This two-year course cycle is intended to assist students in planning their academic program. It also allows the department to
anticipate staffing needs. It is subject to change without notice. This is not a contract or guarantee that any specific course will be
offered precisely as listed. All course offerings depend on such things as the university budget, instructor availability, and
enrollment. Should a substitute course be deemed necessary, a reasonable effort will be made to ensure the new course will
continue to fulfill the same major requirement or general education element as the original course. This course cycle does not
anticipate possible scheduling conflicts that may arise. Students are expected to meet with their advisor at least once per
semester when planning their pathway to success at PLU, and this course cycle is not a substitute for that expectation. The Class
Schedule on Banner Web (banweb.plu.edu) provides the most up-to-date course information.
