They should, however, take full advantage of the opportunities that exist on and outside the campus to learn more about available fields of study and occupational fields. When students have selected a major field, they should study all the requirements which are specified in this catalog under their chosen degree program. They should make a tentative semester by semester plan for completing the requirements including prerequisites and discuss this plan with an adviser in the major. In addition to courses in the major department, related courses in other fields and supporting courses in basic skills may also be required. These should be included in the tentative semester by semester plan.
Some departments require placement tests prior to admission to classes.
The times and places for such tests are given in the class schedule. Students should purchase a copy of the class schedule at the Titan Bookstore when registration for classes begins. Such a change is not official until the form has been signed and filed in the Registrar' s Office. Each department follows the advisement system which it finds the most appropriate for its majors. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain the assistance of an academic adviser.
