. Stamina, gives me more health so I can take harder boss hits, also increases the max amount my vengeance can reach. Armor, reduces percentage of damage taken, not as useful on magical fights. Parry, avoids boss attacks and procs my Hold the Line. Dodge, let's me pretend to be a bear. Parry shouldn't be more than 2-3% roughly above dodge to avoid DR (I have a chart for specific values though). - Which major and prime glyphs do you currently use? Explain your choices Prime: Shield Slam, Revenge, and Devastate - they are the only prot glyphs really. Major: Thunder Clap, Shockwave, and Cleaving - these glyphs help improve my aoe tanking, and I felt that the other glyphs weren't as raiding focused or was willing to sacrifice them for better aoe tanking. - Do you have dualspec, and is your offspec something you could viably play in raids? My offspec is fury and yes I have played fury for raids before. The equipped iLevel of my fury gear is 383 - What spec do you prefer? Are you willing to respec if an emergency arises? Are you willing to respec to the optimal spec for a progression boss? I prefer prot, and I am willing to tweak my spec as necessary for progression fights. I'm also willing to have two prot specs and drop fury if needed. - How do you feel about sitting out for any given encounter if we do not need you? It will happen. I'm ok with sitting. I've been in guilds were there was a big tanking roster and we did lots of rotating to get everyone play time/gear. I've also sat for one tank fights or where a warrior isn't the best class for the job. I understand that it's progression > me. - Are you willing to spend 400+ gold a night in repairs and consumables, stay focused and wipe for 4 hours straight, come back the next day and do it all over again until a new boss dies (even on "farm" content)? Yes, I have 80k+ gold and maxed secondary professions plus a gatherer alt to help support me while raiding. - What is your reason for applying? What makes us more appealing that any one of the thousands of other raiding guilds out there? I'd like to join a guild that is at similar progression as me, that I can seamlessly integrate with. Other than that I don't really know you guys much yet. I can tell you what I look for in guilds and what I expect from my fellow members. I look for team players, that do whatever it takes to get the job done. Open and honest communication between members and officers. Constructive criticism that is aimed at solving problems and not just cutting down individuals. Lots of out of raid activities and involvement, and late night players since I also stay up quite late. People with a good sense of humor that get progression done but also have a fun time doing it, because at the end of the day this is a game and games should be fun dammit. - Who, if anyone, will vouch for your abilities in WWA? I'm a server transfer so I don't know anyone in your guild yet. - Post a screenshot of your UI.(If you are having trouble, use the free image hosting resources of http://imageshack.us) My UI link - Last words: Show us what sets you apart from the rest of the candidates; what makes you better? What can you bring to WWA? What do you want us to know that wasnt covered? Let us know why WE want YOU. This is your last chance to impress us, be thorough. Do not answer this question with one sentence. Once again, the more complete the answer, the better. I strive to be self-sufficient and work hard to be the best raider I can be. I always come prepared for raids, whether that be consumables, food, or knowledge. I read strats and typically watch several videos to learn fights beforehand. I believe that tanks especially need to know their role before trying a new fight. I keep notes on progression fights, and also like to make spreadsheets. I go out of my way to help people as much as I can. Im also a perfectionist and set high standards for myself, and take a lot of pride in what I do. Being responsible for your actions is really important to me, and if I mess up Ill admit to it and it wont happen again. In Insanity Included my GM was an 8 on the trox-o-meter, so I consider myself fairly bulletproof now. I like making friends with other tanks, and enjoy discussing tank theory and working to improve my skills. I'm pretty much always online and up for whatever. All in all Im a dedicated, hard working player. |

Uh in short if you're not a slutty chick posting nudes, e-fucking officers and don't talk at all unless needed I am sure you'll do just fine here.
Is that what you wanted me to say diqmoor? rofl~ Nah in all seriousness, as a woman in this game you have to grow a thick skin against all this woman shit talk, once you're past that no matter which guild you're in you'll be safe. WWA can be intimidating at times but overall I as a woman still enjoy the environment. PS: Screw you zarafool -------------------- |

