• You should register for the upcoming term as soon as possible. Don't risk being closed out of a class! Courses are always subject to closure or cancellation.
• A course which carries a prerequisite designation does so as an advisement to students that the course is either a continuation of the cited prerequisite course or that it is built upon and presumes the content of the prerequisite.
• Many courses (for example, the 21XX series for the Internet Specialist degree/certificate and the 287X series for the Computer Information Science degree/certificate) will only be offered once per year. Please make certain you meet with a counselor for academic advising early in your program.
