Pay special attention to the notes following any courses in which you are interested.

100 – 199 = lower level, introductory, survey, preparatory, and basic undergraduate courses without prerequisites.
200 – 499 = upper level, intermediate undergraduate courses with at least 3 s.h. of prerequisites.
500 – 699 = graduate level courses only (effective Fall 96 semester).

To register for courses where permission is required (A,C,D,I,N), students must first obtain a signed Add/Drop Form from the appropriate faculty member.

COURSE TITLE: This may reflect an abbreviated title. Full titles may be found in the College Catalog.

CR: This column reflects the semester hours earned upon successful completion of the course. (Exception: COMP 090, COMP 095, MATH 001, MATH 002, and PROF 095 count as 3 s.h. toward full-time enrollment, but do not count in earned hours upon completion of the course.) Where no credit is offered, the course is either below 100 level or is a required lab for the course listed above it. For variable credit courses (i.e. 1-6), students must select the number of credits desired at the time of registration for the course.

P/F: Pass/Fail only.

A-E: Letter graded only.

Courses without notations may be selected by students for Pass/Fail grading. If Pass/Fail grading is not opted, the grading mode is A-E. See Pass/Fail Option Restrictions.
