Then make an . appointment to see your academic counselor, but don't trust a word he says. While his information may be valid, always check it out against the catalog or the advice of a friend. STEP TWO STEP THREE Look into other academic pro- grams such as Course Mart to see what they offer. For example, any student can theoretically take a course in the Residential College or the Pilot Program if space permits. STEP FOUR Don't be awed by interesting courses which the catalog says are only for fifth-year students majoring in astro-psychology or something like that. If you see a course you like and it's un- available to you, don't stop there. Talk to the professor and ask to be let into his class. If you pester him enough, you'll probably get in. STEP FIVE Fill out the form your coun- selor gave you. You are now of- ficially preclassified. STEP SIX If you decide you didn't like any of the classes you pre- classified for, all is not lost. You can change any or all of your classes during the "Drop-Add" period, and with a little work can drop or add a course at just about any point during the term. The key to the whole process is to remember that the Uni- versity is here to serve you, and should be treated as such. How much you get out of the Uni- versity depends entirely on how much you are willing to fight for. IF SUBSCRIBE NOW Call 764-0558 You finally made it to the big University. You're finally on your own and can take any classes you want. Right? Wrong. Selecting classes is not as easy as it sounds. You are faced with the gargantuan task of choos- ing among myriad courses, while at the same time staying within a rigid set of distribution re- quirements. I In countless confusing publi- cations, tle University empha- sizes that -all students except those who intend to receive a Bachelor of General Studies de- gree must fulfill course require- ments in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and foreign language. Equally confusing as the re- quiren ts are ,the complicated procedures involved in register- ing for classes. The process is channeled through the Univer- sity's often uncooperative and always uncompromising compu- ter system. This defiant ma- chine gives no quarter: One misplaced mark on a computer - registration sheet can foul up the whole process. Though it is impossible to tell you what classes to take, the following guide should at least help insure that you get into most of the classes you want. Don't be awed by the bureau- cracy. Though it generally seems to work against students, there are ways to get around it. You might want to visit the Student Counseling Office, 1018 Angell Hall. This office is staffed by students, and offers reason- ably good counseling without appointments. While the stu- dents will undoubtedly be better than your regular counselor, once again double-check all in- formation with the official pub- lication. f 7 cis 1 s"AA '41 'R111 'i READ THE' FINE Al Name Brand YARNS Rug Making and Needlepoint nstruction Books, Buttons, etc. Fora llyour knitting needs, stop in and see us- AT THE YARNCRAFT SHOP Located in the Arcade IA Nickels Arcade--Between Maynard & State -Ie rI e.
