I've taken close to 300 credits. Registration for classes used to be fun when I was choosing classes for discipline. Now that I am finishing my Post BA education certificate at EMU registration is something I dread. First, classes are not designed for people who have jobs, lives, and other careers. That means that the farther you go in your education the certificate, the less likely you will find classes that work with your job schedule if you work a day job like me. Fortunately I work for the University of Michigan and have had good success getting a flexible schedule. After last fall, I stretched that goodwill to the limit taking several day classes and student teaching on several days. EMU is unsympathetic to these needs and continues to schedule classes that meet professor's desires for day time teaching but doesn't do much to help me. I am going to have to take an 11am class in the Fall. That wouldn't be so bad, but it meets twice a week. I hope I don't have to quit my job to complete my certificate because I am already very concerned about finding a teaching job in this economy.
Wish me luck!
Post Scriptum: After spending 20 minutes at the front desk and making sure I would be able to register for my classes I went to the website to register and the webbot tells me "You are not allowed to register at this time"...even though Post BA's were supposed to be able to register at 12 noon. C'est la vie!
Update: March 28th: It turns out that the university sent me an email informing I could register two days before my actual register date. I am now seated in the classes I needed.
