SCHEDULING TIPS



 You must be enrolled in 12 units to be considered a full-time student. o Sample schedule unit combinations: 14 units

Three 4-unit classes + one 2-unit class

15 units

Three 5-unit classes

16 units

Four 4-unit classes

17 units

Three 4-unit classes + one 5-unit class

 Check prerequisites and verify that courses meet requirements before enrolling in classes.  Plan to take a variety of courses in both the university core, business core and your major each quarter. As a freshman or sophomore you will rarely be enrolled in more than two business courses.  If a class you want to enroll in is full during the registration period. o Make sure you enroll in a full schedule during your registration appointment. Don’t assume you’ll be able to fill your schedule during the first week of classes.  If you make a successful bid to enroll in a class that was full, you can swap classes during the first week of classes. o For courses offered in the business school - - If you are trying to add a full class that is offered in ACTG, ECON, FNCE, MGMT, MKTG, or OMIS.  Attend the first class session.  Do not contact the professor or the department admin.  Sign up on a Course Enrollment Request form.  Spaces will be assigned by criteria agreed upon by the department and UGBP.  Primarily, graduation petition status, number of units completed, and/or major  You will be notified about the status of your request prior to the 2nd class meeting. o For information about adding full classes offered by departments in A&S or Engineering, contact the individual departments.

 Don’t panic – you won’t fall behind the expected four-year graduation just because you can’t get into a class that is full. If you think you might, visit an LSB Peer Advisor who can show you how to complete a 4-year course plan. Once you have a course plan, you’ll usually find you have more time than you think to complete a particular course.
