¹ Courses will be added or cancelled based on sufficient course demand, as established by the Office of Academic Affairs. Students are responsible for knowing our course rotation, which goes into effect in Fall of 2022. The rotation is subject to update each academic year, after a reassessment of course demand during each Fall semester, and will be implemented at the beginning of the next academic year. Summer Courses are particularly based on course demand.

² Workshop Courses are changing numeric designations as specializing content in Fall 2024. Students can enroll in COM 404, COM 405, and COM 406 through the summer 24 term. Beginning in Fall 2024, students will be advised to take a section of workshop from one of the six specializations in COM 360, COM 361, COM 362, COM 363, COM 364, or COM 365. Please see catalog description for any notable restrictions associated with each course.

³ In compliance with ACEJMC accreditation, we production lab courses are capped at an enrollment of 20. Students will not be overloaded into 20-cap courses, but are welcome to indicate interest to permit departmental review to gauge need for additional sections. Our PR/AD Capstone is also hard-capped at 25, in compliance with ACEJMC standards. Overload requests in our survey and principles courses remain at the discretion of the instructor and requires the authorization of the Department Head. It is the responsibility of our students to seek advisement early and register promptly.

⁴ COM 306, 307, 308 and 310 will be taught in a rotational offering each academic year. COM 310 will be specifically offered during the fall of election years, both mid-term and presidential, to maximize on teaching examples during the term. For COM 306, 307, and 308, availability to rotate in non-election years in the fall, as well as in rotation each spring and summer based on demand. As elective courses, students are not required to take these for major completion.
