greetings from the
associate dean
Welcome To Chapel Hill!
Whether you are a first-year student or a transfer student, this is a very exciting time
for you. You are about to embark on a unique journey of learning, discovery and
engagement. Here at Carolina, faculty, staff and other students are ready to share with
you the opportunities that will shape your college life and your future.
The Academic Advising Program and its advisors have years of experience and a wealth
of knowledge to help you make the most of your time at UNC-CH. Carolina’s liberal arts
curriculum encourages you to explore our global society through science, history,
literature, the arts and other disciplines. Your passion for knowledge led you to Chapel Hill;
now, let that passion lead you in exploring the dozens of majors and minors available to you.
Our goal in Advising is to empower students to be confident, connected and curious. Our
advisors will partner with you to create a unique academic plan that moves you toward
graduation and beyond. With their support, you can be confident in your abilities
and goals. Advising will connect you with an abundance of resources on campus, from
academic enrichment to career planning. Be curious and explore Carolina by taking
a course with award-winning professors, getting involved in co-curricular activities
such as study abroad, research, and internships and engaging in any number of student
organizations that will round out your academic life.
The Academic Advising Program has prepared this Academic Advising Guide for new firstyear and transfer students as a companion to the information you can find in
your Advising Sakai “course.” The 2014–2015 Academic Advising Guide includes five parts:
Part I covers Graduation Requirements: UNC-Chapel Hill Curriculum, General
Education Requirements, Majors and Minors. All first-year and transfer students
should review these sections carefully to ensure understanding of General Education
Requirements, Major Requirements, and beginning courses for majors.
Part II covers course placement for English, foreign language and math, as well as,
credits for standardized tests.
Part III is the First-Year Student Registration Information: All new first-year students
should review this section for information related to preparing for Fall course
planning and registration.
Part IV lists courses offered in Fall 2014 that are appropriate for first-year students.
Students should use these lists, as well as, the First-Year Seminars listings (fys.unc.
edu) to create their Fall schedule.
Part V is the Transfer Student Advising Guide: All new transfer students should
review this section for insight on academic advising at Carolina, transfer credit
evaluation information, and strategies to assist with Fall course registration.
Be sure to read each of the sections pertaining to you. Utilize the information to help
you navigate the Carolina Curriculum, registration process, and academic expectations.
Refer back to this information during the academic year and take advantage of the
many resources outlined in the New Student Guide to Carolina to help you make the most
of your time at UNC-CH.
We hope you will visit us soon in the Steele Building. Your academic advisor will partner
with you to enhance your academic success and to help you make the most of this
incredible opportunity. I wish you the very best as you take the next step in your future.

After Orientation (First-year students only)
Check your UNC email, Sakai, and this Guide for your registration dates and tips.
Before your registration window opens, fill your ConnectCarolina shopping cart with courses that you and
your academic advisor discussed at Orientation.
Check that you have no holds that may prevent you from registering on-time. If you do, click on them to see
how to get them lifted.
When your designated registration window opens, log-on to connectcarolina.unc.edu to enroll in your
courses. (Be sure to click Enroll and Finish Enrolling to complete the process.)
Before your registration window closes be sure you are enrolled in at least 12 academic hours—preferably
15–17 hours.
Go to advising.unc.edu/newstudents for assistance during course registration.
After registration
Return to Sakai and check for additional important information about your first year at UNC-Chapel Hill:
student success standards (eligibility), resources, academic assistance, etc.
Beginning Thursday, August 7 at 11:00AM EDT, first-year students who attended June or July Orientation
sessions may adjust their schedules as necessary at connectcarolina.unc.edu. (Transfer students may adjust
their schedules at any time during the summer.)
Review the on-campus placement exam schedule on page 61 and sign-up as appropriate.
If you waitlisted a course, review your schedule regularly and especially on August 7. If you are still not in the
course, check your position on the waitlist and consider your options. Though you may not add your name to
any waitlist after August 7, ConnectCarolina will continue to move waitlisted students to enrollment if seats
become available.
No later than the first day of classes, make sure you are enrolled in a minimum of 12 academic hours.
If you have not already done so, send your AP/SAT/IB/SAT Subject scores and official transcripts for other
colleges attended to the Office of Admissions. (Transfer students, be sure final transcripts that include any
summer courses you took and any degrees awarded are sent to Admissions.)
