Tips for Exploring Courses

• Some courses have pre-requisites, or other courses that are required to be taken prior to taking the course. If you are wanting to take the course for-credit, the academic department who will be approving your registration may want to see that you have satisfied the necessary pre-requisites.
• Keep in mind that enrollment is not guaranteed.
• Options may vary by semester. When searching for the course you want to take as a visiting student, make sure to filter for the correct semester to see if the course is being offered.

Questions about courses?

If you have questions about the content of a particular course, or which course you should apply for based on your qualifications, you should reach out to the coordinator for the academic department you are interested in taking a course through. To request a syllabus for a course, we encourage you to contact the instructor or the academic department.
