• Consider the amount of reading each course requires.
• Take introductory courses in majors you are considering.
• Follow course prerequisites.
• Most sequence courses, such as chemistry and languages, begin in the fall term.
• Consider including a course for a change of pace- -dance, ceramics, racquetball, jazz ensemble, etc.
• All courses count toward graduation.
• Consider your interests as well as what requirement is fulfilled by the courses you take.
• If you are unable to register for a course you want, place your name on a wait list, so that you will be given the opportunity to register if an opening occurs.
• Ask your adviser to make a note in your file of any special need.
