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 such 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 withdrawal or refund.
If you are unsure about your qualifications, seek academic advisement through the Advisement Resource Center (ARC), or with the department that offers the major and the course.
