Your course plan abroad may include Required and Optional courses.

Required courses will be added to your registration for you. 

Optional courses will be considered following submission of the Course Preference Forms and in combination with the main campus department. 

It is possible that you may be placed in the alternative course based on the needs of the cohort as a whole. If this occurs, you may have the option of adjusting your schedule based on seat availability once you are abroad, but not prior to online registration.
