SignUp for CFD 375-376: We will no longer have the preliminary signup for CFD375/376L as we have had in past semesters.

Please be aware, you will still be required to present proof of completion of the prerequisites for your major. Therefore, please be prepared to have these with you the first day of class. Failure to produce proof of completion of the prequisites will result in your being asked to drop this course.
