9/2 Signing Up for Classes

Talk about signing up for classes in college.

College students sign up for their classes before the semester begins. All of this is done online these days. Students sign up for required courses for their major and for some electives. There are a certain amount of credits they have to take to graduate. Some students end up having classes all week. Others concentrate their classes on certain days of the week. College juniors and seniors have more classes directly related to their major. Students who have double-majors have to take more classes. Right after classes begin, there is a period when students can drop courses or sign up for extra classes. Once classes begin, students get the syllabuses from their professors and attend class.
