Registering for classes - it gets easier!

Although it may seem like a daunting task at first, just think of registering for classes as an adventure - a choose-your-own-adventure! It may take a bit of time figuring things out this year, but by the time second year registration roles around, you'll feel like a pro!

The first time I registered for university classes, I changed my mind so many times that I had to resubmit paper forms more than 10 times! Luckily, the registration process has improved since then - now you can search for, add, and delete classes as many times as you would like online, before the add/drop deadline in the fall!

You've probably already heard about the online system, Bear Tracks, used by the U of A for just about everything. This is how you'll sign up for classes. Bear Tracks is pretty intuitive, but check out the user guide anytime you're unsure about a certain process.

Registration Tip #1: Get to know Bear Tracks! If you haven't yet received your CCID (campus computing I.D.), you can log in as a guest to get familiar with the system before you choose your classes.

I will see some of you at the Registration 101 Workshop on campus tonight!
