Semester and Time of Course Offering

Courses are typically offered during the same semester (spring, summer, or fall) each year. Rarely are changes made to the semester in which the course is offered. The day(s) and time of day when the course is taught is often the same from year to year. You can use this information to make sure you do not have any time conflicts with the courses you want to take by looking the previous and/or future days and times the courses are offered.

Advising

Students should meet with their academic advisor minimally each semester to discuss professional goals and classes for the upcoming semester. Contact Meghan Sindelar for the Agronomy major, Anne Streich for the Plant and Landscape Systems major, and Cheryl Dunn or Christian Elowsky for the Plant Biology major.
