It’s that time of year — registration. It’s a harrowing process that usually results in an unhealthy fear of blue squares. Here’s some advice from one student to another:
- Have a backup plan ready. Actually, have multiple backup plans. If you’re counting on a select few classes being open when you enroll, you might be unpleasantly surprised if one or more of them fills up before you can get in.
- Choose a variety of classes. Thanks to GERs, you can learn about a wide range of things and still be progressing on your path to a degree. Taking only math and science classes, for example, could make for a boring or stressful semester.
- Add/Drop/Swap is possibly the best thing to happen since the internet itself was created. Check Opus at strange times to snag those green circles. With some work and a lot of luck, you can usually get a pretty good schedule, if not a perfect one.
- Talk to people and get advice, whether it’s your faculty advisor or your roommate. It’s good to know about what’s going on.
