Understanding your Academic Inquiry Seminar placeholder

On Monday, July 6, an Academic Inquiry Seminar (AIQS) placeholder was added to your SIS schedule. Before registration on Tuesday, July 21, review your placeholder to help plan your fall semester. All placeholders will be automatically removed after the first week of classes.

    • During registration, choose from AIQS 100 (Topical) or AIQS 130 (Community-Engaged).
