My advisor gave me a plan with courses expected to be completed each semester, but I have an issue. There is only one section available for each of my classes since I am in a niche major. I chose all the expected classes and put them into my Plan Ahead, but one of them overlaps with another by like 20 minutes. How is that even possible, especially if I am expected to take it this semester?

Mind you, these are major specific classes and are only available in the fall. What if it does not work next year, do I have to stay another semester? This is my first semester here so I am still not that good at registration, but can someone please enlighten me?

It’s for the Building Construction (now Construction Science and Management) major. BC2610 overlaps with BC3600 by 25mins. (11:00-12:55, 12:30-3:15).

Huhhhhhh that is interesting. I am not affiliated with that program, but you may want to contact your advisor and ask if there is an available override - is it a studio that is not required attendance? Perhaps this a common thing for your major, but not sure why they would do that intentionally. It looks to have been scheduled like this for years.

I'm guessing you got something like this?

There is a requirement from USG that each school must show how their curriculum COULD be completed in 4 years. I would say that for most programs, that 4-year listing is not what you SHOULD do for the smoothest, most reasonable schedule. One thing my program makes that my students find much more helpful is this flowchart that helps mark what is a pre/co-req and plan future semesters. You may want to make yourself one to help find other classes you could take!

Also if you know others later in the program (or could go to some kind of professional society meeting/club and meet them) I'd bet there is a student-preferred sequencing for your classes too.
