The time to see your advisor is now
With the fall semester getting closer to ending, spring registration is coming up and opening soon. Registration opens Nov. 7 for priority one students and opens up Nov. 8 for all others.
“The last day to register for the spring semester is going to be Jan. 30 at 5 p.m. We don’t want to wait that long because by that time it’s late registration and class has already started…you want to register as soon as you’re eligible to,” Academic Advisor Priscilla Guerra said.
Registering early is important and should be a top priority for students so that they can get the classes they need and want.
“It’s important for multiple reasons one of the first being that classes fill up and we have a lot of students who have a schedule preference…but at the same time for kinesiology our upper-level classes they fill up very fast so it’s important that students who need to be in the class get into the class so they won’t fill up quick,” Academic Advisor Sarah Ramos said.
Sometimes students may not always know what to take next or what they need to take next in order to get them to where they need to be to graduate. Students should not hesitate to contact their advisors and ask for guidance.
“We’re there to help you not only to talk about your degree plan, pick out your classes, help you build your schedule but most importantly if you need the help to register or you’re not sure how to do it or you want to make sure you’re doing it right that’s where we come in,” Guerra said.
Students have a couple of options when registering for classes such as online or in person with an advisor’s help. Some students feel registering is a daunting task and some students see it as a breeze to accomplish.
“Usually when I register for classes I do it on my own by having my degree plan printed out. It is helpful to have your degree plan so you can see what classes you have taken and what classes you need to take…this method has made the registration process easy for me and has helped keep me on track to graduate on time,” junior Aylin Rubio said.
To register, log into JNet then to go to the campus resources tab. Once there, select Blue and Gold, then registration, and then log into schedule planner. You then should be redirected to that page and then select the term you are registering for.
