With the advising period well underway for the spring 2005 semester, students who have not yet are strongly encouraged to visit their advisors before scheduling classes to avoid scheduling conflicts and problems with classes that fill quickly.
It is very important to "take advantage of the advising period because it is the only way to register by Web at the earliest time," said Dean of Enrollment Management Ed Khoury. The academic advising period will last until Friday, Oct. 22.
Priority Web registration for graduates and seniors will begin at 1 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 25, followed by junior registration beginning at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 26, sophomore and freshmen scholarship recipient registration beginning at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 27 and registration for all students beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28.
All students with 59 credit hours or less must visit their advisors in order to get the registration holds removed, which will allow them to register for classes on time. The registration holds, which prohibit students from scheduling classes, encourage students to talk with their advisors prior to scheduling in order to ensure that the students are taking all the required courses for their majors.
The benefits of this system are two-fold by taking some of the responsibility off of the students and by allowing the advisors to help students set guidelines for their majors.
Khoury says that if a student is undecided about his or her major, he or she should take the core classes and investigate any potential major by taking one course of the major being considered. Undecided students are also encouraged to visit Career Services and take the career assessment test.
All students, undecided or not, are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities in their field of study, such as internships and on-campus jobs. Khoury suggests that one considering mass communication as a major should get a job at the Log or The Contraband in order to gain experience and to find out if he or she enjoys the work. He points out that sitting in the classes of a particular concentration is very different from actually working in that field every day.
