verify needed credits and coursework.

3. The pre-registration process is crucial and will be used as a means to develop schedules. Every

effort will be made to accommodate student requests; however, there is always a possibility that

electives other than those requested may be assigned. The most critical consideration for

scheduling is that requirements for graduation are being met.

4. All schedules are final. Only incomplete schedules and/or schedules with errors conflicting with

the four year plan will be reviewed for corrections. No other requests will be considered. Students

with scheduling errors should follow all specified procedures for corrections.

5. When selecting electives, students should pay close attention to prerequisite requirements.
