2. 2 Advisor first, every semester

3. 3 A minor can cover 9 gen ed credits

   In the General Education Foundations, "students will choose a minimum of three courses (9 credits) to fulfill foundation area F8, the Focus." One of the four ways to meet it is "completion of a minor". If you are thinking about a minor, tell your advisor early so it counts as your Focus.

4. 4 Drop one co-requisite, lose them both

   "If a student is enrolled in two co-requisite courses (courses that must be taken and completed simultaneously) and withdraws from one of those courses, the student will be automatically withdrawn from the other co-requisite course as well." Before you drop a lecture or lab that is paired, check what losing both does to your schedule.
