Undergraduate Course Calendar
I'm going into my fourth year, and I picked my classes a few weeks ago, using the Undergraduate Calendar for 2010/2011. However, I was just looking through the calendar for 2007/2008 (my first year) and I noticed that there's been a change in the required courses and number of units for fourth year between the 07/08 one and the 10/11 one.

I'm a little confused as to which calendar I should be following... is the 10/11 one only for students starting this year?

Any advice, anyone?

Check your own Degree Audit and you'll know what courses are required for you.

It should be the 2010/2011 one. If there's a discrepancy between that calendar and your degree audit (which is what happened for me) email someone in your department to clarify. Usually the calendar will say something like "for students starting in xxxx year, follow these requirements, but for students starting after yyyy year, follow these requirements". If there's nothing like that, it can't hurt to email someone in the dept and ask.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

The actual courses I have to take are the same, its just a question of whether I take them this year or next (I'm in a five year program), and I don't want to run the risk of scheduling problems if I take them in the wrong year.

I think I'll just go talk to my academic advisor
