E-Form 48 – ID’ing Credit

5. From your TAMU Undergraduate Course Catalog, find the section that tells you what classes you need to take to complete your degree

6. Make a list of previously obtained credit, determine which courses you will NOT have to take and notate that beside the course

7. AERS Upper-Level course credit: for most majors, AERS 303, 304, 403 & 404 count for HIST 105 OR HIST 106 PLUS POLS 206 OR POLS 207 (1 of each, 6 credits total) - Page 26 in 2013-2014 Catalog

• Include these credits in your plan. Some departments count these classes towards other electives as well.

• If you brought in both History or both POLS classes, your AERS classes could count for additional electives/Core classes – ASK YOUR ADVISOR

E-Form 48 –Planning Classes

8. Map out in your course catalog degree plan what classes you would like to take in which semester

IMPORTANT things to consider:• Some classes have prerequisites, make sure you DO NOT schedule a class

before its prerequisites• If you struggle with a subject, DO NOT load your semester with classes in

that subject• You don’t HAVE to follow the suggested plan, put your career together in a

way that is best for you• DO NOT be unrealistic…more than 15 hours in any semester could be

setting yourself up for failure• You DO NOT have to choose exact classes for upper level electives;

entering “Technical Elective” and credit is acceptable
