I am a first year student about to enrolll in the Fall, and trying to select my courses. I’m going through the telephone book sized hanbook I was given and came across a “POSt” which I remember being a “Program of Study”. It says that if I am not enrolled in a POSt then I can not pick courses. But then I thought I remember someone at the orientation saying that first years don’t have to select a POSt. Help me askastudent, you’re my only hope.Andrew
I want everyone to know that Andrew has been bumped to the top of my list because he made a Star Wars reference (whether he intended to or not), and that has effectively set the tone for the rest of this post.???
It is clear to me that the Registration Handbook & Timetable has performed a Jedi mind trick on you (and about 10 000 other first-years). You are looking at the ?Steps to Registration,? and naively assuming that you follow step 1, then step 2, then step 3?4?5?6. OBVIOUSLY, step 2 is a decoy, tossed in to throw off weak minded fools (like Bib Fortuna and yourself).????
If you read the fine print it states that ?Arts & Science students are required to enrol in subject POSt(s) at the end of the session in which they complete their fourth full-course equivalent.? In the spring, ROSI will enable students (who have just completed at least their 4th credit) to request subject POSts. Some POSts let you in right away, others have certain prerequisites.?
As a first-year student, this is relevant to you because you must be enrolling in any pre-requisite courses now for prospective POSts of interest. You don?t have to be Emperor Palpatine for this kind of foresight, just look up the POSt in the Calendar and read.?
Now, go take HUM199Y1 L0333 ?The Force Is With Us? and leave me alone. Isn?t that what you really wanted from me anyway? Yeah, I can read between the lines.
