UX Students: A note about restricted classes
Please pay careful attention to the fall UX courses that are restricted to P-Tech students attending Navarro High School.

Graphic Design Students: Do NOT register for Visual Design
Graphic Design students who are eligible should take ARTC 1379: Design for Screens. This class teaches students about designing for websites, and digital media.
