Advisement Information
-
Depending on placement scores, advise for MAT 032 or MAT 170 in the first semester if possible.
-
Students entering fall term must take EEM 117; all other courses will work around that course. DO NOT OMIT EEM 117 for any reason. It is important that students have this basic course then, even if test scores indicate the need for MAT 032, RDG 032 and ENG 032, since it is offered only in the fall. Missing this course can result in a delay of graduation up to one year. Students starting in spring or summer will take mostly developmental and general education courses until the fall semester.
-
Students may enroll in IMT 112, IMT 131, and IMT 102 while in developmental courses.
- Tools will cost approximately $400 and are available in the campus bookstore. These are not required for the first semester; it may be the second or third semester before these are needed.
-
Note to Enrollment Advisor: please send electronic notification to Kevin Boiter indicating new advisee's name and PTC ID number.
