Registration!

I'm in a lucky position right now. I'm a junior—just two credits shy of being a senior actually—which means that registration is generally a breeze for me. I was able to hit the "submit" button at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday without any issues. I'm pretty happy I have the nice, four day schedule I made for myself.

Of course, if you're a freshman or sophomore, registration can sometimes be a bit of a headache. Classes can get closed out just before you register, prompting you to have to move everything else around to make sure you take classes you need while maintaining the required amount of credits.

This is where being in LGS can come in handy. Instead of fretting over that General Education class that you got closed out of because of seniors who left theirs until the last minute, You can just take an LGS class that fulfills the same requirements (and you probably won't get closed out of it!)

Here's a bit of a reminder about what LGS students need to register for for the Fall of 2009.

Incoming Freshmen
First, let me welcome you to the program! I hope to see you all in the Fall (look for me, I'll probably be in the LGS lounge, typing away on my laptop!) Freshmen in their first semester need to take a number of courses. I know this may seem like a lot to you all, but if you weren't in LGS you would have to take similar courses. All of these courses fulfill General Education requirements!

• Art and Craft of Writing
  MWF 10:00–10:50 a.m. or TR 10:50 a.m.–12:50 p.m.


• First Year Seminar
  TR 3:05–4:20 p.m. or TR 1:40–2:55 p.m.


• FORE orientation
  M 12:00–12:50 p.m. or R 12:15–1:05 p.m.

Current Freshmen
Congratulations! You're almost through your first year at Adelphi University. I hope all of you are staying in the program. There's just one class you need to take for the first semester of your sophomore year. Global Issues I and II will fulfill your Social Sciences requirement

• Global Issues I
  TR 3:05–4:20 p.m. or MW 2:25–3:40 p.m.

Current Sophomores and Juniors
Sophomores are halfway done with their time at Adelphi, and I'm sure all of my fellow Juniors are wondering where the time went! It seems like yesterday that we were all Freshmen entering into a new program. There are two classes open to us next semester. Both of the seminars offered next semester fulfill general education requirements.

Seniors graduating in Spring 2010 should remember they must take the capstone course that semester and should plan accordingly.

• Levermore Global Scholars Seminar in The Arts
  R 8:00–10:30 a.m.


• Levermore Global Scholars Seminar in The Sciences
  TR 12:15–1:30 p.m.

There are also a number of courses offered by LGS which are not required but are highly recommended. I'll go over them in another post.

I hope registration goes smoothly for everyone!
