TUTORING CENTER
Free tutoring is available to you in the Tutoring Center in JLC-240.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION FOR THE SPRING 2008 SEMESTER

Web Registration begins on October 22.  In-person registration begins on November 5 in the Advising Center in Chambers Hall 109.

Pick up all necessary registration materials (schedule, registration form, instructions) in the Open College Office (Chambers Hall 109).

Make an appointment with your advisor to discuss your course selections. You may confirm your advisor's name and location in the Open College Office.

Your advisor will sign the registration form (after it's properly completed by you).

If necessary, you may change your schedule after receiving your Fall grades.

This means it's time to think about which courses you will enroll in and which instructors you will select. Don't be afraid to interview a potential instructor and ask about your responsibilities in that class.

CHOOSING A MAJOR FOR SPRING 2008 
Before you fill out the Drop/Add Form you should do some planning and research.  Meet with your OC advisor.  This is the person who can help steer you through the decision-making process toward choosing a major.  In addition, you should do some research.

Picking a major involves more than filling out a few forms.  You must put together knowledge about yourself and knowledge about the courses you would have to take, and maybe even knowledge about the people who teach them.

Know Your Profession--For example, women and men in the radiography profession must be able to read, digest, and memorize huge amounts of medical facts and data perfectly.  they must be able to use this information quickly; it must be right at their fingertips--people's lives could depend on it.  As a radiography major, you would face the same demands, for the same reasons.

Computers interest you?  Then you should know that computer specialists must be meticulous; programs won't run unless they are perfect.

What about engineering?  marketing?  liberal arts transfer courses?  Each of these choices places specific intellectual burdens on you.

Learn Before You Choose: Find out as much as you can about your possible curriculum choice before you sign on the dotted line.

TALK to someone who teaches in that curriculum.
TALK to your OC advisor.
TALK to a senior majoring in what interests you!
OBTAIN the signature of the the appropriate person.
TAKE the Add/Drop Form to the Business Office in Chambers Hall.
PAY the $10 change of major fee.
TAKE the Add/Drop Form to the Registrar's Office.

If you are applying for a selective health technologies program or Automotive Technology, fill out an application with the Admissions Office.
