Students not in the Department cannot pre-register for HESC classes, nor can they get HESC classes via the web. They can, however, pick up 100- and 200-level classes through the pink slip drop/add process at the beginning of each semester, if space is available. This means going to the class IN PERSON and asking permission from the instructor to be admitted. You must have a filled out pink slip in hand! It is suggested that non-majors obtain a curriculum check sheet (available in the display outside room 027 Carpenter Sports Building ) to determine what 100 and 200 level classes are offered within each major. Non-majors are not permitted in 300 and 400 level HESC classes. This policy DOES NOT apply to NTDT courses.
