- Approval of Adviser — Where noted, a student must receive an adviser’s approval before registering for such an elective, e.g., Elective – approval of adviser
- Area Electives — To bring balance into students’ areas of study and provide breadth, some programs require students to choose electives within a specified area, e.g., Elective – social sciences
No more than three credits of physical activity courses may be used as electives toward graduation. Some programs (e.g., Science and Premedical Professional) may not allow physical activity courses to be used as adviser-approved electives.