HTC HD2 soldiers on past Win Phone 8, runs Windows RT
The HTC HD2, a smartphone from the Windows Mobile era, has been continuously pushed by developers and the hacking community to support Windows Phone 7, 7.5 and even Windows Phone 8. But now they've managed to get the handset to run Windows RT. Yes, Windows RT.
@CotullaCode published the above photo on Twitter, which shows the HD2 running Microsoft's tablet OS. This name was also involved in the Windows Phone 8 port to the device. Unfortunately, it's not known how the team accomplished such a task, and the end result is not yet available for the public.
The HTC HD2 has proved its worth more than once, and remains a true fighter when it comes to legacy hardware running the latest software. The hacker has posted a number of images that show the desktop app and main start screen in action. It's quite an achievement for such a barrier to be smashed down.
Source: @CotullaCode, via: The Verge; thanks everyone who tipped us!

Hmm.. If this is possible then all 7x devices can run on windows 8. Atleast the mid to high end phones. What say?? ;) :)
upupandawol says:
I agree. If this can happen. Microsoft can accommodate all the fore windows phone devices.
GoodThings2Life says:
Of course they can... but they won't. We should all make that clear right now. It's never going to happen outside any hacker communities.
Z10YkakPES says:
They can, but they wont, there's no profit in old devices, just think about it...
paulheu says:
Nah, these are just hacks that show a screen, it's not even remotely close to usable as you would hav seen videos instead of just pictures. Same goes for WP8. It may run, yes, but it's far from being even remotely usable.
Seeing how WP7.8 does actually have a serious impact on the usually snappy and smooth handling of the startscreen, and that gets worse the more different size tiles you add, it is a clear case showing that these devices would not be able to handle WP8 in any usable way.

I am sure you think you are being smart, but what you failed to realize is
1) that article is sourced by a WPCentral article
2) The person that put WP8 on the HTC HD2 is the same person in this article, and
3) This article isnt about WP8, it's about W8 RT

