This week begins registration for the fall 2008 semester at Point Park. This is a picture of people waiting to register last semester.
When making my schedule last week, I realized a lot of the optional journalism classes that I wanted to take were not even available. Courses like magazine article writing, computer-assisted reporting, or even web publishing and editing, or print graphics. I think these courses, for me, anyway, are the most important, because they aren't the generic journalism classes, but things I am interested in and may want to pursue later.
Though it is only my second year here, I am a junior because of the amount of credits I have, and have to register according to my class. So the earliest I can register is Wednesday. I first need an appointment with my adviser, Helen Fallon, for her to approve my courses and then I go to the Registrar to officially register. My adviser though, had no time open Wednesday morning, so I signed up to meet with her Tuesday afternoon, so I could still register Wednesday morning, as to get into all the classes I want, even though Tuesday is supposed to be for seniors.
This semester was supposed to begin a trial online registration. I was chosen, and I got e-mails about it, but they said that more information would come from my adviser or department. I register in two days, and I haven't received any more information.