Review the Academic Calendar located on the back inside cover of the New Student Guide to Carolina for important
dates and deadlines. Official University calendars can be found at registrar.unc.edu/academic-calendar.
Check the final examination schedule posted at registrar.unc.edu/academic-calendar for your Fall classes.
Plan any winter travel after your last exam.
Transfer students: as appropriate submit your request for
transfer credit re-evaluation at admissions.unc.edu/Apply/Transfer_Students/Tr_Eval_CurrentStdnts.html and/
or

Pharmacy. Acceptance to the program is by application.
Degrees Offered
UNC-CH offers many majors and minors in the College of
Arts & Sciences and Professional Schools. Within the
College of Arts & Sciences, majors and minors are
broken down into four divisions: Fine Arts, Humanities,
Natural Sciences & Mathematics, and Social &
Behavioral Sciences.
Carolina awards the following undergraduate degrees:
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
Bachelor of Science (BS)
Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
Both the Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of
Arts (BA) degrees are awarded in many disciplines.
BS degrees require more math, science, and major
courses, while BA majors are more focused on the
liberal arts.
BFA and BM degrees are heavily focused on the
execution of an artistic practice and require more
major courses.
Professional Schools
Carolina offers undergraduate degrees in the following
professional schools:
Each professional school requires completion of
a specific set of required courses—with grade
requirements set by each school—before admission.
If you are considering one of the professional schools,
it is extremely important that you are also working
towards a feasible alternative major in case you are
not accepted to your school of choice.
First-year students, you can use the information in the
charts on page 53–54 to help you plan for your first
year or two.
Transfer students, you should consult the charts in
this section and speak with an academic advisor
about your options. Please note the charts do not
include all required courses for these programs.
Major/Minor Combinations
All students must complete one major in order to graduate.
The University permits a student to graduate with any
of the following combinations:
Business (BS)
one major
Dentistry (Dental Hygiene) (BS)
one major and one minor
Information and Library Science (BS)
one major and two minors
Journalism and Mass Communication (BA)
two majors, or
Medicine (Clinical Laboratory Science and
Radiologic Science) (BS)
two majors and one minor.
Nursing (BS)
Pharmacy (Pharm D*)
Public Health (BS)

Pre-Law
UNC-CH offers no pre-law major. Most law schools
accept students from all majors. Advising is available
for students interested in pursuing law school via the
Office of Graduate and Pre-Professional Advising at
careers.unc.edu/pre-professional-advising.
Health-Related Professions
Dental, Medical, Nursing, Optometry, Pharmacy, Veterinary
or others:
Carolina does not offer majors specifically designed
to prepare students for the health professions.
Most majors are suitable preparation provided that
students take additional prerequisite courses and
pursue appropriate c0-curricular activities.
The Pre-Health Advising Office serves students
interested in these and other health professions
(e.g., physician’s assistant, podiatry, physical
therapy, etc.); advisors are available by
appointment and on a walk-in basis throughout
the academic year. Consult Pre-Health Advising at
prehealth.unc.edu.
Advanced Degrees
The University also offers highly-motivated undergraduate
students the opportunity to earn a Master of Arts
degree in certain programs by completing additional
course work, usually in a fifth year of study. Some
programs require completion of an undergraduate
degree before beginning. Several of these programs
lead to an MA in Teaching in specific disciplines,
such as English and the sciences. Additionally, there
are seven joint BA/MA degree programs: Computer
Science, Contemporary European/Trans-Atlantic
Studies, Environmental Sciences & Engineering,
Franco-Arab Studies, French & Francophone Studies,
Information & Library Science, and Mathematical
Decision Science & Operations Research. For
information on these programs, consult the
Undergraduate Bulletin.
Undecided
If you are undecided about a major, don’t worry!
Use your first year to choose interesting courses to
explore different fields of study, while also fulfilling
graduation requirements.
Foundations courses prepare you for all majors and
are a priority during your first year.
Look at pages 49–54 to see suggested and/or
required courses for majors that interest you, and
pay particular attention to any courses required of
first-year students.
Consider taking EDUC 131 Career Exploration, a onecredit course taught by University Career Services
professionals designed to assist students in exploring
majors and career options.
Transfer students who are undecided should consult
with an academic advisor early in the Fall to discuss
potential majors and completing them within the eightsemester limit.
