Academic questions, such as the fit of specific courses into degree-program requirements, should be referred to the relevant academic department for the degree at CSUN or at the student's home campus if other than CSUN.
Students should seek counsel before registering for courses. Realizing that the wrong course has been selected after the first week of course meetings will not be considered grounds for withdrawals or refunds.
If you are unsure about your qualifications, seek academic advisement through the Advising Resource Center (ARC) or with the major department that offers the course.
