OTHER INFORMATION

Register for classes once registration opens. View directions for how to register.

Required for first quarter:

  • IT 101
  • ENGL& 101 English Composition
  • COL 101 College Success
    • If you have attended college previously and earned 45 college-level credits (with a 2.0 or higher) you may be able to waive this course. Please email the adviser you have been working with to check.

Highly recommended:

  • We recommend that you add a math class in your first quarter. One of these classes is required for graduation but you may choose to take the class later on in the program (if you choose to take the class later it may take you longer to graduate). Taking this class during your first quarter will result in a heavier than average full-time course workload. Refer to the class schedule for math options (MATH& 107, MATH& 141, or MATH& 146).