Required/Suggested Courses for Majors at Carolina
In the following pages, the majors offered at UNC-CH are listed along with required and/or suggested courses.
Where appropriate, information on math, statistics and science courses is also indicated.
For majors in Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and some Social and Behavioral Sciences and professional
schools, MATH 110 is required and is so noted below—for further information, see pages 55-56.
These lists do not include all requirements for the majors; they are intended to get new students started and
on track for graduation. See the Undergraduate Bulletin (unc.edu/ugradbulletin) for detailed information on
each major.
Not all courses listed below are offered Fall 2014. Check ConnectCarolina for the most current course offerings.

Important Notice Regarding the Major in Education:
Students entering the University in Fall 2014 should know that the School of Education is in the process of redesigning
its teacher licensure programs to meet increasing state and national requirements for professional educators. Faculty
members will be developing a dual BA-MAT program in education for students who have earned a bachelor’s degree
in an appropriate subject area. Students who desire an initial license to teach children from birth to prekindergarten
or prekindergarten through elementary or middle grades (in mathematics, science, social studies or language arts)
can expect to apply to the newly redesigned graduate programs beginning in Fall 2016; at that time the bachelor of
arts degree with a major in education will be discontinued. The School of Education website will provide updated
information as it becomes available. For those wishing to obtain licensure in secondary mathematics or science (grades
nine through 12) or music education (grades kindergarten thorugh12), the School of Education continues to offer initial
licensure at the undergraduate level.

part ii: course placement
& credits
Overview
This section of the Advising Guide will assist you in
determining:
BE = “by-examination” PL = “placement”
There is no limit on the number of BE courses that
can be used for General Education Requirements or
elective credit. Additionally, BE and PL courses may
be used to satisfy major/minor requirements with the
following limitations:
No more than two courses (6–8 credit hours) of BE
credit may be used as part of the core requirements
in any major.
No more than one course (3–4 credit hours) of BE
credit may be used as part of a minor.
BE and PL credit does not count toward minimum
grade requirements in majors or minors.
Some majors/minors require a student to complete
a specific number of courses and/or credit hours
in the field; in these cases PL credit used in the
major/minor may necessitate the student taking
additional course(s) to meet the course and/or
credit-hour requirement.
English Composition and Rhetoric
All UNC-Chapel Hill undergraduate students must
complete or transfer in the equivalent of ENGL 105.
Some students, however, will need to complete ENGL
100 Basic Writing before enrolling in ENGL 105. Use the
chart below to determine your starting level for the
English Composition and Rhetoric requirement:
English Composition and Rhetoric
Highest Placement Prevails
All Natural Science, Mathematics, and Health
Professions majors and minors have MATH 110
(Algebra) as a prerequisite to required math, statistics
and chemistry sequences. Some majors in Social and
Behavioral Sciences also require MATH 110 (see page
52). Accordingly, you must place out of or complete
MATH 110 if you are planning to take any of the
following courses and/or programs of study:
Business (requires statistics/calculus-based course)
Chemistry (including CHEM 101)
Economics (major)
Exercise and Sport Sciences (all concentrations
except Sports Administration)
Statistics (STOR 112 and above)
Math/Calculus (MATH 130 and above)
Management and Society (major)
Most science majors (including Psychology BS)
Pre-Med/Dental course work
Additionally: the Psychology (BA) and Journalism
majors have recommended coursework that require
MATH 110 as a prerequisite.
Note:
MATH 110 does not meet the Quantitative
Reasoning Requirement or any other General
Education Requirement.
While MATH 110 is not a formal prerequisite for
ECON 101 Introduction to Economics, The UNC-CH
Department of Economics strongly recommends
that students place out of or complete MATH 110
before taking this course.
Choose one, three hours each.

Not all majors/minors require chemistry, calculus,
statistics or MATH 110; review the information on
pages 49–54 to determine if your intended major
requires this course. If you will not need MATH
110, there are other options for you to complete the
Quantitative Reasoning Requirement; see below for a
list of courses.
Earning MATH 110
There are three ways to earn MATH 110:
• Through placement credit earned by a score on a
standardized test.
Part II
a c a d e m ic
a d v isin g
o Check the Mathematical Sciences Placement Chart on page 58.
