u/uwsadbois: “I can’t really help answer you question as to why it’s saying that you’ve taken the class before but I would just like to clarify that LS206/PSCI260 is not 2 classes. It’s one class that is cross-listed to fulfill both major requirements. …”

u/Odd-Platform-3970: “So would it be okay if I take out the LS 206 and keep the PSCI 260 because it doesn’t show any error message?”
