Someday, I'll get the classes I want...

Being a freshman at the UofO & registering for classes = one unhappy student who had to be extremely careful to filter & censor her anger while writing an email to the registration office...


To whom it may concern,

I am writing in regards to the registration process and sadly I feel I am not alone in my frustrations. I was told that those who were allotted the last registration times at the end of a previous term would have the chance (amongst students of similar academic standing in terms of credits) to register earlier. I feel I was deprived of this supposed privilege and for another consecutive term I am obligated to enroll in and pay tuition for classes I do not feel will benefit me as an undergraduate student whatsoever. I also feel I cannot efficiently fulfill my requirements. With rising tuition  costs, I deem it an injustice to have such scarce openings in classes at this point in registration. I am well-aware that I am a freshman and will not have first priority. However, I should not be as limited as I am in what is offered. I am sure similar emails have been received and I hope my concerns will not go unobserved. I ask as a student who holds my education in high regard that the staff in charge of registration work towards a system that allows freshman students to have more options when registering for classes and that does not leave the same students registering at the end of each registration period.

Respectfully,
