Courses by Semester
It can be surprisingly difficult to ascertain exactly which courses are being offered in the future! This is due to changes in budget, personnel changes, and last-minute cancellations. That said, it's beyond the scope of my powers to keep up with all of those details.

However, there are some tools that can help you predict the future.

First, you should check OASIS. It is the most reliable listing of courses that have been planned one to two semesters in advance. Remember that course listings are available months before registration begins.

Here are some other tools:
SLM Advising Notes for the current registration season

What if I don't fit into a Cohort? or What if I get "off-track"?
We consider our Cohort Plan a flexible one. From time to time, students need to work at a different pace than the cohort plan - perhaps one course at a time, or even full time study. Often, students need to "rest" a semester or two for a variety of reasons.

If you choose to depart from the cohort plan, you have many colleagues in the same situation. It becomes very important for you to work closely with your advisor to plan your program of study. You will need to work a little harder at this than the typical Cohort student. However, it can be done successfully if you are proactive and careful.

Two steps:

Study the patterns and course listings provided in these pages. They will help you predict availability of a course.
As soon as possible, establish a Program of Study (POS) in partnership with your advisor. Once approved, this POS protects you from uncertainty. It becomes an agreement between you, us, and the Graduate School. It sets down on paper the exact requirements for your graduation.
