Advisor permission required

Campus Restriction

• Courses/sections may be restricted to online or off-campus students only. If you are a Lubbock student, you are not permitted to take a course that is "campus restricted". All sections that begin with a "D" (ex. D01, D51, DC1) are online or offered only at our regional sites.
  • NOTE: TTU offers courses online for our Costa Rican campus students. Non-Costa Rican students are NOT permitted to enroll in these online sections under any circumstances. These sections appear as DC1, DC2, etc.

Class Restriction

• Students must have completed hours for classification specified. (Ex: junior/senior standing).

Level
