Note:

• Students who are recommended to enroll in developmental courses in reading, writing, or mathematics should do so during their first semester. Other courses should be chosen carefully and in many cases these students should not carry a full-time load.
• Students should complete ENL101, ENL102, COM103 and any mathematics requirements within the first 30 credits since communication and quantitative skills are essential for success in many college courses.
