Parents and families, you play an integral role in your student's college experience. Help make sure your student is ready to register for the Summer and Fall 2024 semester by asking the following questions:
- What day do you register?
- When is your appointment with your academic advisor?
- Have you completed your undergraduate advising worksheet?
- Do you have alternate sections and courses identified in case you do not receive a seat in your preferred section?
- If you are registering for both summer and fall, do you understand how to avoid registration errors?
- Do you understand how wait lists work? Have you signed up to receive text notifications when a wait list seat is available?
- Do you have any holds or parking tickets that will prevent you from registering at your registration time?
And, then, the day before their registration date, please ask: Did you set your alarm so you are up, awake, logged into either PAWS or College Scheduler, and ready to register at 7 AM sharp?
Students may receive errors during registration, need to practice problem solving, or obtain additional assistance. The Registrar's Office in Parks Hall 103 (478-445-6286) will also be open each morning by 6:45 AM. Students are welcome to stop by or call; email during this time is discouraged for urgent matters, as we likely will not see it immediately.
Remind your student that even if their schedule is not "perfect" on the day they register, there will be numerous opportunities to add, drop, or change their schedule in the months before the semester begins. There are also many people on campus to help them.
