are not normally eligible to enroll in 400-level courses.

Course InformationThe number in parentheses following the name of

the course indicates the number of credit hours givenfor successfully completing the course. It also reflectsthe section type; for example, (Lect 3.0) designates alecture course of three hours credit; (Lab 1.0) desig-nates a laboratory course of one-hour credit. A lecturecredit hour is usually the credit granted for satisfactori-ly passing a course of approximately 15 classroomhours. A laboratory course of one-hour credit would nor-mally meet three classroom hours per week for 15weeks.

Three credit hour courses normally meet 50 min-utes three times per week, or 75 minutes twice a week,for 15 weeks. The time in class is the same in each case.If you have two classes in succession, there should beat least 10 minutes between classes. Classes meetingMonday-Wednesday-Friday will normally begin on thehour. Classes meeting Tuesday-Thursday will normallyalternate between the hour and half hour, beginning at8:00 a.m. In addition, there is an Academic Free hour12:00-1:00 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Students must have completed the stated prere-quisite(s) for the course for admission to the course orobtain the ‘Consent of the Instructor’ of the course.
