How do I register for special approval courses?

Special Approval Courses

During registration, our WS prefix courses have a "special approval" attached to the course requiring the student to contact the WS office to be advised. WS prefix courses requiring a special approval are called "cross-listed" courses. This means that other departments already offer the same course, with the same instructor, on the same day and time with a different Course Number (CRN). The WS prefix for these courses are for students interested in Minoring in Women's Studies.

Advising students of the special approval process helps confirm if the student is interested in being a minor in our program or if they are only registering for a WS prefix course because the cross-listed class is full. In the past, WS prefix courses would become full of non-minor's while our minor's were left with minimal WS prefix course options to complete the minor.

If you are currently a Minor in Women's Studies and you wish to register for a course with the special approval, you should contact the undergraduate advisor with the course information and your R # so that you can be approved to register for the course(s).

If you are interested in becoming a minor you should contact the undergraduate advisor ASAP.

For more information about special approval courses contact the WS Undergraduate Advisor, Tricia Earl, by phone or email patricia.a.earl@ttu.edu

Listed here are all the cross-listed classes associated with the program. Women’s Studies cannot offer these courses without confirmation from the home department.
