When are reg dates assigned for fall?
Does anyone remember about what time we get our reg dates in summer? Does anyone think itll be in the next week or two? Hopefully I don't get screwed over again, at this point with my GPA and credits I think I should have something decent

However, this time I will get even with them. I read from a report by SFU's Institute of Research and Planning called "Undergraduate Course Availability: Defining the Problems and Seeking Solutions at Simon Fraser University" that students taking few courses can actually hurt SFU. It turns out that us taking fewer courses would
"*...reduced student credit loads and hinder the university’s ability to meet its Enrollment Plan.
*Decreases in credit loads affect tuition fee revenue."
I plan to send a big "fuc* you" to SFU by NOT enrolling in courses that I didn't plan to take and would thus hurt their cash flow. For example, if I could only get only two courses that I want, then I will only take that two courses.
Otherwise, no. As long as you graduate and get your degree, should be fine.
Suck it up.
besides, you are 1/24000, so you can't do much damage anyways.
edit: you live on rez, right? if you take fewer courses, you will have to take more semesters and pay more rez fees. Self-powned!
I can accept the fact scholarship students in the same year as me get to go first, but scholarship students with less credits than me, no!
It should be entirely based on credits, and when people tie in credits based on GPA. (my opinion anyway)
Oh on a side notes, as well as first year kids and athletes, students with disability also get priority registration. I am refering to those that were sanctioned by RHA, not some random party that took place in some Townhouses.
At university, this is their last chance to make something of all their hard work and to be scouted by a bigger uni/ or a pro team. Im sure that most athletes dont take full course loads ayways so them taking our spot in any class shouldnt be a concern to you.
Theres actually a player on New Castle united, that was picked out from our mens soccer team. 2 years ago he was playing soccer here in SFU and now hes in league with the biggest names in soccer.
Also, this is unfair to the athlete/students whose sport are not a part of the university's varsity program. These athlete/ students too worked their whole life to maintain physical fitness, why should they not get the same benefit as the athlete/ students who sport are a part of the university's varsithy program.
For example, I could be an athlete/ student who sport is 50 Meter Rifle, something I seriously want to try. I, like athletes who sport is a part of the school's varsity program, need to attend practice at least three times a week. Why should these school sanctioned athletes/ students get the benefit of priority registration while I don't? I had a similiar debate in another forum I once frequented. Like I said back then, the word University came from the latin phrase universitas magistrorum et scholarium, which means "community of teachers and scholars."
Therefore, you are either in university to teach, learn, or run the university. Anything else, stay out of our way. You mean "football" right? Sorry, I have to throw in an obligated North America Soccer/ Europe Football joke.
