Final Notes on Registration The courses you select are a REQUEST.
There are no guarantees that you will get exactly what you want.
Counselors will do their best to ensure you are in courses of your
interest, however, being on track for graduation trumps any
request. Write down as many courses of interest as you can. Failure
to follow the process will result in a schedule chosen by your
counselor. You must return the signed form to guidance by the
