To avoid disappointment, wasted time and effort, be sure you satisfy the prerequisites for courses before enrolling and do not enroll in too many courses as you may be deenrolled from your preferred courses. The Department want students to succeed in their studies and graduate. Our experience has shown that students are more likely to be successful by adhering to the following citeria. Departures from the norm are discouraged. The Department tries to maintain normal progress at all levels, including advanced standing students.
