audit the classes in addition to required 30 credits of semester load

Auditing You have a chance to audit the classes. If you

select a course and see available audit seats, it means you may audit the current class. If you can’t register for audit it means this course is not available for audit.

Prerequisites Every student should check a prerequisite for

each class. Prerequisites are classes you need to take before

you can move on to another class. Often it is a move to more advanced class. For example, you cannot take FYS 216, if you have not taken FYS 116.

The other example: psychology 101 needs to be taken before psychology 250.

Prerequisites Please remember, if you took psychology 101 and

failed it, it means you did not pass the prerequisite requirement and you cannot take more advance course like psychology 250.

Prerequisites The other detail about prerequisite:

For example, if you are taking PSY 101 right now, in spring 2014. During registration period you already signed up for PSY 250. In summer you find out you fail the PSY 101. Make sure to do changes in your schedule during add/drop period. In other words, you have to drop PSY 250, since you did not pass PSY 101.
