How to Register for College Courses You Need

Regardless of what your major is in college, it involves a specific curriculum that you must take to graduate with a degree. If you don't take the necessary classes, you'll have to stay in school longer so you can fulfill the requirements. You can find out which classes you need to take by talking to an academic advisor. After consulting with an advisor, you can be sure you are registering for classes that are appropriate for your major.

Instructions

      Schedule an appointment with an academic advisor prior to the upcoming semester. Tell the advisor what you plan to major in. The advisor will give you a list of classes that you need to take in the upcoming semester for your major. You can take more classes than your advisor advises you take, although you will need written permission from either the advisor or Dean of the school if you exceed the credit limit. For example, the credit limit at the University of Pittsburgh is 18; any student who wishes to take more must have written permission from the Dean.
