Student Poor Class Management

Has anyone noticed that the classes you need to complete your major, once you hit your senior year, are nearly impossible to get into sometimes? With budget cuts (less classes) and increased student volume it can be maddening to get a seat.

To secure a bachelors degree you need to earn 120 credit hours with a certain number of those credits allocated to your major, but I know students who are going to fly right past 120 credits and still not have their degree. It’s really a product of poor class management.

What many do is leave classes under their major until their senior year. Then they end up scrambling to get a seat into those classes so they can graduate on time. Sometimes they are even relegated to a random night class, which is more expensive at most schools, just to get it done.

My advice to all of you is to not wait until your junior and senior years to take the classes which fall under your major. Pick them off as you go. It will make your life less stressful and may actually cost you less time and money in the long run.
