Spring 2006 Class Schedule

New undergraduate students who do not pass the Entry-Level Mathematics (ELM) exam and/or the English Placement Test (EPT) are required to enroll in the appropriate remediation course(s) in Rhetoric and Writing Studies and/or General Mathematics Studies before registering for any other courses.
All freshmen must register for the four foundational General Education courses in Composition, Critical Thinking, Oral Communication, and Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning during their first year at SDSU. The registration system will enforce enrollment in these courses before allowing you to enroll in any other courses for the semester. This enforcement of classes will happen every semester until you have successfully completed all four courses. Freshmen whose scores on the ELM and EPT are below passing must enroll in any remedial coursework, as well. You will be advised about enrollment in foundational courses, as well as other courses, at New Student Orientation.

Prerequisite Enforcement

Students must satisfy course prerequisites listed in the current General Catalog (or their equivalent) prior to beginning a course.

Prerequisites to courses may be enforced (1) by the computer at registration; (2) by the department; and/or (3) by the faculty member teaching the class.

Students with questions on course prerequisites should consult the General Catalog or the appropriate department chair. Students registering for business administration classes should check with the Business Advising Center (BA-448) or the Marketing Department Office (SS-3229) for information concerning enrollment procedures and deadlines.

Computer-Enforced Prerequisites: The registration system will check for the satisfactory completion of the following tests and requirements: EPT (English Placement Test); ELM (Entry-Level Mathematics Examination); GSP (Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation Test); and WPA (Writing Proficiency Assessment) requirement. Completion of these prerequisite tests (or exemptions verified with the Office of the Registrar) is necessary for you to receive any of the courses for which they are a prerequisite. See the Office of Student Testing, Assessment and Research for methods of satisfying writing and mathematics competency requirements.

The registration system will also check for the appropriate major code for those classes with major codes specified in the footnotes.

Courses with computer-enforced prerequisites are identified by a Y footnote in the class listing.

Department-Enforced Prerequisites: Many departments routinely enforce prerequisites listed in the current General Catalog. Students enrolled in these courses should bring proof of completion of prerequisites with them to the first day of class. If you need to verify a course taken at another college or university, you should obtain an official transcript from your previous school.

Courses with proof of prerequisite required are identified by an S footnote in the class listing.

Faculty-Enforced Prerequisites: Faculty members have the authority to enforce prerequisites listed in the current General Catalog, to evaluate equivalent preparation, and to require proof that such prerequisites/preparation have been completed. During the first 12 days of classes, faculty may drop students who do not have the prerequisites or equivalent preparation for the course.

Faculty-Initiated Drop for Non-Attendance

Within the first 12 class days of the semester, a faculty member may drop students who fail to attend the first class session and are not in class at the very beginning of the second class session. Any student dropped by the instructor during this period will be notified of the action by e- mail. To reenroll, a student must receive an add code from the instructor and reenroll in the course within the first 15 class days of the semester.

Not all instructors will drop students who miss the first class session and the beginning of the second class session. Students are responsible for making sure the correct courses are on their schedules by the fifteenth day of the semester. If they do not properly drop a course, they will receive a "WU" (withdrawal unauthorized), which counts as an “F” in their Grade Point Average.
