Things to Ask Yourself…
…when Adding or Dropping a Course
1. Adding – Will this duplicate a GenEd requirement I have already fulfilled?
2. Adding – Are there prerequisites or corequisites for this course?
3. Dropping – Do I have enough credits to be a full-time student?
• Full-time = 12+ credits; Maximum this fall = 17 credits
4. Adding/Dropping – Is this a major requirement?
• If not a major or GenEd requirement, then it’s an elective.
• Does your major allow electives?
5. Adding/Dropping – Do I have AP/IB/transfer credit for this course?
• Check your unofficial transcript to see if any have posted.
