Request Notes: Enter number of credits and name of instructor - After you are registered , you will submit a follow-up request to adjust the number of credits. (The system will set the credits = 1 as a default. The second step is necessary). If the request is submitted AFTER the first week of classes then the request will go on to the approval of instructor and advisor. (up to the end of the first week of classes the adjustment of credits will not need further approvals).