• Through transfer credit.
o If you have transfer credit, check ConnectCarolina
to see if you have MATH 110 PL.
• Through completing the course at Carolina.
o Enrollment in MATH 110 at Carolina is conditional
upon an appropriate test score as outlined in the Mathematical Sciences Placement Chart on page 58.
o
56
If you have not completed one of the designated tests on the Mathematical Sciences Placement Chart, you may not enroll directly into MATH 110; instead, you must take the SAT Subject Test in Mathematics to determine your placement. UNC-Chapel Hill Math Sequencing
Sat Subject Test (Sat II) In Mathematics
If you have already taken the SAT Subject Test
in Mathematics Level 1 and do not intend to
begin your math sequence with MATH 231 (see
Math Sequencing below), there is no need to
take the SAT Subject Test in Mathematics
Level 2.
The University recommends that all students
who intend to take calculus and do not already
have MATH 129PL (based on the Mathematical
Sciences Placement Chart on page 58) to take
the SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 2.
If you need to take the SAT Subject Test in
Mathematics Level 2, please register for the
exam at collegeboard.org.
Foreign Language Placement
All students must demonstrate competency at, or complete through, Level 3 of a foreign language. Use the
information included in this section to determine your foreign language placement and credit (if any).
•If you earn PL or BE credit for Level 3 or higher you are not required to take additional foreign language
courses at UNC-CH unless your major/minor requires additional levels. (For higher levels, see the
course offerings in ConnectCarolina.)
•If you place into Level 1 of the foreign language you studied in high school and wish to continue
studying that language at UNC-CH, you should enroll in that level. However, the credit hours for
Level 1 will not count toward the minimum 120 academic hours required for graduation (exceptions:
Modern Hebrew and Japanese). Credit hours for Level 2 and 3 of your high school foreign language will
count toward graduation.

part iii: preparing for
course registration
All students are required to be familiar with and
adhere to the policies and procedures included in the
Undergraduate Bulletin (unc.edu/ugradbulletin). You are
expected to refer regularly to the Bulletin for academic
requirements and policies; you may consult with an
academic advisor for clarification and with additional
questions. Below are a few of the more pertinent rules
new students need to know.
Registration Policies
62
Semester Course Load
You are required to complete your degree in no
more than eight (8) semesters. You are allowed an
unlimited number of summer sessions. Transfer
students: see pages 82–83 for important information
on calculating your number of semesters remaining.
All students must be enrolled in at least 12
academic hours each Fall/Spring semester to
maintain their full-time status.
To meet the minimum graduation requirement of
120 academic hours in eight semesters, you should
average 15 hours per semester and/or take summer
courses. (Some majors require more than 120 hours
for graduation.)
Failure to enroll in at least 12 hours in a Fall or
Spring semester can potentially have negative
consequences for academic eligibility, future
registration, insurance, and financial aid.
We recommend a first-semester course load of 15–17
hours, which gives you the option of dropping a
course should it become necessary.
You may register for up to 17 credit hours until
August 7. After that date, the credit load for all
students increases to 18 hours.
AP/IB credit (BE/PL—see section II), transfer credit,
and summer courses can give you more flexibility
in the number of hours you take each semester.
Note: The path to reach graduation will be different for
each and every student! Numerous variables affect
a student’s path to graduation (e.g., earning BE/PL or
transfer credit hours; attending summer school or
studying abroad; completing a double major, a major
and a minor, or a single major, etc.).
Academic Hours
Most courses award three hours of academic credit,
but there are some common exceptions.
Levels 1 and 2 of some foreign languages award four
hours of academic credit, and most natural science
courses with built-in labs award four credit hours.
Lifetime Fitness and most free-standing labs grant
one hour of credit.
PHYA (Physical Activity) courses are listed as onehour courses but do not count toward the 12-hour
minimum enrollment per semester or
toward graduation.
Course Information: Sections,
Prerequisites and Cross-Listings
There may be more than one section of the same
course taught in a semester.
• The section number identifies the instructor, the
time, and the location of the course. For example,
ENGL 105 will have multiple sections as follows:
ENGL 105–001, ENGL 105–002, etc., each taught at a
different time by a different instructor.
• Sections numbered 851–853, 900–994, 950–959
and 988 are offered through the UNC William and
Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education and
have restrictions; see your Sakai site for more
information.
