How to enroll into EXER 1233-001 Intro to Climbing

   During the fall semester the class has a permit restriction to offer the spots to incoming Freshmen and students who will be Sophomores in the Fall Semester because the need and success of climbing trips for Venture is depended upon students to help staff or assist.  If those spots are not taken, they will be offered to the Juniors and Seniors on a first come first serve basis.
