How do I plan my Class Schedule?

The Advising Worksheet provides you with everything you need to know about your class schedule. All the courses that are required for your program are listed on the advising worksheet. The MSIT program is a lock step program where students are put into a cohort based upon their concentration. Students in both concentrations will have the same schedule for their first semester. The Mihaylo College of Business & Economics has already tentatively planned each cohort’s schedule.

Prerequisites for Classes

The term prerequisite is defined as: A successful completion of a course or courses prior to enrolling and taking a class. All prerequisites must be completed for each course listed prior to enrolling.

Course prerequisites are listed in the University Online Catalog. It is your responsibility to check the prerequisites for each course prior to enrolling. If you enroll in a 500 level course and are missing prerequisites you may be dropped from the course. Your Graduate Programs Advisor and the New Admit Advisor are unable to provide you with approval to enroll in a course in which you are missing the prerequisite.
