Registration Information

By clicking on the section title of the course (ex. "Writing and Rhetoric"), you can see additional information specific to that section. This includes any prerequisites, corequisites, registration restrictions specific to that section, and any section-specific text.  Section-specific text indicates when sections are reserved for specific populations (like Honors, Learning Communities, etc.). This is also where activities such as field trips may be posted.

Abbreviated titles are used. Refer to the current catalog for full title and description.

The Course ID column lists from the Course Inventory the subject area and course number of each course followed by a two-digit section number. Refer to the undergraduate or graduate catalog for a full course description and course pre-requisites. Subject areas are abbreviations of the name of the department or of the field of study within the department (see chart below).

The first digit of the course number designates the year level the course is intended to be taken and indicates the minimum class rank a student should have achieved to enroll in the course (see Class Level below). The second and third digits may indicate the subject area within a particular meaning or it may indicate the place of a course in a sequence or series of courses in a department.

Prior to enrollment, the student must obtain an approval form from the Graduate School, secure approval from all appropriate persons, and return the form to the Graduate School in order to be allowed to take the course. Seniors approved to receive undergraduate credit will be expected to meet the same requirements as the graduate students in the course. Selected seniors who meet the standards for undergraduates to take a graduate course (as described in the graduate catalog) may apply in advance of registration to enroll in a graduate course.
