Registration Problem

I don't know if just me, or other students have the problems when they register for their courses. I often encounter problems when i register for higher level classes. For instance, this November 11, i had to register for the BPL class for my next semester's course. However, I couldn't do it because they said that i have to file the graduation form first, in order to take that class. Before that day, no one informed me anything about that. I then had to go to the advisement department, they told me that i had to go to the registrar to fill up the form. So i had to go to the registrar, and there was a long long line. Most students were like me who had problem on registering the BPL course, and they don't get inform either that they have to file the graduation form first for taking that class.

I feel this is ridiculous about the Baruch's management about the courses. I mean they have all the students e-mail address, they should send out a mail or some other way to tell the students about it, not until the last moment that we have to find out ourselve, and then able to register.

Not only that, after i filled the graduation form, i asked the lady who works there about how long i would be able to register the course, and the lady told me that after two hours i would be okay to register. The time i went to her was about 1:30pm. But the time that i able to register was around the midnight of that day. I was worried that i still couldn't register the course or maybe the course that i wanted to take was being taking over by other seniors. Fortunately, the course was still available when i was able to register.

However, the point is that Baruch should inform us about this first. Not until we have to come to them to know about it.
