Course Enrollment

General Advising

  • For general advising questions, please contact your college advisors.

Repeating A Course

  • Students requiring Physics Department approval to repeat a course must first fill out the departmental permission form, which can be obtained from their Program Advisor, and then schedule an appointment with the Associate Chair in the week before the start of the semester in which they wish to repeat the class.
  • Students taking a course for the third time have lowest priority for registering for classes. Third attempt permissions are not guaranteed and are subject to a detailed examination of the circumstances that led to the earlier unsatisfactory outcomes.
