Bring a list of courses you’d like to consider for
your first semester (This does not have to be perfect; it
is just an exercise to help learn the process.)
Choose several more than you plan to take since
some may not be open
Refer to both General
Education Section and
Program Section of Bulletin
Seek a balanced scheduled – a
little lighter during the first
term is often good advice
Think about your “prime
times” for class, then stretch
yourself a little and be flexible
Try one class in your major if
possible
ENG 101 (or 100 or 103 if needed) – Goal 1A
1 Science course – depends on major
1 course from Goal 5 (such as PSYC 101)
1 course from Goal 6/7 (such as MUS 125)
Every major will vary, but strive for balance,
diversity of goals, and getting started with
ENG, Science, and perhaps Math.
