11 Class Registration Struggles We’ve All Experienced

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

1. Logging into MyMadison, multiple times. MyMadison can be a hit or miss on any given day, but during class registration it brings us to a whole new level of anxiety. You’ll have yourself asking, “Wait, whats my password again?” or “What breed is my dog?” 2. Looking at your enrollment date. 

3. Hearing about others’ enrollment dates. Wait, I swear they do it by credits.

4. Looking at your enrollment time and realizing it’s during one of your class periods. 5. Staring at the GenEd checklist, major requirements, and degree requirements trying to decide what to do with your life.6. Finding all the classes you want or need. Then realizing they’re only offered before 10 a.m.7. Or that they’re only offered after 4 p.m.8. Or the professor was given below a 3.0 on ratemyprofessor.com (face it we all use it).9. Slowly watching all the green boxes in your shopping cart turn blue. 10. Hoping it just turns into a yellow triangle at the least.11. Finally it’s your time to enroll, you get into some classes, and realize that what’s done is done. The best you can hope for is the beginning of open registration.
