Resurgambell:

My concern is rooted in my hearing that there are budget problems this year in CAS. On the New Students Page for ILR students coming in posted on June 9, it says freshman can register for ONE elective either free elective or one Western intellectual tradition or science, in mid July. Why wouldn’t you register for 2 electives because adding only ONE would only add up to 13 credits total. This doesn’t make sense because 1/2 freshman take OB first semester, the other half take Labor history second semester:


First Semester:

OB or Labor history= 3 credits

ILR 1500= 1 credit

Fresh. Writing seminars= 3 credits

Micro Econ= 3 credits

One Elective=3 credits

Phys. ed= no credit

This adds up to only 13 credits?

You should be allowed to take 2 electives each semester as a freshman to make it at 16 credits, right?
