Many of you are familiar with CPOS, Course Program of Study handled by the Financial Aid office that effectively says students must be registered only for courses in their degree program. Students are flagged when they take courses outside their degree program. This notification goes to Cody Clinton and me. We either approve or deny the course according to a few parameters listed below.

Action item: Please put the list of classes and a CPOS note in UMDegree for any student taking an elective course and the reason for taking the course.

Examples:

• CPOS – need (COMM 3361) for upper division elective
• CPOS – (course) is a prerequisite for a required course
• CPOS – (course) is required preparatory coursework for admission into Grad/Prof program