The Undergraduate Bulletin includes any prerequisites
for each course. ConnectCarolina will not
necessarily prevent you from registering for a
course with a prerequisite. It is your responsibility
to enroll only in courses for which you have
completed the prerequisites.
When a course is listed under two (or more)
departments (i.e., “cross-listed”), you may enroll in
any of the given course departments and numbers.
Each will count equally.
Recitations
Some large lecture courses have a required smallgroup discussion section called a recitation.
A recitation is not extra work but an integral part
of a course, and you should not hesitate to take a
course with a recitation.
Recitations give no hours of academic credit.
Often, the last digit of a course section number will
correspond with the first digit of the associated
recitation sections. For example, a course section
number of 006 would have recitation section
numbers in the 600s.
Waitlists
During registration you have the opportunity to
place your name on the waitlist of one course.
However, we caution you to use this option wisely,
as waitlists are no guarantee that you will receive
a seat in the class. In short, waitlists do not move
quickly.
Courses that you waitlist count toward the
maximum number of hours you may register for.
Be sure you begin the semester enrolled in at least
12 academic hours (15–17 hours are recommended).
Adding Courses
Through August 25: you may add a course to your
schedule using ConnectCarolina if there are open
seats.
After August 25, instructors are not obligated to add
you to a course. Adding courses after the second
week of the semester is not recommended and is
not usually possible unless you have been attending
the class regularly.
August 26–September 2: instructors and academic
departments may add students to courses at their
discretion.
• Students are expected to check ConnectCarolina
to be sure they are correctly enrolled in all courses
they are attending no later than the end of the
second week of classes.
After the second week of classes: under certain
circumstances, a student may be allowed to add a
course; in these cases, the student should consult
with an academic advisor.
• If deemed appropriate the advisor will issue the
student an add form.
• The student will take the add form to the course
instructor for his/her signature and return it to
Academic Advising for processing.
• Important: the adding of courses at this point may
also be subject to approval by an academic dean.
Students are expected to ensure that their
schedules do not fall below the minimum
12 academic hours required for full-time
registration.
Through the end of the second week of classes
(September 2 2014): Students may drop courses
online using ConnectCarolina.
Weeks three through eight (September 3 –
October 13): Students may drop a course as
follows:
• Students should not stop attending any class or
completing assignments unless and until their
academic advisor or dean officially approves
dropping the course from the student’s
schedule.
• Students who wish to drop a course must
obtain a registration/drop/add form from their
academic advisor. Both the advisor and student
must sign the form.
• Students may not drop below 12 academic
hours.
• For courses dropped during this period, a grade
of WC (withdrawal by choice) shall be recorded.
• Once declared, a WC grade cannot be
rescinded except when a student withdraws
from an entire semester due to extenuating
circumstances.
• Students are allowed no more than 16 hours of
WC grades during their undergraduate career.
October 13, 2014 is the last day undergraduates
may drop a Fall 2014 course or declare a course
on the Pass/D+/D/F grading basis. See advising.
unc.edu/policies-and-procedures/pass-fail or an
advisor for more information.
In extenuating circumstances, a student may be
allowed to drop a course after the eighth week of
classes. In this case, a student must petition the
dean of his/her college for permission. (See an
academic advisor for more information.)
Important: Even if it would not cause you to
drop below 12 academic hours, you may not
drop ENGL 100/105/105i or a Foundations-level
foreign language course (levels 1–3) after the
second week of classes (September 2, 2014)
without permission of an assistant dean in
Academic Advising. Permission is granted only in
extenuating circumstances.
Part III
Therefore, on August 8, you should check your
schedule on ConnectCarolina; if you are not in the
class, look up your position on the waitlist, then
consider choosing a course that is open.
All first-year students entering UNC-Chapel Hill in
Fall 2014 are subject to a new course drop policy.
(Transfer students entering the University in
Fall 2014 are not subject to these new rules; they
will follow the drop rules listed in the 2013–2014
Undergraduate Bulletin.)
a c a d e m ic
a d v isin g
You may add your name to a waitlist through
Thursday, August 7; after that date, ConnectCarolina
will continue to automatically enroll students from
the waitlist if seats become available, however you
will no longer be able to add your name to a list.
Dropping Courses

Student Success Standards
(Eligibility)
64
It is your responsibility to check your academic status in
ConnectCarolina at the end of each term.
