WRT 001 seats are limited for College of Business students in the first semester. Only about 20% of our students will have the opportunity to take WRT 001 in the first semester. Please review your personalized Academic Plan in DegreeWorks to review your recommended course sequencing. If you are intending to take WRT 001, please ensure you have a back up course in the event that seats are unavailable.

Non-Business Elective coursework may have limited seating and additional restrictions for College of Business students in the first few days of registration. Please make sure you are reviewing the Restrictions tab. These restrictions may change up until the start of classes to ensure students who need these courses for major progression are able to enroll in the course first.

Some 100-level courses may be petitionable to take in your first year based on your major and course capacity. Please consult with your Advisor to see if this may be a possibility for you.
