9.  You have a chance to audit the classes. If you select a course and see available audit seats, it means you may audit the current class. If you cannot register for audit it means this course is not available for audit.

10.  Every student should check a prerequisite for each class.  Prerequisites are classes you need to take before you can move on to another class. Often it is a move to more advanced class. For example, you cannot take FYS 216, if you have not taken FYS 101.  The other example: psychology 101 needs to be taken before psychology 250.

11.  Please remember, if you took psychology 101 and failed it, it means you did not pass the prerequisite requirement and you cannot take more advance course like psychology 250.
