Parts of Term
Continue to main contentSchedules are subject to change depending on departmental changes. Students will be notified if a departmental change makes it necessary for them to change their enrollments.
Classes are often offered during only specific semesters, and it is important for students to understand this in order to plan for graduation. A schedule of classes has been compiled to provide students with the ability to prepare themselves and take management of their class schedule.
