What to do if the class you want is full
- Please note that if you're trying to register for a math course but the section you want is closed, the individual instructors are not permitted to give overrides for math courses.
- Please register for the waitlist for a course to make your request known.

Calculator Policy
Some math courses require the purchase of a graphing calculator. The department supports the TI 83, 84, 85, and 86. Students should be aware that instructors may not be able to help them operate other calculators, and that other calculators may not contain the functions necessary to perform course work.
Some instructors may, at certain times, prohibit the use of calculators with symbolic mathematics capabilities such as the TI-89 or TI-92, even though ordinary graphing calculators are allowed. Students who purchase calculators with symbolic capabilities should be prepared to deal with these restrictions.
If you have any questions, please contact your instructor.