I'm sure you think you are being smart, but what you failed to realize is that my reply is pointed towards jordanfernandes. The first comment up there.
HikiSpray says:
Yes it shouldnt be a problem to run wp8 on wp7 hardware, but because wp7 phones miss the hardware encryption ms wont support it, if I understood correct.
Ronnet says:
Unfortunatly it doesnt work. All Windows RT and Windows Phone 8 port on all WP7 and WinMo6 devices are unusable. The Windows RT ports dont get past the startscreen and the WP8 ports are very unstable and you cant call anyone. Also both ports are terribly slow.
link68759 says:
Yeah no. The HD2 is pretty much open sourced and has interest and some of the best hackers playing with it. No other device will ever get a WP8 port so stop whining about it.
Ticomfreak says:
Because it's a total flash. Think about it, if Microsoft released an update they would have to completely flash the entire OS and sooo many phones would brick. 7.8 is a good compromise.
upupandawol says:
That's frickin amazing
Ian Ibekwe says:
Speaking of updates on old phones. I have just bought a Nokia 800 and it comes with wp7.8. I can resize the tiles. Will check for more features. But this article makes me want to buy a HTC HD2 again. :)
the_Enlightened says:
ME too:)
GoodThings2Life says:
I don't expect Microsoft will do anything to bring 1st gen WP7 devices up to speed with WP8 or anything, however, it DOES make me wonder and think that maybe this is a good sign that WP8 and WRT will eventually merge together for a consistent app experience.
Really if Microsoft reconfigures some things for the lower resolutions of phones (or requires phones meet the 720p minimum) then it could very easily happen. The idea of running WRT on my phone is VERY appealing to me as a user, and it would be very appealing for developers to develop for one platform.
GoodThings2Life says:
From another article, I'd remind people of the following, as well:
Obviously, don't expect the HD2 to run Windows RT in its full glory though. The Surface RT with a quad-core Tegra 3 processor sometimes struggles to run Windows RT properly, and the HD2 only has a single core clocked at 1GHz and half the RAM.
R0bR says:
As a Surface owner I would say "struggles" to be an exaggeration. However, Windows RT is currently not optimized to take full advantage of all the cores of Tegra 3. There is lots of room for performance improvement, which is already noticeable from latest firmware updates.
paulheu says:
'Eventually merge together' ??
These share their OS core and API right now, how 'merge' do you want to get?
As long as you stay within the programming guidelines what works on will work on the other with very little additional work required, if any.
Ronnet says:
Windows 8/RT's UI has the ability to adapt to multiple screen sizes. Granted the experience isn't as polished on larger screens but I think in time Microsoft will find a way to make its OS adapt to all screensizes and formfactors.
By then phones will be advanced enough to run the full version of Windows. The only issue is apps, right now Windows 8 and WP8 apps are buidl for specific screensizes. Developers should be encouraged to also make their apps adapt to various screensizes and formfactors. When Windows 8 has enough marketshare it would be a way to stand out from all the (cr)apps.
I wouldn't be suprised if Windows Phone 10 will never be and Windows 10 will also be available for phones.
ahmadcrofton says:
If this is possible... Then maybe they will update windows 8 phones to a windows phone rt sometime in the future... My wife and I talk about his alot...
link68759 says:
ahmadcrofton says:
link68759 says:
But seriously, no. Everyone cites the HD2 as a reason for porting other phones but no one realizes the HD2 is a once in a lifetime device. not just any other device can do what it can do, but people can't wrap their heads around the concept. It's all "hurr durr microsoft lied about upgrading". No they didn't. The hardware is so drastically different that if you even *could* get it to run, it wouldn't run well, and no one realizes that WP8 is hardware encrypted and porting it to unencrypted phones is the stupidest security faux pas conceivable.
It will never happen for any other device, officially or unofficially.
henry.gray says:
Its great how the HD2 can still do all this, ever after its not made anymore. The only hope anybody has to have WP8 on WP7 handsets it through hacked Roms, Microsoft said the phones would not be upgradable, which means they are unwilling to do it as to them it will be costly and time consuming, because its pretty much erasing everything on your phone and flashing with a new core and OS.
Aggemam says:
I still have my HD2 laying around. Been running various Android ROM's on it, also WP 7.5. It's impressive.
WP ran very smooth, but IMO Android didn't run that well. Everything worked fine, but eventually it would begin to lag. I guess that's more likely to be caused by the nature of Android, than by the HD2. ;-)
snakechia says:
Thanks GOD, I have a HTC HD2, still working good!
Edward Ferron says:
My 1st question is how did he get a copy of Windows RT given that we do not sell it.
Robert Carpenter says:
+1. That is even more important that the device it was hacked onto. What device was it hacked "from"?
Then this brings up other questions: Is Windows RT in the form of a ROM? ...
R0bR says:
In Windows RT you can backup the recovery files to USB, my guess is it was hacked from there.
majortom1981 says:
So it might be possible to get windows rt on an android tablet then ?
xalasten says:
I would want RT on other nexus 7 . Very similar hardware to the surface RT just smaller but doing so would certainly be illegal as you cannot buy a copy of RT. That being said it made its way to the HD2. Probably does not run per se. Probably more like a slideshow but cool still.
Cellus13 says:
Featuring windows phone 9. :P
Lumia800Lover says:
Hopefully someone can port WP8 or WPRT (though WP8 would be better and be more efficient with a probably better App Store since it's a smartphone OS) to the Nokia Lumia 800!
Jonas Jonsson says:
The Lumia 800 hasn't even been fully unlocked, only a few lucky devices are capable of loading custom ROMs. So highly doubt we will ever see this on the Lumia 800, unfortunately.
Bigger chance of this happening on first-generation devices and the Lumia 710.
user4545 says:
Microsoft needs to merge WP8 and RT.
RaRa85 says:
Ah, I'm proud to say this is one of the only phones I got as soon as it came out. Good times!
JamesDax3 says:
Port it to my Blackberry Playbook then I'll be impressed.
Chrissi85 says:
That´s really frickin amazing, the HD2 and Windows Phone are my best companion since many year´s.
The HD2 and Windows Phone, the never ending story.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport, situated in Andheri East, is one of the busiest airports in India. The international airport is named after Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhonsle, a 17th-century Maratha Emperor. This area is surrounded by shopping, authentic craft markets, and restaurants. Within a 10km radius from the area are prominent business districts like the Bandra-Kurla complex and the Santacruz Electronics Export Processing Zone (SEEPZ). Other popular local attractions include NSE Exhibition Centre, Borovilli National Park, Film City, and the Bombay Museum. Pre-paid taxis to the city centre are good value, and there are also less expensive (and slower) buses to travel around in.

