About picking classes

<p>How does picking your classes for college work? Is it like a big seminar where you walk around and sign up? Also, do you get to choose all the teachers you want to have(unlike in HS)?</p>

<p>picking classes is a lot like picking your ass when you get done it stinks</p>

<p>lmao madmanmatty so true.</p>

<p>It's such a pain to create a decent schedule in college. Especially later on when you don't have many options to choose from left.</p>

<p>We've always done registration online.</p>

<p>It varies a bit, but generally it's done online.</p>

<p>For first semester we met with our advisors and they helped us do it. Second semester we did it online (though we could still meet with our advisors for advice)</p>

<p>For me being an engineering major I have to meet with an advisor every single semester until I graduate before I am allowed to schedule my classes...
It is done online and since I am a freshman everybody goes on at once and its slow and you have to hope to god that you get the courses you want :)</p>

<p>it's all about copy and paste.</p>

<p>Students can meet with thier advisors if they need to.
They do that about 1 week before if possible.
They schedule classes online .
This is Spring 2006 Regtrations dates at my dd university.</p>

<p>Students can choose professor and section for classes
where avaible.</p>

<p>we have a registration guide online & in print in the bookstore. You look up classes by subject & class number and then see which times the class is offered & pick the one you want to take (if more than one time is offered).. then next to that is a CRN number which you use to register for your classes online during your "pass time" (which is assigned to you based on how many units you've complete.. the more the sooner it is. We have an online web portal that has our school email, storage space for documents, class info - documents profs. post online for students, and when you're pass time is coming up it'll show you in the portal also)</p>

<p>We are required to meet with our advisor and have them approve all of our classes before we recieve our password to do it online. We're allowed to chose whatever section we want and most people go back and change it anyway. I guess some people hate meeting with their advisor, but I don't mind since I have so many required courses in the little bit of time I have.</p>

<p>Ours is all online. Registration starts at 8:00 am on four different days, one for each class. Seniors start Monday, and by 8:02, 3/4 of the class is registered. The enrollment numbers are posted at 3:00 every day, so that you can get a picture of what classes you'll need to find backups for.</p>

<p>We do all of ours online. This year my timeslot was on saturday 9 am to 1 pm. We dont bother with printed course packets either. There's a website from my school with the official listings of courses and you just use that. Each course has a 5 digit unique id. When it's registration time you type/copy and paste that 5 digit unique id and tell it to add the course. Someone though is marketing a program at my school that will automatically register for you (I dont know how great it works)</p>

<p>At my school it's a retarded ass process. Make an apointment, wait two weeks, try to find the place (since they don't tell you where it's at) and then listen to an advisor ***** non-since. Then you're left with one missed up schedule, and wishing that you would have taken different classes the semester before.</p>

<p>I'm currently registered for Intro to African-American Studies, Part I as a major requirement for African American Studies. However, there is a 300-level history course called Problems of Poverty in Anglo-American Culture that I so want to take, but it conflicts with the Intro class. Intro to AfAm meets MW from 2-3:20pm. Problems of Poverty runs only on W from 1:00pm-3:00pm on the same day. </p>

<p>If I drop the Intro to AAS class, I risk not finishing the major (I'm a junior). I already need to take Intro to African-American Literature as well next year. Yet, the Poverty class meets my concentration requirement. What should I do?!?!</p>

<p>at my school, registration is done online by social class (not credits), and it was this past week. 8am Monday for Seniors, 8am Tuesday for Juniors, 8am Thursday for Sophs, and 8am Friday for Freshmen.</p>

<p>System always goes way slow. Sometimes you can get done quickly, and sometimes it will hang on you. Someone posted the usage graph for a 24 hour period in my school's LJ communityfor the site that we use to register, and it spikes from like 10 people at 7:50 to 1500 people at 8:00-8:05</p>

<p>At my school Freshmen have to get a PIN from their advisor (works like a password), but everyone else doesn't.</p>
