Applications for the Current Quarter

  • Course Finder. Find a course that interests you; many courses fulfill distribution and breadth requirements.
  • Course Application. The application deadline has passed. Please see 'Space Availble' above if you are interested in taking a seminar this quarter.
  • Edit Course Application. The application deadline has passed so applications cannot be edited at this time.
  • Check Application Status. Application status for WRITE-2 classes will be available on Friday, March 21; for most other courses it will be posted on Friday, March 28.  If your status is 'unreviewed' or is not posted on the web by the first day of class, please attend the first meetings so you will remain on the interested applicants list.
  • Enroll in Axess. Use the class number to enroll once you have been admitted. Axess enrollment is closed until the selection process concludes.  For a few classes, enrollment will be handled with permission numbers, and these will be posted with your application's status.
