How to Register for Topics Courses
Choose three courses from the list and rank them in order of preference: one being your first choice, two your second choice, three your third choice. Be sure to include the sequence and key number.
When you register using an online website or when you see your advisor during Summer Orientation, give her/him your list (with key numbers), and your advisor can tell you if there is a space for you, and if it fits your schedule. (If you are sending your course choices in using an online advising website, there is no need for you to send key numbers.) Either as part of your online advising or during summer orientation, your advisor can then register you in the course.
Do not drop the writing course that you have been placed in and try to register yourself. If the course that you want is full, you may not be able to get back into your original writing course on the particular sequence. See your advisor for help.
