<p>Any one know if Tufts has released a course catalog for 09-10 yet and where to find it? I read in one of the blogs that course selection is coming up for the current students, and I'm super excited to start looking through and seeing what interesting classes they have available for next year.
Thanks!</p>
<p>They just released the paper copy today, which is obnoxious considering engineers register on Monday. For non-print, you might just have to look at each department’s page to see what courses they’re offering next semester.
They really should have the catalog available as a pdf… I’ll see if i can find it</p>
<p>EDIT:
there’s this: <a href=“Tufts User Authentication - Stale Request”>Tufts User Authentication - Stale Request;
but they should have a pdf of the actual catalog</p>
<p>you can also check out ase.tufts.edu/bulletin</p>
<p>as well as the ExCollege website: <a href=“http://www.excollege.tufts.edu/coursesCurrent.asp[/url]”>http://www.excollege.tufts.edu/coursesCurrent.asp</a></p>
<p>I have such a crappy registration time… :/</p>
<p>Anyone know where/who I can ask to get a paper catalog shipped to me?</p>
<p>kjcastillo, what do you mean crappy registration time? How does registration work?</p>
<p>Depending on which school you’re in and what year you are, you’re assigned a registration date and time. Engineers always register first, in order of class (seniors, then juniors, etc) and generally each class shares a single registration time (eg. I think sophomores register at 10:15 Monday and freshmen engineers register at 10:45).
If you’re in the school of arts and sciences, you are randomly assigned a registration time on a specific day, but still it is in order of class.
When it’s your registration time, that means you can log on to SIS and register for classes.</p>
<p>As the parent of a Tufts grad, I would urge incoming freshmen to spend time planning your schedule. As explained, you will have a low priority for class registration and may very well get closed out of your top choices. It is imperative that you have backups planned (that do not all meet during the same time slot). It can be a bit of a frenzy. Also, and most importantly if you hope to graduate in four years, make sure you understand the distribution requirements as well as those for your intended major. At least when DS enrolled, Tufts had more requirements than any other school to which he had applied, and it took some careful mapping out to make sure he could complete everything in four years. Make sure to take note of those courses which are only offered in the fall or the spring. If such a course is the prerequisite for a required course, you could be delayed a full year if you don’t take it when you ought.</p>
<p>ljean, to add to hebrewhammer’s post, registration times for students in the school of arts and sciences start from 8(ish) in the morning til 4:45pm. Engineers get to pick before the A&S students. For A&S, Rising seniors go first. The next day, Rising Juniors go, and finally the Rising Sophomores get to register. My registration time is at 2:45pm, meaning there are a LOT of people who get to choose classes before me, so I’m probably going to get waitlisted in some of the classes I want to get into. </p>
<p>Oh yea, and first years register for their classes during orientation. The whole class registration process can be pretty overwhelming, but with the help of your advisor/orientation leaders, it should run smoothly.</p>
