NOTICE for 2010/2011 Returning Students,

Changes in graduation requirements (airt 42)

Beginning Fall 2011 the course AIRT 42 (Air Traffic Control Environment) has been split into two courses - AIRT 42A and
AIRT 42B. This is a significant improvement in the curriculum but the change will affect current students in the program in the following way...

1. New students must take both AIRT 42A and AIRT 42B in order to graduate
2. Students who started before Fall 2011 have a choice of how to meet the graduation requirements:
   • If you've taken the old course, AIRT 42, and you are claiming the older catalog rights then you are good to go...
     do not take AIRT 42A or AIRT 42B
   • If you have not taken AIRT 42 then you can choose EITHER AIRT 42A or AIRT 42B
     • Upon completion of one of those two classes you then sign a Variance Form with the Aeronautics Department (see Robert Rogus, Dept Co-Chair)

Note: see the new recommended sequence of courses on the links on the right...
