How to register?

Registration will take place on June 2. The Office of the Registrar will enroll students in their summer courses. Students need to consult with their advisors about their summer schedule  

What will my summer schedule look like?
  • Students taking Physics I will enroll in APPH 1040 and GT 1000 
  • Students taking Math 1553 will enroll in GT 1000 and a (3) credit core course  
Will we attend a FASET (orientation)?

Because students will be pre-enrolled, there will not be a need to attend FASET to register for summer courses. 

Is it possible to enroll in both courses for the 7-week?

No, it is not advisable for students to enroll in both courses due to the pace and workload of the classes over the summer term.  

What are the pre-requisites for each class?

PHYS 2211 –  

AP/ DE/ IB credit for MATH 1551 AND MATH 1552

MATH 1553-

Math SAT Section Score (new SAT) of 620 or ACT 26 or ACT equivalent 600 or MATH 1113 Precalculus or 15X2 or 1X52 or MATH 1552 Integral Calculus.
