  2. Compare the needed courses to when they are offered on your 2-Year Course Rotations (see next tab).

Here at Fitchburg State we try to follow the course rotations but in some cases we add and/or remove courses on the schedule. Please check the Course Schedule to ensure the course you need is running.

Here's how to add yourself to the waitlist:
