Step 2 - Review advising resources and course schedules
Students are encouraged to use the below resources as they plan for their Fall semester courses and complete the course reservation process. These resources will help students consider appropriate course selection, college requirements, and recommended first term courses. This page will also help students locate Fall term course information online and explain how to utilize Linfield's online resources.
Linfield's Curriculum
Understanding Linfield's curriculum, general education requirements, and majors and minors is important as you begin to consider what classes to take in the fall. All students complete a set of general education requirements called the Linfield Curriculum (or LCs). The LCs are a coherent set of courses that provide you with a strong career foundation, civic engagement, and the flexibility required of today's global citizens. Many first-year students will enroll in 1-2 courses in their first term that will satisfy their LCs.
NOTE: Students must complete these requirements prior to graduation, NOT in their first year. Plan to start on these classes in your first year, but you have plenty of time to complete these requirements.
