My program uses "Fixed" Standard Timetables in that they directly state that, and I quote, "Changes and/or dropping courses are not allowed. Students must take all components of this STT."

By that token, am I required to use STT's when registering for courses? I don't want to take a full course load because I want to volunteer to EUS and participate in a student engineering team. I'm thinking of leaving off the english and elective requirements until the summer months. So probably bringing down the course load from 5 or 6 courses per term to just 3 or 4.

Also, since we cannot drop courses, does that mean we have to take F's instead of withdrawing from a course if we're getting overwhelmed? That doesn't seem right...

Any help? Thanks guys and girls!!
Formula SAE?
