Hints

  • Students should take all remedial courses early in order to focus on degree-required classes in later semesters.
  • Take classes when offered as some classes are only offered certain semesters.
  • Plan electives early to insure completion of courses within the desired time frame.
  • General education electives should be chosen with the transfer degree and college in mind.
