Spring enrollment at Northwestern officially opened back in October, and despite the opportunity to indulge in various food trucks, a significant amount of students are still yet to enroll.
Dean of student affairs and enrollment, Calleb Mosburg said, for those students that are yet to enroll, the chances of having the classes that he or she would like are slim, depending on which class it is.
In addition, Mosburg also provided five reasons to enroll prior to departing for the holiday break in December.
Reason No. 1 Course Selection:
According to Mosburg, this may not be a major point of interest for upper level students, however, sometimes students who are juniors and seniors still have to take general education courses, and making sure to get those out of the way only helps ensure they graduate on time.
For the freshmen and sophomores, Mosburg added that enrolling early ensures them with the opportunity to secure much needed classes for them to stay on track with the course rotations with their selected majors.
Reason No. 2 Less Money Spent on Classes:
If a student is taking classes that they need to early on, and making it a point to enroll in 15 hours or more a semester, it will actually end up costing less money for the student in the long run, Mosburg said.
“If you are not getting the classes you need to early then that will extent over to extra semesters which will force you to keep spending money on classes,” Mosburg said.
Reason No. 3 Less Stress:
By enrolling early, Mosburg said students would not have to carry the stress of determining which classes they need to take heading into finals week or the holiday break.
“Your focus can turn to getting out of town and enjoy the break, instead of worrying about not getting into a particular class,” Mosburg said.
