How do I change courses?

Students are able to change courses within the first two weeks of classes. To add and drop a course, come see me in the Dean’s Reception, McDougall Hall, Room 323. I will review the class you would like for both prerequisites and enrollment numbers and authorize the move if all the conditions are satisfied.

How do I get on the waiting list?

To put your name on a waiting list, go to your Campus Login, Click on "Register for ___ Semester", and look at the far right, you will see a tab for "Waiting List".    Click the course you want to be on the waiting list for and it will automatically add you to that list.  Our office checks the list daily and will add you to the course if you meet all prerequisites. 

What do I do now that I am on a waiting list?

If you have not secured a spot in your desired class prior to the beginning of semester, it is very important to attend the first few classes. We will add students to classes as spaces open up.  Keep watching your Campus Login to see if you have been added to your desired class.
