DID YOU KNOW?
If you are a weekend student and want to take an evening elective or an evening student wanting to take a weekend elective, you can use the add/drop period to do this. The advantage is that you don’t have to “declare” or “undeclared” yourself. However, be forewarned that popular classes will still be hard to get into.
