DD attended Merit Weekend on March 9th-10th. Want to give students a “heads up” on the registration process.
UK has been her first choice from the moment she stepped on campus and she received an excellent OOS scholarship. She only submitted her highest ACT score because UK does not superscore for scholarships and has not submitted AP scores because she is taking three exams in May and the scores she already has didn’t impact what she was planning to take in the Fall. But when she went to register on Saturday morning, she had already been registered into two classes (chem and calc). It was not the Chemistry class level she wanted and she is taking Calc this summer. She was told she could not remove the classes from her class schedule until after her registration period ended and their contact hours precluded her from being able to register for the class schedule she had carefully prepared. It was a disaster and really stressful for her as she watched sections fill up. She finally contacted an advisor in the Lewis Honors College who was incredibly helpful and got her registered for the classes she wanted (minus the sections that were already closed!). In the large group meeting, the advising representative talked about how classes would be recommended. What she really meant was that your student could be already registered. Be prepared!!!
