What is going on in the Department of Communication

Getting ready for Spring 2008 already?

October 3, 2007 by Kelly Wood

Spring 2008 registration begins soon

Yep, it’s that time again, pre-registration for the spring 2008 semester begins in November.  The schedule is already posted on the website, including your registration date and time.  If you are new to this process, here are some tips and for those veterans out there, this is a refresher Smile

1. Make an appointment to meet with your major advisor NOW. The earlier you meet, the more likely you’ll have your schedule ready to go WELL in advance of your date of registration.  Also, if you need any paperwork or signatures, the earlier you get those submitted the better. If you aren’t sure who your advisor is, go to the MY INFORMATION on the university webpage, and click under Advising Notes or Advising Folder. The person’s name is hotlinked to their email address, so click it and send an email requesting a meeting. If no advisor name appears than you should call Karen in the department office at 836.4423.

2. Don’t always expect your advisor to tell you want to take in terms of classes. Be proactive and develop a trial schedule (a short list of courses you think you want to take). That will really impress your advisor. There are four year plans for each major in the department on our webpage so you can consult those for help.

3. Check on pre-requisites and need for permission. There is an online permissions form that you can submit in advance of registering for a class. Get those permissions completed before you register as well.

4. Pay attention to sequencing of courses. Some classes are only offered in the fall and others in the spring. Some classes are only offered on demand and not offered every semester.

5. If you need a signature for a waiver to register, or admission the major, plan on a 24 hour turn around time in our office.  During this time of the semester I get a lot of requests for signatures. I take time to review each request individually. So, turn in your paperwork to Karen in Craig 375 and come back the next day about the same time.

6.  In sum, get this work done at least a week before your registration day. Be prepared for anything.
