year of studies. Student can have up to 33 credits (3

course and see available audit seats, it means you may
audit the current class. If you can’t register for audit it



Every student should check a prerequisite for each class.
Prerequisites are classes you need to take before you can
move on to another class. Often it is a move to more
advanced class. For example, you cannot take FYS 216, if
you have not taken FYS 100.
The other example: psychology 101 needs to be taken
before psychology 250.

Please remember, if you took psychology 101 and failed it,
it means you did not pass the prerequisite requirement and
you cannot take more advanced course like psychology
250.

The grade and 6 credits will be removed from the student’s
transcript and the student will not be allowed to take an
overload of 6 credits in a subsequent semester unless
he/she pays for that overload.
