Special Notes:

* Engineering, Mathematics, Chemistry, Human Physiology, Nursing, Business and some social science majors will take Mathematics in their first year at Gonzaga. Most students in these fields will take the ALEKS online assessment to place them in the appropriate math course first semester. Students entering Gonzaga with math credit will not take ALEKS for math placement, and will instead be placed based on academic records and transcripts. Some students may be placed in a mathematics course first semester, while others may not. MATH 100 is considered remedial math, and is a prep course for future math requirements only. It does not meet the University Core requirement. All Mathematics courses with a course number of MATH 103 or higher do fulfill the University Math requirement.

** Required courses for Honors Program students. These courses are program specific, but are open to non-program students on a space available basis only. Priority is given to HONORS students first.

*** One-credit activity courses (MUSC, THEA, EDPE) are optional and do not count toward graduation. You may have opted into one of these in the initial registration survey. You may be able to add or drop these during the Schedule Change window.
