[rec.humor] University Registration Experiences...

m-liu@eastend.columbia.edu (Micky Liu) (11/26/88)

I am trying to gather information about students' reactions to
registration.  The most helpful information will include:

- school
- approx number of students
- length of registration period
- how easy is it to get your classes?
- when do you have to pay tuition? (before, during, or after)
- how does your school handle limited enrollment classes
- how registration is handled (pre, mailin, phonein, normal)

I am cross-posting this message since I don't really know where
to post.  I'm not really looking for funny horror stories, but
they would be helpful if they point out flaws in the method.
(I've got several of my own...)  Please try to send all replies
to me unless, you have a funny one and would like to share it
with those readers of rec.humor...

If other parties are interested in the replies, I will be happy
to summarize and distribute...

Thank You,

   ----pre for asking for main classes, then regular to drop/add; going
       to phonein and "get them when you ask for them" beginning next
       fall.

Whoa--STOP!!!!

Before responding to the University Registration question, remember 
to check the cross-post list and remove rec.humor!  This sure doesn't
belong here.

Hmmmmm.... lets hava look.....

Yup, this drivel is in rec.humor, but for some reason I am not amused

These stats are astonishing but does anyone know how many University students
it takes to change a light bulb?

Enquiring minds don't care
