Registration on campus

Well, let me tell you, as a very educated person on the inner workings of registration on campus, it never fails to amaze me how the advisors make huge mistakes. This is my first semester at WCSU, going to register for my second semester, i was told they have been in the process of phasing out my major. Now why in gods name would you let me enrol in school with that major if they were phasing it out? So now I have wasted time in classes I don't need and cant use as an elective because I already had too many. So now I will be in school an entire year longer that I needed to be thanks to the wonderful advisement here at WCSU. There needs to be a better way of getting advisement. On top of that some how admissions put a hold on my account so i couldn't register and there was no reason for the hold according to admissions, so when they removed the hold the classes i needed to take because of my schedule at work and with my almost 15 month old daughter were full and my advisor would not over ride me even tho they were full at no fault of my own. So thank you advisors for messing that up for me, on top of that he even told me he didnt see how i would ever manage to graduate with such restrictions. I am pretty sure many parents with young children were able to graduate while working. I was pretty upset with the discouragement i was given. Time for a new advisor.

    I love some of the helpful comments that are thrown into advisement sessions.

    It seems that this school isn't designed for transfer students at all, and I had a hell of a time getting classes for the fall... I can't wait for the following semesters. Good luck with everything.

  2. Yea it was hard to even get into the classes that they require you to take, the advising is awful around here and i've heard several faculty members agree. so its silly, they need to do something about this. Good luck to you too
