Although a few students have been ready to wage war against advisers or professors because of scheduling problems, most students are getting the classes they want for next semester, said Maureen Deisinger, academic advisor.

“Usually they get 12 credit hours at first and later end up in all the classes that they choose,” she said.

Jennifer Jewett, sophomore in elementary education, said she was able to get into all the classes she wanted for the spring.

“I was concerned about one class because it had two openings the day before my registration date, but I got into all the classes I wanted,” she said.

Not all students were so lucky.

“I didn’t get into one of the classes that I wanted because I switched colleges and it wasn’t registered into the college of education yet. Other than that, I got into all the classes that I want,” said Brian Kenne, sophomore in sports management.

Jewett said she thinks it is tougher for freshmen to enroll into higher-level classes because they’re the last to register.

“I’ve been pretty successful in getting into all of the classes that I need except for one of them,” said Kaleigh Robinson, freshman in liberal arts and sciences. “I can’t get into the history class that I want, but I don’t think that it will effect my future scheduling because right now it is just an elective.”

Not being able to enroll in a class can effect future scheduling.

“If you would like to take a class next semester that you need a prerequisite class for and you can’t get into that class, then it ruins the rest of your schedule and this will hold you back in the future semesters,” Jewett said.

Students can try to get into classes they need by other means.

“A student can go to their advisor or the professor of a certain class to see it they can get into the desired class,” Jewett said. “I think that the chances of getting into a lecture are higher than getting into a lab or high-level class.”

Deisinger gave several tips for students to make scheduling easier.

Deisinger suggested students try to schedule at the time they are assigned to increase their chances of getting into classes that fill quickly.

“Students should also have a lot of classes picked out with lots of options for times and sections. If they think that there is a class that they think will be difficult to get into, they should try that class first and work around it,” Jewett said.

Even if classes are full now, scheduling is still in progress and spaces may open.

“Keep trying to touch tone. Even through December,” Deisinger said.
