Summer and Fall Schedules - 2023

Course Sequencing:
http://www.nccucounseling.com/student2/index.php/advising/typical-course-offerings

Our goal is to help you move through the program at a steady rate, but it may not always be at the pace in which you thought you could go. Some classes may fill early, and you may need to adjust your schedule a bit. Some classes may be offered in a mode (online or on-campus) in which you can not take during a given semester, so you may need to adjust your plan/schedule with your advisor and take it the next time it is offered in your needed mode.

Keep in mind that any plan you develop with your advisor is always subject to change based on course availability.

Please note a few things:

The courses listed in the course sequencing documents linked above are based on offerings during the Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2019. They are only listed in this way to ASSIST with planning and advising.
There is no guarantee that the courses will be offered every year as listed. You should re-visit your plan with your advisor every semester as schedules are released and advising takes place.
Campus students should take campus courses when offered. Online students can not take on-campus courses. The sequencing of how and when courses are offered will impact how you progress through the program. You will want to pay very close attention to the sequencing. You will possibly/likely need to revise your current plan of study.
ALL summer offerings are subject to faculty availability during the summer. No summer courses are guaranteed - as no faculty are obligated to teach during the summer months.
Some classes are only offered online. Please refer to the course sequencing document linked above.

There are no on-campus courses scheduled for this summer. Students should pay very close attention to when classes are offered and any special attendance requirements that instructors may have in place. Courses listed below are also found in BANNER.
