Remudamom Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Youngest dd is trying to enroll for fall classes and her @$$ of an advisor will not get around to giving her the advisement number she needs to get it done. I've been standing back for two weeks, trying to let her work it out herself, but yesterday I found out that two of her classes are already full. I am very angry to put it mildly. Last night I shot off two emails to him and I'd better get an answer with a number in it this morning or I'm off to the college. If you see a mushroom cloud over the midwest it's just me.

Mimm Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 My experience registering for classes is that you have to be really aggressive getting everything you need from your adviser. They have a lot on their plate and they will easily ignore you if they can. :p They are usually teachers with classes of their own and registration comes as they are dealing with finals so they are just as busy as students if not more so.

swellmomma Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 What a PITA! Why does she have to go through the advisor to register for her classes? When I was in college we just went to the registrars office and registered for the classes we wanted (well for my arts degree, my other programs it was set classes you took when we were accepted because they were certificate programs). Can you not just go to the college and pick the classes you want without the advisor as a go between? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not just go to the college and pick the classes you want without the advisor as a go between? We had to have everything approved by an advisor before enrollment was opened for us. It was a pain! I always went in with my schedule done along with my plan of classes through graduation. I never left the office without my number. I waited. You have to be very aggressive, that OS not generally my personality. But it was a necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Can you not just go to the college and pick the classes you want without the advisor as a go between? Not at my son's school. He has to meet with his adviser before he can register. The adviser gives a pass code, which allows you to register. The pass code is your proof you met with the adviser.

I am finding in many areas you guys in the US have far more paperwork and hoops to jump through than we do here in Canada when it comes to reaching steps towards goals such as registration for classes in college (I was thinking that the other day as well when I learned how many steps to getting a merit badge there is in the US versus in Canada). That advisor better smarten up and respond if they know what's good for them. Though I would love to see the news footage of the aftermath if he/she doesn't.

It made the meeting go by very quickly and if I did need to see them for something else, they were usually a lot better about working with me as they knew I had it together.

celticmom Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It may be a regional difference here in the US. I have been to three separate colleges here in the south in two states. All three colleges required you to meet with your advisor every term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ok, kids, listen up! If you have 4 steel bars, 2.5 inches in diameter, placed every 4 inches, set into a steel frame that's say 12 x 14 inches, 4 inches thick on all sides, set into a concrete wall, how long and thick would a chain have to be to hook onto those bars and remove it fully from the wall? Also, at what angle would how many pounds of pressure per square inch need to be applied? And yes, you *must* show your work. Whoever gets the right answer gets to ride in RemudaMom's pony cart.

Apparently she does have to meet with her advisor to enroll, but only the first semester. There wasn't an official opening til Friday, but we got in for Monday. 8) They will not let me go in to see the advisor with her.

I wish we could do this but it's far enough away that it has to be planned. The biggest problem is that oldest dd already has all her classes scheduled for T/Th. It makes for a long day but less driving. Now youngest dd has not much of a chance at all to get all her classes those same days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
