Cross-listed courses

Cross-listing is a term associated with two distinct course numbers for a single academic activity. The activity can be defined under two topics depending on what aspect of the course content a student focuses on during their enrollment.

To this end, the student elects the path at the beginning of the course by selecting the appropriate course number. The distinction is important because it could frame your project and impact how your experience works toward completing a requirement. 

However, we do recognize that over the course of a semester, your experience may change. If this happens, you may (with approval) change the credit type (MTH, SCI, ENGR, etc) assigned to a cross-listed course. This change is alllowed up to a year after the end of the course, and is at the discretion of the faculty that offered the course.  Students can solicit approval from the instructor, and, if granted, forward that approval to the registrar’s office to make the change.  If a student disagrees with the instructor’s assessment, they can make an appeal to the ARB.
