How many classes to choose? 

You will have a total of 7 year-long classes (2 semesters or S1 + S2 = one year) required and/ or requested courses and 3 alternate courses. You should count unscheduled periods as classes.

Alternative Classes must be chosen:  

You must request 3 alternate classes. Search for a course, click on it, and add as ‘Alternate’.  Enter your Alternate classes in priority order.  If a requested class cannot be assigned, we will try to fill your schedule with the 1st alternate class requested.
