Advance Registration Now Available For Students

Registration for the fall semester is now available for all PVCC students. “It is important to register now because this is current student priority,” said Academic Advisor Kristin Wentland.

Wentland also pointed out the sooner students register for classes, the more likely it is they will get the days and times they want for their class schedule. This is important because certain classes are only available during the fall semester. Some of these classes include BIO 256, HLT 230, and PHY 201 and 241.

For students who are considering summer classes, registration for the summer semester is also available.

“Summer is a great way to balance the fall and spring semesters so you can take less credits,” said Wentland.

Summer classes range from five weeks to 10 weeks. Students can also use the five week classes as a way to earn more credits. One example Wentland gave was that a student could take HIS 121 for the first five weeks, and HIS 122 during the next five weeks.

When it comes to the number of available classes, the summer semester is more scaled back when compared to the fall and spring semesters. For example, according to Wentland, classes that go towards majors like Engineering and Computer Science will probably not be available during the summer semester. Classes that are typically available during the summer are in history, math, English, humanities, and social sciences.
