Registration for current students begins on March 19. New student registration begins on March 26 through New Student Orientation in BH 100. Pick up all necessary registration materials (schedule, registration form, instructions) in the Open College Office (Chambers Hall 109). Make an appointment with your advisor to discuss your course selections. You may confirm your advisor's name and location in the Open College Office. Your advisor will sign the registration form (after it's properly completed by you). If necessary, you may change your schedule after receiving your Fall grades. This means it's time to think about which courses you will enroll in and which instructors you will select. Don't be afraid to interview a potential instructor and ask about your responsibilities in that class. CHOOSING A MAJOR FOR FALL 2012 Choosing a major involves more than filling out a few forms. You must put together knowledge about yourself and knowledge about the courses you would have to take, and maybe even knowledge about the people who teach them. Know Your Profession--For example, women and men in the radiography profession must be able to read, digest, and memorize huge amounts of medical facts and data perfectly. They must be able to use this information quickly; it must be right at their fingertips--people's lives could depend on it. As a radiography major, you would face the same demands, for the same reasons. Computers interest you? Then you should know that computer specialists must be meticulous; programs won't run unless they are perfect. What about engineering? marketing? liberal arts transfer courses? Each of these choices places specific intellectual burdens on you. Learn Before You Choose: Find out as much as you can about your possible curriculum choice before you sign on the dotted line. TALK to someone who teaches in that curriculum. If you are applying for a selective health technologies program or Automotive Technology, fill out an application with the Admissions Office. Please be mindful of all application deadlines.