The task? Beat the New England Patriots on the road.
As the heavy underdogs of the contest, the Bills will need some breaks to go their way to have a chance at doing the unthinkable. However, the Patriots are not a perfect team, leaving some areas that the Bills can exploit.
Let's take a look at some key things to watch for:
1) Bothering Brady
- Earlier in the week, Buffalo Bills General Manager Buddy Nix called it "amazing" to watch Tom Brady operate the New England offense on a weekly basis. With several question marks regarding the Bills defense, whether it be at cornerback or with the pass rush, it could be yet another week where Brady has another "amazing" performance. The Bills will have an interesting dilemma on their hands. Do they blitz and hope pressure gets to Brady quickly enough, or do they drop back seven players and hope their front-four is good enough to make him sweat a little bit. When the Bills signed Mario Williams and Mark Anderson in the off-season, they had hoped the defensive end duo would be able to give some clarity to that conundrum. With Williams not yet a consistent factor and Anderson on the sidelines, it adds even more weight to the decision they'll have to make. If they don't guess correctly, Brady will just be Brady once again.
2) Establishing C.J. (…and Fred)
- Following the Houston game, there was a big outcry to get explosive third-year runner C.J. Spiller the ball more than just six carries and five receptions in a single game. His attributes as a running back have many believing that he could be the next big thing in the NFL. The Bills will find some room to operate on offense and that could mean huge yardage for Spiller if he gets the ball enough. Even to a larger degree, Fred Jackson didn't get the ball much against the Texans either. For some reason the Bills have a tendency to abandon the run game in the second half when a team shows a different look to help limit that game. Adjustments will need to be made, and the Bills' running backs have to get the ball in their hands in order for the Bills to have a chance to keep pace with the Patriots offense.
3) Different Defensive Personnel Looks
- For the first time, the Bills saw an opponent forgo matching personnel with their offense to attempt to limit the amount of room on the ground they can have. While the Bills did rip off a couple of big runs, this approach indeed held them at bay. Based on the way Buffalo refused to operate their run offense against that look, it would be fair to expect they'll be seeing it again this weekend. The Bills might give some different defensive looks to the Patriots as well. A big story following the first loss to New England circled the Patriots taking advantage of a smaller personnel on the field by running it straight at them. It caused Kelvin Sheppard and then starter Arthur Moats to see limited snaps. Once again, it would be fair to expect that trend to change and for the bigger personnel to stay on the field at times.
4) Fitz and Stevie linking up
- Over the past two games, Ryan Fitzpatrick has limited turning the ball over through the air to just one time. Of course, the Bills didn't win either one of those games and the lone interception may have ultimately done them in. However, he's been much more accurate and efficient as of late and is starting to gain a bit of confidence back. Stevie Johnson has been starting to look like his normal self again, and has a chance to have his best game of the season against a Patriots secondary that gives up a ton of yardage. It would be one of the best ways for the Bills to stay in this one.
5) No Bolden? No problem
- The Patriots ran all over the Bills in their first meeting. Stevan Ridley was expected to get the carries, but Brandon Bolden was a bit of a surprise. Both ended up going for over 100-yards, leaving the defensive players in Buffalo scratching their heads. With Bolden suspended for the next four games, the Patriots still have another running back that's gained some steam as the season has progressed. Ridley will once again be highlighted, but look for Shane Vereen to fill the role that Bolden assumed in their first meeting. The Bills will have to prove that they can stop the run before any pressure gets taken off them in that respect.
OUT: CB Aaron Williams, DE Mark Anderson
QUESTIONABLE: DE Shawne Merriman, DT Kyle Williams, DE Chris Kelsay, DT Spencer Johnson, WR Stevie Johnson, G Kraig Urbik
PROBABLE: WR Brad Smith, G Andy Levitre, CB Stephon Gilmore, C Eric Wood, CB Leodis McKelvin, HB C.J. Spiller, DE Mario Williams, DT Marcell Dareus, T Chris Hairston, CB Justin Rogers
OUT: HB Brandon Bolden, LB Tracy White, DE Trevor Scott
QUESTIONABLE: S Patrick Chung, WR Wes Welker, TE Rob Gronkowski, C Nick NcDonald, LB Dont'a Hightower, G Logan Mankins, LB Brandon Spikes, WR Brandon Lloyd, T Sebastian Vollmer, CB Kyle Arrington, DT Ron Brace, TE Aaron Hernandez, S Steve Gregory, LB Jerod Mayo
PROBABLE: DT Kyle Love, WR Julian Edelman
Prediction: Patriots over Bills
- Too much fire power for the New England Patriots on offense and too little amount of ways to help limit them for the Buffalo Bills on defense will ultimately be the undoing of the Bills in this one. While the offense will get some yardage and points, I expect the Patriots to run away with this one and increase their AFC East division lead.

