When registering for classes students need to carefully select the classes they are interested in taking. Occasionally there are problems in a particular class that necessitate a class change. Class changes are permitted through the first five days of a semester depending on class availability.

Any class change occurring after the first five days of a semester may jeopardize the grade and credit of the class.
