Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

So in the new academic advising rules, the committee has distinguished between regular and irregular students, displaying the ones who are irregular because these are the ones who will go for advising.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as pre-enrollment yet, because the regular students still have to get their form from their advisers, which is something not different from what was done before.

It just takes a minute or less to have the forms signed for regular students.

That means there's no big change there, which would have been the pre-enrollment.

There was also no announcement that those who do not go for academic advising have a chance of being closed out of sections they want to enroll in, because priority would be given to those who went to advising early on the scheduled days.

Of course, if they had all gone for advising on the scheduled days, then the associate dean would have just opened new sections for them instead of believing there's only enough for those who enlisted during the specified early period.

So there really is no major revision to the rules, because the committee itself did not ask the rest of the advisers for their input (or inform us of their "decisions") and there's also the fact that slacker co-teacher is in that committee, which means that he oversimplifies the statements of solutions to not have to do any work besides blabber.

What would have been a major improvement would have been the computerization of the pre-enlistment, and the automatic determination of what subjects may or may not be taken by the student based on their previous grades in pre-requisites.

What would also have been a huge help would be to require the students to bring their course cards on their adjustment, instead of asking the adviser to trust them on what subjects they have passed or not, which may lead to discredit of ineligible courses when it is found out, at one point.

Lastly, there should already be a standard sheet given by the registrar's office saying what subjects are already credited for a transferee.

Session 1907 believes there are many safety catches in the system, instead of doing his job well as the first of these. Class dismissed.
