Participation in organized visits to study site areas and projects sites is obligatory for all students taking certain courses in Urban Landscape Management. To the extent that is possible students will be informed of the dates, destinations and cost of field trips prior to registration. Students who have reason to seek exemption from the requirement may apply to the professor for permission to substitute papers on appropriate topics.

All electives may be chosen independently although counselling with the academic advisor is highly recommended. In selecting electives two approaches may be followed: 1) electives may be chosen from a variety of disciplines to achieve breadth of knowledge or 2) all or most electives may be chosen in a subject area in order to pursue a particular file of interest in depth. Students are cautioned to be aware of university regulations concerning the required minimum number of 3000 and 4000 level courses and that the prerequisite requirements of courses may direct them to take particular courses in preparation.
