Schedule Planning and YOUR Program of Study

1 Pull out your trusty BC Catalog. [And get one if you don't have one, NOW!] Find your Program of Study in the back of the catalog. Put a paper clip there because this will guide your attendance at BC (the same holds true for any college attended).

Now the good part, you can take ANY course listed on your Program of Study page -- that's right, ANY COURSE. Now isn't that cool compared to the high school days. BUT there's one catch, you can't take courses that have "PREREQUISITE requirements." Well, you ask, how is one to know if a course has prerequisite requirements. You look in the back of the catalog under the course listings. If a course has a prerequisite, it will be listed directly below the course title. Example: You CAN'T take ENGL 1102 until you've had completed ENGL 1101. You CAN'T take HUMN 2001 until you've had completed ENGL 1102.

A quick and easy way to know if a course has a prerequisite is by looking at the Semester Schedule of Classes. An asterisk (*) will be listed prior to each course with a prerequisite.
