How do I check my academic requirements?
Your Academic Requirements Report (AR Report) is a handy tool because it shows you what classes you need to take, which classes you've already taken, how your completed classes are counting towards your degree, and what classes you have in progress. Your advisor builds your academic advising sheet based on your AR report. Your AR report is an important tool for you to know how to access, so please let us know if you have any questions.

What is a class waitlist?
A student gets on the class waitlist at the time they attempt to enroll in a course that is full or has reserves by checking the “OK to Wait List” check box that will be displayed when enrolling in a class. Students should be aware that the system will automatically enroll them in a course for which they have wait listed once a seat becomes available and if they are eligible to enroll. The waitlist will stop enrolling students on the third day of the quarter.
