Note: when scheduling CRS/APD/RCS classes, the department makes every effor to keep classes within a prescribed semester out of conflict. For example, APD 244 would
not be scheduled at the same time as APD 250. By the same token, APD 244 may be scheduled at the same time as APD 342, so it is in a student's best interest to take
classes as advised by the plan.
