Registration Day at EM

I must commend my school, Georgia State University for being organized in terms of registration for classes.  What I experienced at the EM, yesterday, 9/12/11, leaves a lot to be desired.  How can registration be on the same day classes are beginning?  Oh well, check this out.  We are international students, from America, oblivious of the computer system at EM, we all speak English, registration day arrives, the school website is in French, wow, nobody, faulty or staff is in sight to assist the many international students coming to EM this fall.  Now what was expected of us?

The registration for international students did not open until 12:00 noon, per message posted on the registration page.  Now this is even more interesting, finally registration opened at 12 noon, but hey, you click on the EM code for a class you are interested, and bung, it is in French.  According to what we were told previously, you can register to as many classes as you wish, and drop the ones you might not need next week, oh well, once registered to all the classes, there is no concise schedule to give you a rough indication as to what times or room numbers the classes will be taking place. No summary of how many credit hours you actually registered for.  Worse still, the schedule is not arranged in manner that you can print and show the whole week's classes.

Like I said earlier, I must give GSU the props for a well organized registration system, that is stress free and one that is very user friendly.  Go Panther!  I appreciate you more than I ever thought. - Caroline
