Critical Registration Information
1. Think about what works for you. Do you need smaller, more interactive classes, projects and papers in addition to exams; morning classes; classes that meet two or three times a week versus those that meet only once for 3+ hours? Before you check the Time and Room or meet with your advisor, answer these questions yourself. If you’d like some help brainstorming about what works for you, come in to see us.

2. Meet with your Academic Advisor early and use the time well. Talk about your preferences (see #1) and ask her/him for input on your choice of classes and professors. Drop-In at C.F.A.R. in Wolff House for a look at student evaluations of various professors' classes and teaching styles.

3. BE ACTIVE AND INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS. THis is your opportunity to investigate courses and think carefully about how you learn. Take charge of the process and make it work for you.
