Tele-bears is here, and, along with it, the Fall 2008 schedule of classes! In case you didn't check your email today, here's some helpful info on scheduling for next semester. Specifically, it will help you freak out about not getting the classes you need, scheduling conflicts, and that 8am lecture you really want to pretend doesn't exist yet--and all a month before you can even do anything about it. Phase I begins April 14th and ends July 15th and Phase II begins July 17th and ends August 17th, which means the time for nervous breakdowns is now!

1. Use BearFacts to find out your tele-bears appointment. Write it down so you don't forget (like I have the last two semesters).
2. You can also submit a DARS (Degree Audit Report) request on bearfacts to find out what classes you actually need--those breadth requirements seem to slip through the cracks sometimes. Try not to wait until second semester senior year to realize you still need to fulfill six of them.
3. Search the Fall schedule to find classes you need, times, locations, etc.
4. Check back daily--nay, hourly--for updates on class enrollment, time changes, cancellations, and more. It's really good for your blood pressure.
5. Any questions? Talk to a counselor. Don't be afraid of the endless lines, but do bring a snack to stave off possible starvation.

Happy scheduling!
