Course Planning

Students should understand the graduation requirements. It is recommended that students plan their courses at least two years into the future. The following are useful for planning:

• Schedule of Classes
• Planned Offerings for Three Years: This is the Department's plan of future courses. Note that lower division and some upper division courses are planned to be offered every semester. Most upper division courses are not offered every semester. Required upper division courses and EE Group I Track electives are offered every year.

3. Sign the Assumption of Risk and Release form for the desired x96 course
