Registration

When it’s time for you to register for classes, there are a few steps you need to follow:

1. Sign up for an appointment at least two days before your registration window opens. You want to be able to register the minute your window opens so you can get into the classes you really want.
2. Fill out your Pack Planner in MyPack. This will not only save us considerable time in your advising meeting, but it will ensure you know in advance if you’re actually going to be able to fit all the courses you want to take into that semester’s schedule. The student services website has a lot of good tutorials and resources on how to do this: https://studentservices.ncsu.edu/
3. Write down any questions you have prior to the meeting. Sometimes we can sit down, start talking, and that list of four questions you thought up twenty minutes ago suddenly became two questions and you have no idea what the missing two questions were. If you write them down, and we run out of time, then you can hand me your list and I can send you an email with answers.
4. Be on time for your advising meeting. My schedule can get tight, and we want to maximize the time we’ve got together.
5. Clear any holds you may have other than the term advisement hold (that I will clear for you after we meet). You don’t want to have to delay registration because you forgot about that $2 library late fee.
6. Register for your classes as soon as your window opens up. There’s nothing worse than having your heart set on a class only to find out it’s filled when you go to register. Well, alright, there are worse things, but you get what I’m saying.
7. Let me know if you encounter any errors or hiccups. We’ll try to solve them together, or I’ll point you in the direction of who you need to talk to.
8. Jump for joy when you get your classes scheduled! Or not, up to you.
