1. Scenario: Timmy calls about registering for a Math class. He says that he was able to register for MA 098, but decided to take the placement test to see if he could take a higher Math. After the placement test, Timmy surprisingly scored high enough to take MA 105. But after some consideration, he decided that he'd better start a little lower and begin with MA 102 instead. He attempted to register and click both the class and corresponding lab for MA 102, but this time received an error message of "PREQ/TEST score." Which of the following best describes how you should handle the situation?

Tell Timmy to stop calling our office.

Tell Timmy to contact his academic advisor; this is not something our office handles.

Check his fact sheet to verify that he is flagged for MA 105. Since 102 is less than 105, you realize that he will need permission from the Academic Programs and Policy Office to register for a lesser Math than he has qualified for. You call APP directly to handle the situation, to fully explain the situation to the student and then transfer the call to APP.

Tell Timmy that he needs to select both a class and corresponding lab for MA 105; this error is indicating that he is not selecting the correct corequisite for the class.

The correct answer is C: Check his fact sheet to verify that he is flagged for MA 105. Since 102 is less than 105, you realize that he will need permission from the Academic Programs and Policy Office to register for a lesser Math than he has qualified for. You call APP directly to handle the situation, to fully explain the situation to the student and then transfer the call to APP.

6. Scenario: Timmy is listed as a Nursing major but is having difficulty registering for NUR 391. It is an independent study class set up with a variable credit hour range from 1 to 6 hours. Timmy only needs to register for 3 hours. How does he do that?

He can't register for just 3 hours, the class must be taken for 6 hours of credit.

When he registers on BlazerNet, the system will automatically know how many credit hours the student should have and it will register him accordingly.

Timmy will need to contact the School of Nursing to change his credit hours. This is not something that a student is able to do online in BlazerNet.

When he registers on BlazerNet, the system will automatically default to the lowest number in the range - in this case, 1 hour. To register for 3 hours, Timmy must go to the "Add, Drop, or Withdraw Classes" screen and manually change the hours to 3.

The correct answer is D: When he registers on BlazerNet, the system will automatically default to the lowest number in the range - in this case, 1 hour. To register for 3 hours, Timmy must go to the "Add, Drop, or Withdraw Classes" screen and manually change the hours to 3