Notes from the Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer...For the 21st century we need to learn to cook for ourselves again, and learning to cook vegan can be a bit intimidating. I'd like to help with that, from my kitchen to yours. (Photo by Scott Hurlbert) I'm now on Facebook and Twitter(see links in sidebar at right).

Crabapples are tart and tangy, and beautiful to look at. Their red or pink skins turn any product you make with them a gorgeous hot pink, too! They also grow well in my area (Western BC, Canada). Unfortunately, you need to have a tree growing in your yard, or know someone who does, because they are an old-fashioned fruit and you can't find them in stores. I sincerely hope that they come into fashion again, because I see lots of possibilities for this fruit beyond jelly and spiced or pickled crabapples-- chutney, pies, sauce, fillings, juice....
The trees evidently do well even when stressed for water. It's hard to find information about the nutritional and/or medicinal benefits of crabapple, but I was sure there would be some. After all, they contain pectin, which is excellent for helping clear arteries, and fiber, and that pink color must be a source of antioxidants! Apples are one of the best sources of antioxidants, so it stands to reason that crabapples would be, too.
Brazilian researchers place apple second only to cranberries in phenolic content and antioxidant activity, so crabapples would also fall into that category. In other research, when several fruits were tested 'in vitro' on human liver-cancer cells, apple rated third in antiproliferation activity. They concluded that "dietary cancer prevention is proposed to provide a new alternative biomarker for future epidemiological studies in dietary cancer prevention and health promotion."
'Antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of common fruits.' Sun J, et al. Dept. of Food Science, Cornell Uv., Ithaca, New York, USA. J Agric Food Chem. 2002 Dec 4; 50(25):7449-54.
That tartness in crabapples indicates lots of vitamin C, as well.
A friend gave me a big bag of crabapples last week, and I finally got around to using them. I don't like making jelly and I was short on time, so I just picked through them and cooked them all, whole, in two large pots with some water until they started to burst. Then I ran them through my trusty food mill and ended up with a 20 cups of hot pink pulp! (Unfortunately, I didn't weigh the bag before I cooked them!)
I decided to use 12 cups to make a batch of crabapple butter in my slow-cooker, 2 cups to make a sorbet, and I froze the remainder for later. Both experiments turned out very well! So, if you can find someone who wants some crabapples taken off their hands, take them up on it!
The crabapple butter mixture before cooking
Printable Recipe
This is the most beautiful, tangy, mahogany-colored fruit butter! It would be delicious as a change from cranberry sauce with seitan roasts and cutlets, or on sandwiches and wraps. It's east to make in a slow-cooker because it doesn't require much attention and it will not scorch. I go easy on the spices because they can get too strong after long cooking.
12 cups raw crabapple pulp (see text above)
5 cups sugar
2 medium organic oranges, grated zest and juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/8 teaspoon ground fresh nutmeg
3/8 teaspoon ground cloves or allspice
Combine all of the ingredients in a 6 qt. slow cooker and turn to HIGH. Cook with the lid off for 8-10 hours, or until the mixture thickens and cooks down by half.
Stir the mixture throughout the cooking, every hour or so.
When done, the mixture should mound gently in a spoon, and when you place a spoonful of it on a plate, no liquid should exude from it. The mixture will be shiny and mahogany-colored.
You can water-bath can the butter for 15 minutes in half-pint or pint jars.

