The order for registration for Fall 2011 classes is different from previous semesters.

No longer are freshmen the last to sign up for their fall courses, in fact, they’re the fourth group to get to sign up. The juniors are fifth, and the sophomores are sixth.

Some students, like soph­omore education major Katie Ross from Denham Springs, are glad that they are in the special groups, who get to sign up first.

“I find that being in a specialty group helps me be­cause I can get the classes I want first without wor­rying that the class will be full before I can register.”

If she was not part of the Honors Program, Ross would have drawn the short straw and been one of the last students to register as a sophomore.

When asked about why there was a change in the order, Kimberly Olney, a freshman atmospheric sci­ence major also from Denham Springs, said, “I think they put the freshmen before the juniors and soph­omores so they have a chance to get into the class­es they need.”
