Being a first year college student, every single day is a learning experience. \u00a0There are many things here at FIT that I’m trying to figure out or have yet to figure out. \u00a0However, I think I’m pretty good at understanding how the registration game works. \u00a0If you are an incoming freshman, you will register for your first semester classes the summer leading up to your first semester. \u00a0For the second semester, you register in early November. \u00a0Sounds simple? \u00a0Maybe not.<\/p>\n

  1. YOU GOT IN! \u00a0CONGRATULATIONS! \u00a0When you applied, you already chose your major. \u00a0With that being said, you can now look at classes that you are required to take. \u00a0By all means, you are more than welcome to take classes that aren’t required for your major, I won’t stop you….and neither will your computer when you go to register. \u00a0(I’ll get to that later.)<\/li>\n
  2. Depending on what major you are, go to\u00a0http:\/\/www.fitnyc.edu\/1706.asp<\/a>\u00a0and click on your major. \u00a0From there, click on “Curriculum” located on the left hand side of your screen typically under “Related Links.” \u00a0From there, you click on your year\/type of degree program (Ex: 2-year Associate Program for Advertising and Marketing Communications Fall 2013). \u00a0The website will give you an outline of your next 1-2 years at FIT, broken up by semester.<\/li>\n
  3. Check to see what classes are required for your major! \u00a0You can do this by scrolling down on the course outline that I discussed above to view your major specific SUNY general education requirements. \u00a0Do your research and see what courses are allowed and not allowed to be taken as a student of a certain major.<\/li>\n
  4. Map everything out. \u00a0Make a mock schedule. \u00a0You can view what courses are being offered by going to your myFIT account – Student Tab – Registration – Look up classes to add. \u00a0*Note, not all classes are offered every semester, so plan accordingly. \u00a0Look at previous years to see what classes were offered for each given semester.<\/li>\n
  5. It’s time to register! \u00a0When you applied, you received a myFIT login user and password. ALWAYS check this account\/email to stay updated. \u00a0Sometimes, FIT isn’t so great at advanced reminders. \u00a0So that this blog post doesn’t get excessively long, this link explains how to physically sign up for your classes online. \u00a0<\/span>http:\/\/www.fitnyc.edu\/3566.asp<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. May the odds be ever in your favor. (It’s not that scary \ud83d\ude42 )<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
