Looking for Additional Classes? 
Use the “advanced search” function on Schedule Builder to search for classes by GE/Topical Breadth Credits.
You can use the drop down menu and select “Only Open Courses” to view classes that still have available spots.

Is the Class You Wanted Full?
Don’t worry—sign up for the waitlist!
Waitlists remain open through the 12th day of instruction
Keep in mind that while classes on your waitlist count toward your maximum unit load, waitlisted courses do not contribute to the 12 units required for full-time enrollment status or financial aid disbursement.