This is a photo of one of my Field Roast experiments (for the book I'm doing with owner David Lee). It's a rolled Italian Grain Meatloaf, with our homegrown greens as the filling. I made it as my contribution to one of our vegan potlucks (Italian theme this time) that we have with four other vegan couples here on the island from time to time.

I miss crabapples and regret that we never saw as much potential in them! As a kid we had a neighbor with a crabapple tree that dropped fruit in abundance, but that tree was chopped down years ago.

I think I'm going to drop dead of craving before the book comes out (whine, moan, pout). That meatloaf looks gooo-oood. I've been feeling deprived lately--kale has yet another good month to go here in Texas, and I can't find Field Roast anywhere, and Whole Foods promises I can buy Field Roast by the case and then forgets to order it for me. Poooooor me.
Thanks for your hard work, Bryanna. Wish I could help out. - Sat Aug 30, 03:29:00 PM PDT

My maternal grandparents had a crapabble tree in their backyard when I was growing up. I have fond memories of picking and eating them and they are something I miss. I have seen them occasionally in the grocery stores here in Los Angeles, but I've never purchased them.

First off, the meatloaf looks killer! Is Field Roast available in Canada? I enquired a couple of years ago, but was told it wasn't being sold here. I've only ever heard good things and am very curious.
I love what you did with the crabapples. Apples are one of my favorite fruits and I eat one every day. When I was a kid, there were some trees that neighbours had that grew very small apples that we called crabapples, but I don't know if they actually were. We were always told not to eat them so I assumed they weren't good for you. You've set me straight. Now I must source some out because that sorbet has my name all over it! - Wed Sep 03, 11:08:00 PM PDT

Carrie, field Roast is NOT available in Canada-- yet! I think David is going to try to find a Canadian manufacturer eventually. He just got through moving his Seattle production plant, then we have to wrap up the book, so I guess we will have to make our own until that happens!

~ 8 years ago I got a *mystery* crab apple (label had fallen off) very inexpensive at a local nursery - at first I was disappointed that it had clusters of blueberry size fruit (I was hoping for plum size, that I'd tasted down the street) - now I love them! They are ripe now, & 'hold' on the tree for quite awhile -
This morning I plucked a small handful & add to musli - coconut milk kefir w/ grated apple, & a handful of crab apple 'berries' - plus a few Red Rowan berries to top it off (sweeter than the standard orange Sorbus, this one is a cross between Mt Ash & Hawthorne) - http://www.onegreenworld.com//product_info.php?cPath=1_39&products_id=649
Thanks for speaking up for the humble Crab! - Wed Oct 19, 09:41:00 AM PDT
