During the registration period, students may register for courses depending on certain factors —some are open based on class year, others on declared concentration.

After the Registration period, instructor permission is needed to gain entry/access to the waitlist. No one will receive such permission until lotteries are run on the first day of the semester — for spring 2025, lotteries will take place on Wed., 22 January.

Literary Arts offers a mixture of workshops, seminars and hybrid workshop/seminar courses each semester, many of which are special topics (and are subject to change from one semester to the next).
