Topics Courses

A number of departments offer "topics" courses. A "topics" course usually is assigned a single course number (e.g., 3910), but subjects, course titles, and number of credits may change from semester to semester. Besides the usual prerequisites, there sometimes are limitations on registration for these courses. You usually may not register for the same course more than a certain number of times over a series of semesters. In the course listing, this restriction appears as part of the prerequisite information inside the parenthesis: "(max 6 cr; 6 repeats allowed)," for example, means your total registrations in the course may not exceed a maximum total of 6 credits.
