Schedule Changes
Please keep in mind that student course requests help
determine which classes will be offered and how many
sections of classes will be available. In short, many
important decisions are based on the number of course
requests. There is no guarantee that a class will be available
if you change your mind in August.
Are strongly discouraged after classes begin
If you need to make a change to your schedule it should be
done during registration week in August
