Enrolling in Classes

Before you meet with your advisor, you should pick look over the course offerings on TruView for the next semester.   Instructions on how to enroll for classes will be included on TruView.  You should meet with your advisor at least 1-2 weeks before your personal registration date. You will need to bring a list of courses that you think you should enroll in next semester, along with several alternatives. Prior to the meeting, make sure you check prerequisites, restrictions, and any special enrollment procedures. It is your responsibility to find the days, times, and semesters each course is offered and obtain any necessary course overrides. Your advisor will confirm your selection of courses and provide you a registration access code (RAC).

Certain classes in the degree may require a “course override” to enroll. This means you will have to obtain special permission to enroll in the class.  Check this web page as you prepare your class selection, and be on the look out for e-mails from the HES office.

The HES Program has created a general recommended 4-Year Sequence for the Athletic Training major, the  Exercise Science major, and the Health Science major. While this document should help guide you in the sequencing of your classes, keep in mind that it is “utopian”. The availability of classes will most likely not allow you to enroll in classes in the exact order as they appear on the sequence. What is important is that you are familiar with the prerequisites, restrictions, and fall/spring/summer only offerings, so that you can plan your own schedule accordingly. Also available are specialized sequences for the ES Pre-Medicine, HS Pre-Medical Sciences, and Physical Education/Health/Coaching patterns. These patterns require some courses to be taken in a more specific order than the general sequence.

If, after you register for classes, you need to add or drop a course, pay special attention to the “free add/drop” dates. If you must add or drop classes after these dates, a $50 fee is charged. Many divisions also have special “add” policies. ES and HLTH full semester courses must be added within the first two weeks of the semester; block courses within one week.
