Registering for classes can be a somewhat stressful event for college students, but there are many ways you can prepare so you don’t have to fret too much.
First of all, make sure that you look through the all of the courses being offered on the Drew website and jot down some of the ones that you need to take or spark your interest before meeting with your advisor. Make sure you schedule your meeting with your advisor in advance so that you aren’t rushing to try to fit classes into your schedule at the last moment. Advisors are great because its their job to know what classes you should be taking. Before I meet with my advisor about signing up for classes I’m always a little bit flustered but afterwards I have a more clear understanding about what courses should be taking. After your meeting, play around with your schedule before choosing one that fits perfectly. If there are classes that you’re unsure of whether or not you’ll get into, always have a back-up class ready that you can register for instead.
On the morning of registration, set your alarm early so that you’ll be fully awake by the time registration opens for your class. If you’re a heavy sleeper, set multiple alarms because you don’t want to be that kid who sleeps through registration and groans about it the rest of the day.
Don’t worry too much if you didn’t get into a class that you really wanted to take because people always drop classes. Also some professors are more lenient than others so shooting them an email can never hurt. Good luck!
