Registration Planning Guide You MUST complete your registration form prior to meeting with an advisor. It is okay if we need to make changes to the form. It is a work in progress. Supplies needed: catalog, CAPP report, block schedule planner, newspaper course bulletin, course registration form, pencil. Step1. | Find the grid for your major in the catalog of the year you entered the U of S. | Step2. | Cross off each course you have successfully completed. | Step3. | Check your CAPP report. Is it accurate? Fill in the courses you are currently taking. | Step4. | Make a list of courses that you should take (according to the catalog) in the next semester. Also include courses you need to repeat. Remember your writing intensive and diversity requirements. NOTE: Always take specified COGNATE and MAJOR courses in the semester they are listed. Other courses frequently have flexibility, in terms of when you take them. | Step5. | Check course descriptions in the catalog. Are there pre or co -requisites for any of the courses you are planning to take. | Step6. | Prioritize the list as follows: major, cognate, courses which are offered only one semester or the other, sequential courses, electives. | Step7. | In the course bulletin, mark all the available sections of the courses you need. | Step8. | Starting with your highest priority courses, begin to create a schedule on the block schedule form. You will always need to have alternate sections or courses selected as you may not get into your first choice(s). | Step9. | Transfer your schedule plan onto the course registration form. Be certain to list your alternate choices. |
