Did that register?

Greetings fellow transfer hopefuls!

As you may know from our crimson summer catalog,  Monday May 16th was the first day to register for classes online if you are a currently enrolled student.

As I imagine all of you are!

Anyhow this seemingly straight forward date may seem like the date every currently enrolled student may register online for summer (And fall! More on that later. I promise.) quarter however  I'm here to let you in on the non-implicit meaning.

On tis last monday some students could have enrolled for summer. All students are given an " appointment time" for registering online that requires no actual appointment.

However you cannot register until that appointment time has come and gone.  So although you may read that you can register by a certain date, it is always a good idea to go over to registration and ask them when your appointment time is.

Registering online works very similarly to checking your progress, which I made a tutorial for last week.  You will notice a theme with the SID/PIN combo in signing in for any of the useful tools in Student Online Services.

There is a pecking order for who gets to pick their classes first.  Who is higher up on the totem pole? Students closest to graduation.  They get first choice because that enables them to complete their degree in a timely, timely manner.

One note my advisors over at TriO let me know that summer quarter is short. Only seven weeks, and other summer quarter veterans let me know that if you're planning on taking a math or a science it would be a good idea to just take that one if you have any difficulty in those fields.

If you have any requests for topics, please let me know!
