Available Courses: Individual faculty members will need to assent to have their courses open to CAPSC participants.

Qualifications of the CAPSC participant: Faculty members will determine the background qualifications necessary for a CAPSC participant to enroll in their courses. Faculty members have sole discretion on whether to allow a particular individual to enroll as a CAPSC participant.
