This is an exciting time of the year for incoming freshmen and transfer students. Why? Well, as most of you have visited the campus already it’s time to return to the University of Illinois and register for classes!
Orange bags (which you receive upon arrival) seem to appear everywhere as I walk across the quad. Most of you should have already signed up for a day to attend the campus and register for classes. During the day you chose, you will meet with an advisor to discuss the courses that fit best with your major.
The day is also an opportunity to obtain your Student ID card, also known as an i-card. Your i-card is used for multiple things such as: a gym pass, bus pass, discounts at restaurants in the area, library card, meal plans, and could even be used as a bank card! It is important to keep your i-card on you when attending classes for identification purposes. For example, I had test in one of my classes that needed my University Identification Number (UIN) and also a picture ID and the i-card fulfilled both requirements.
During registration day you also will meet individuals within your major. Take advantage of introducing yourself and getting to know others, that way you already have a friend and who knows, they may just be in the same classes as you!
Registration day at the University of Illinois is something to look forward to. You will be able to do all the things listed above and also familiarize yourself with the campus. It is a busy day but don’t get overwhelmed, there will be plenty of time in the fall to familiarize yourself with campus!
What day are you coming to register and if you’ve already completed that step, what are your Fall 2010 classes?
