Early registration is good for students in that:
- you will find out earlier whether you successfully registered for your desired courses. This will allow for advance planning around other commitments, such as work and child care, as you’ll know your course schedule that much earlier.
- information on course demand will be available earlier, to allow the College to plan for additional course offerings where possible.
You will receive a registration alert card approximately one month before Fall registration begins. For a successful registration, make sure you make arrangements for academic advising or financial aid in time for the earlier start to registration.
For more information email the Registrar's Office or call 604 527 5478.

This is only good if the teachers listed are the actual ones that will be teaching the class.
ReplyDeleteChanging teachers before the semester starts is horrible to students.
how do you know which courses are offered when
ReplyDeleteHi there, you can see which courses are offered at what times by looking at the Course Schedule. The Course Schedule is found on the Registration Services area of the website:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.douglas.bc.ca/application-services.html
You will see inside the Pink Box it says "Credit Course Schedule"; simply click on that link and browse the schedule. The Course Schedule for the Fall 2011 semester has been online to view since May 1.
Why does it matter who teaches the class? The information is generally the same and encountering many different teaching styles should only benefit you.
ReplyDeleteIt matters who teaches a class because some teachers just cant teach. They cant get their point across and ramble on about their own lives instead of information needed in class then expect you to have a perfect understanding of things they never taught to the class. And sadly there are quite a few teachers like this as douglas, at least in the business department
ReplyDeleteagreed, different profs have different teaching styles. Some like MC tests, others love essays, some mark hard, some easy. It really depends. Some profs are a MUST AVOID, other profs are MUST HAVES. some profs are really really tough, but you'll get another prof for the same class and it's an easy A.
ReplyDeleteAgreed with above comments. Some profs ramble on about their own lives and should stick to course content. One of them in particular starts talking about something, then in mid sentence switches gears and talks about something else. Sometimes he only mentions a topic in a one or two word phrase then expects you to have a full understanding of it on the exam. This happened recently, a topic in class only was mentioned in a two word phrase and I wrote it down but then we were asked to give a full explanation of it on the exam. maddening. Won't take another course with him.
ReplyDeleteI was in one class and the instructor gave everyone the same mark regardless of how well or poorly they did. I know this because we were marked on our oral presentation and some people were amazing while one or two were so bad I wonder how they got into college in the first place. We all ended up with pretty much the same mark so I don't think that a grade reflects the truth of how well someone did or the quality of work they did or time and effort they put into it. Some instructors are like that. I've read other students papers that got A's and they didn't even form a proper sentence structure or follow the guidelines for writing academic papers. I just wonder how they even got accepted for college level courses. Some students didn't even know the difference between there, their, and they're. Very bad. oh well, not my problem how well someone does or doesn't do in life.
ReplyDeletewut
ReplyDeleteis early registration only available to those who have been sent their alert card?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletePriority Registration for the Fall 2011 semester is from June 23-July 8. All current Douglas College students should be able to register for classes online during this time.
All students who are eligible should have received a reminder card in the mail (but sometimes they do get lost).
So please log into the registration system and check if you have a registration date & time. If you do, then you're good to go. If not, please call the Registrar's Office at 604 527 5478.
The email address on this page does not work. Please fix it for those of us that have questions.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone,
ReplyDeleteThe email address now works.
when I see 'prorequisites processing' instead of 'registered' in front of the courses names on the registration system, have I already taken seats(surely, that can be canceled if I can't get proper scores) OR am I on the waiting lists (so, I don't need to pay for the tuition)?
ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeleteWhen you show a registration status of "Pre-requisite in progress," that means you are currently registered and taking up a seat. When your final grades come in from the required pre-requisite, the status will either change to "Registered" (assuming you pass), or you will be dropped from the course (assuming you do not pass the pre-req).
Students owe tuition fees for these classes, since they are registered and taking up a seat.
Hope this helps. If you need more clarification, please contact the Reg Office at 604 527 5478.
