When completing these double major forms, please do not list specific elective courses that you have not yet enrolled in. (The department cannot guarantee that the specific course you list will be taught in a particular quarter, or that you will be able to enroll.) Please instead note "COMM UD Elective (101-189)" or "COMM Adv Elective (120-189)".
