Course Waivers:
It is recommended that incoming students in this track request course waivers through their portal before beginning the program. Student who receive a waiver for Structures 2 may be able to take Structures 3 in the fall semester.

Students may register for a maximum of one independent study course each semester, with a maximum career total of two. Independent study courses will count toward elective credits.
