Stressed
It's registration time in the Whitlowe R. Green College of Education! Which means advisors are nowhere to be found, last minute changes to paperwork, and attitudes. I really think there has to be a better way of handling registration. Having to chase advisors down to get registration pins and sign paperwork is a bit much. I love my institution this is true, but I see so many flaws in the way certain parts of my institution is ran. I have always heard from faculty that students have attitudes or are rude when handling business, because students believe that faculty are suppose to help at a drop of a dime. Now I do not totally agree with that, but I do feel as if that you are my advisor, then you are here to advise and help me, are you not? So why is it such a headache when I actually need you to do your job and advise me? Or what is the purpose of having office hours if you are never there during those set aside times or you are always in a meeting? When are accessible to the student body? These are the many questions that run through my mind every time I have to walk to the third floor of Delco and have to ask any advisor a question. Spring of 2015 cannot come any faster!

It can be hard to protect office hours from meetings (sometimes even class hours get squeezed) but you are 100% right that you should be able to get registered in a timely fashion if you request an appointment or come during office hours. It can be done via email and paperwork with signatures scanned if that's desired. Every student is supposed to have a primary and a back-up or secondary advisor, too, in case the first person is unavailable.