Part III
a c a d e m ic
a d v isin g
At the end of each term, undergraduates earn an
academic status that determines their eligibility to
continue enrollment. To enroll in a Fall or Spring
semester, students must have a 2.000 cumulative
UNC-Chapel Hill grade-point average and make
satisfactory progress each term in the number of
credit hours passed. Students who fall below the
designated standards may enroll in Summer Session
courses, and are encouraged to do so.
To check your status:
Log into connectcarolina.unc.edu.
Navigate to the Student Center.
Choose “Grades” from the “other academic” dropdown menu on the left.
Select the term you have just completed and click
“Continue.”
View your Academic Standing at the bottom of the
page, under your course grades.
You may also receive important messages about your
academic standing in the “To Do List” on the Student
Center page. You should always read these messages
and follow the instructions they provide.
Additional information about academic eligibility
and academic probation can be found at
studentsuccess.unc.edu. If you have any questions
about your academic standing, speak with an
academic advisor. Appointments with advisors can
be made online at advising.unc.edu.

registration hot tips
1. Seek a balance in your schedule.
a. Select a combination of courses that include Foundations and Approaches, prerequisites for an intended
major, and electives of interest.
a. You are strongly encouraged to take one mathematics and one science course in your first semester if you
do not already have credit for them.
a c a d e m ic
a d v isin g
b. Do not enroll, however, in more than one mathematics and one science course (especially CHEM 101 and
101L) in your first semester.
65
2. If you are considering a major in the sciences,
Part III
b. Grouping all of your courses into two days (e.g., Mondays and Wednesday) may be tempting, but you need
to give yourself time in between each class to study, review for a quiz, eat. Instead, spread your classes out
over all five days and leave room for breaks between classes.
Tip: leave some time after your LFIT for showering before going to your next class.
c. Even though PSYC 101 fulfills a science requirement (PL), feel free to take this course in addition to the
above limitations.
d. Science and math courses usually follow a set sequence, based on prerequisite requirements for each
course. The information in the section “Majors at Carolina” will help you plan your first year at Carolina.
e. First-year students should not enroll in any chemistry or biology course numbered above 199.
f. Experience tells us that new students need at least one semester to adjust to Carolina academics. Limiting
the number of science and math courses in the first term helps students succeed, and keeps you on track
for any intended major or career path.
If you are not considering a major in the sciences, you do not necessarily need to take a math and/or science in your
first semester. At Orientation, you can discuss your options with an advisor.
3. Remember, you are planning for your first semester,
not your entire four years.
a. You can stay on track for the most demanding of majors and career plans with one or two required general
education or prerequisite courses in your first semester.
b. Use this opportunity to begin exploring options.
(Continued next page)
photos by dan sears, unc-ch
4. What if you already have credit for one or more requirements?
a. Choose from a range of courses from the lists in this Guide.
Part III
a c a d e m ic
a d v isin g
b. While you may be tempted to take a more advanced course, Academic Advising strongly advises against
this. Intermediate and upper-level courses are usually not appropriate for first-semester students, even if
you have credit for a prerequisite.
c. Courses numbered >200 presume academic and research skills that you may not have had the opportunity
to develop. Please refer to the UNC-CH Course Numbering System explanation on page 69 for more
information.
d. Also, do not let the fact that you have BE or PL credit for a curriculum category dissuade you from taking
additional courses from that category!
5. Course availability during summer registration:
66
a. It is important to know that the University does everything possible to ensure that introductory-level
General Education courses will be available to students when they register this Summer, and that all
students will have the ability to register for at least 12–15 during their Summer registration window. Even
if you wish to carry a lighter load in your first semester (i.e., 12–14 hours), we strongly recommend that you
begin the Fall semester with 15–17 hours to allow flexibility if you need to drop a course.
b. It is realistic to expect limited availability in some courses. First-year students who attend Orientation
in June or July will have a chance to make adjustments to their Fall schedule beginning on August 7 at
11:00AM EDT. Some courses that were closed during your registration window may have open seats then.
Students who attend the August Make-up Orientation will have an equitable opportunity for classes
recommended for first-year students.
c. Due to limited availability, not all students will be able to enroll in ENGL 105 or LFIT in the Fall. If these
courses are not available, you may take them in the Spring term.
