What Do You Know About Academic Records And Registration?
-
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.

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?
