Academics
RegistrationLimitationsAgriculture Communications requires departmental approval before students will be accepted for placement. Contact Coordinator prior to conference for steps to petition for Ag Comm approval. Education, Clinical Psychology, Strategic Communication, Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering and some upper division engineering programs have very limited access so flexibility of class selection and enrollment is required. Areas that require studio work such as Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, and Art programs have limitations and require portfolio reviews prior to placement, when possible, and required prior to admission.
