Class Registration

Technology offers students the ability to go online and register for classes directly, but this technology is not yet smart enough (at least our son's school's is not) to make it completely practical to do so. Use a separate tool such as an Excel spreadsheet during the registration process to make sure they don't schedule over-lapping classes, or class times that are too close together for classes that are physically very far apart on campus.

It's easy to click, click, click and have a full schedule, but then once it's time to go to classes they will recognize that the schedule may not work. In order to prevent them from having the hassle of changing their schedule around, help them with the registration process (if their advisor is not able to do it for them at orientation).
