What is a regular/irregular section?

  • If you are taking the course Math 117 for the first time, you can not change your section. There is only one section (determined by your department and your surname) you can register. These sections are called  regular. Moreover, students in this category are said to be regular students.
  • If you are repeating (independent of your grade) the course Math 117/118 or you are at least 2nd-year student, besides the section uniquely determined by your department and your surname, you may also register to a number of alternative sections, which are called irregular sectionsas long as there is a space available. Similarly, students in this category are also called irregular.
