Top Five Registration Blunders Their Fixes

• Trying to DROP a mandatory course (e.g. Expos)
  when you simply want to change the section
• Add first, the old section will drop
  automatically
• Trying to DROP a course, but it will bring you
  below 12 credits
• You cannot drop below twelve credits. Add
  another course or come to an Advising Center for
  help.
• Trying to ADD a course that you dont have the
  prerequisite for
• Save yourself frustration and pay attention to
  the Prereq column
• Trying to ADD a course that you DO have the
  prereq for, but that prereq isnt on your
  official transcript
• Bring an unofficial grade report or transcript to
  an Advising Center.
• Sitting alone and frustrated in your residence
  hall, occasionally posting angry messages to
  Facebook
• VISIT AN ADVISING CENTER! WE ARE HERE TO HELP!

Important Reminders about add/drop

• You must carry at least 12 credits (including
  E-credits).
• Must resolve needs placement code by the end of
  add/drop.
• Do NOT build your schedule around one class
  and/or one class section
• Have multiple class selections for each goal
  (furthering your major, exploring a minor,
  satisfying requirements)
• Consider time desirability
• The rules and psychology of add/drop apply if a
  class is closed when you logoff at 2am, do NOT
  wake up at 630 to check the status no one has
  had a chance to drop it. Youll work more
  efficiently with a few more hours of sleep!
