As crazy as it may seem, class registration is only one month away, and with Fall 2017 classes being released this Friday, I felt it warranted to update students on the changes that will take place for this registration term.

Perhaps the most important change is the times. For students with 72 credits or more your registration period will be Tuesday, April 11th. For students with 42-71 credits your registration will be Tuesday, April 18th. Finally, for students with 41 or less credits, your registration will be Tuesday, April 25th.

Wait, did I just say Tuesday? Yes, there is a striking change for this registration period. Instead of the traditional 8AM on a Saturday registration, the time is now 7:30AM on a Tuesday. This change was implemented so that if students had issues with registration, or needed to speak with a professor, the Griff Center, or Student Records, the appropriate faculty member would be here on Campus, ready to answer your questions.

Personally I believe this change is beneficial for students. Yes, you may have to get up a little earlier than normal on a Tuesday, but it will help students out in the long run if they have issues during registration, as many students tend to.
