Planning Your Course of Study

1. Run a DARS Report for CHID.

Questions to keep in mind with this planning:

1. What CHID requirements do I still need to fulfill?
2. How many university requirements do I need to fulfill?
3. Am I interested in a double major? A double degree? If so, how many credits can count for both CHID and the other department?
4. Am I planning on doing a minor? If so, how many credits can count for both CHID and the other department?
5. Does this add up to 180 credits (or 225 if I am doing a double degree)?
6. Do I want to try to work in some General Studies 350 internship credits?
7. Do these courses help me build a relationship with a potential faculty advisor?

2. Go through the entire course catalog.

1. Look for classes that sound interesting to you.
2. Copy and paste them into a Word(tm) document.
3. Look for themes.
4. Look for faculty names and quarters offered.

3. Try to identify when the courses you want to take will be taught.

1. Did the course catalog list the quarters the class is offered?
2. Look at the Time Schedule for all of the quarters listed. Look up each class in each of the four quarters listed. There may be a pattern.
3. Look for faculty member's names. You can contact them or the departmental advisor to find out when they plan to offer the course again.

2. Or, you can search the Time Schedule for courses that fulfill general education requirements.
3. Find New Courses/Special Course Offerings.
