<p>Hmmm at my son’s engineering class there is a 4 year plan of recommended courses that is prescribed, but the students still go into the registration system and pick their classes, they an chose to follow the prescribed class traks or not and they can choose their sections/professors…or they can choose not to follow the track so they have choice. But to “place” kids in actual classes and make the schedules for the students - I’ve not encountered that. I know for my oldest’s college he registered on the phone with his adviser so his adviser actually pushed the computer buttons for registration, but again, it was during a phone conversation the summer before he started and my son picked his classes based on recommendations from the adviser. </p>
