Registration for FAll 2014

Dates: August, 2014

Follow your checklist Each of you should have a checklist that was

distributed by your department at the Orientation Week.

Before each registration follow your checklist independently and come up with questions to your advisor.

Number of credits 30 credits + 100 hours of Sport 6 audit credits –it is not required, but possible to

audit the classes in addition to required 30 credits of semester load

Auditing You have a chance to audit the classes. If you

select a course and see available audit seats, it means you may audit the current class. If you can’t register for audit it means this course is not available for audit.

Prerequisites Every student should check a prerequisite for

each class. Prerequisites are classes you need to take before

you can move on to another class. Often it is a move to more advanced class. For example, you cannot take FYS 216, if you have not taken FYS 116.

The other example: psychology 101 needs to be taken before psychology 250.

Prerequisites Please remember, if you took psychology 101 and

failed it, it means you did not pass the prerequisite requirement and you cannot take more advance course like psychology 250.

should take it for Fall 2014. Remember, FYS part I is offered only in Fall semesters.
