Students may also receivesemester displays (Program Plans) from the Office of Admissions and Counseling. These semester displays indicate thesuggested semester sequence of courses. Since many students have outside responsibilities, such as a family or work,students may take longer to finish their chosen program of study. However, students should pay close attention to thesemester displays, because sometimes one course is a prerequisite for another course; that is, you must satisfactorilycomplete a certain course before you are allowed to enroll in the next course in the sequence. Students should discusscourse sequencing with a College advisor or counselor.Frequency of Course OfferingsMost courses listed in this Catalog are offered at least one semester a year. Some courses are offered every semester, butmany are available only in the semester listed in semester displays. The semester displays show the scheduled semestercourses should be offered; however, sometimes courses are cancelled because of low enrollment. Students areencouraged to enroll in courses in the recommended sequence in order to graduate in a timely manner.Developmental CoursesAll programs of study require that all developmental courses must be completed prior to graduation. Thesedevelopmental courses may or may not be prerequisites to courses required in the program. Developmental courses aredetermined by placement tests taken at the time of admission into the College. The developmental courses are MAT031, MAT 032, RDG 032, and ENG 032. These courses do not count for credit in any program of study. 35
