NDC Visit Postponed
I'm sorry to say that the Neighborhood Design Center visit for this evening has been postponed due to few responses and a late-breaking conflict with Larch 693. The NDC Director and I decided that we would reschedule the visit for Thursday, January 7th, in hopes that more students will attend. You'll be asked to RSVP at a later date.
As an alternative, I would encourage you to partipate in tonight's visit to MSI associated with Larch 693. You are encouraged to participate even if you are not enrolled in 693. A bus will pick up students from the Woodruff Ave side of Knowlton Hall at 5:45pm. You can expect to return to campus by 8pm. If you have questions about the MSI visit, contact Jason Brabbs.

Learn About Alternative Energy with Engineering Scholars
Dull Homestead, Brookeville, OH
November 14th (Saturday) – 9:00am-3:00pm
The Dull Homestead is a innovative farm that uses a wide variety of alternative energy technologies including wind, solar, fuel cell, biomass and geothermal just to name a few. We’ll see first-hand how these technologies work and the potential they have to replace conventional, non-renewable energy sources. The bus will depart from Smith Hall at 9:00am on Saturday morning. We will then arrive to the location and be guided on a two-hour tour of the facilities. We will stop for lunch on the way back, which requires students to cover their own costs. Return time should be around 2:30pm, back in plenty of time for kickoff!
Learn more at: http://www.daytonpeacemuseum.org/Contrib/Affiliates/FutureEnergyCenter.htm
Interested in participating? Contact Mike Mason, Engineering Scholars Coordinator, at mason.519@osu.edu.

Scheduling Today
1. Schedule as soon as your registration appointment begins. If you wait, they other students will have the chance to register and claim seats in the courses you want. Make your Scholars priority work for you!
2. Didn't respond to the studio preference survey during the last month? I am not able to override the class limit, but if Arch 202 is full for the time you want register instead for Larch 151. This is the same exact course and you will still be eligible to apply to either the arch or larch major regardless of whether you register for Arch 202 or Larch 151.
3. It is NOT required that you complete Physics 112 this academic year. It's nice if you can, but it will not affect your opportunity to apply to the architecture major. Physics 111 is the prerequisite; 112 is a graduation requirement.

More Scheduling Tips
1. Plan Ahead.
Scheduling at Orientation was easy because we took the responsibility of making times/days work for you. Now, this is your responsibility. If you haven't already looked up times/days of the courses you are interested in, you need to do this ASAP. Don't wait until Tuesday to figure this out. Scheduling takes planning and organization. Draw yourself a schedule of the week or use Excel to create this so you can see how your courses fit together.
2. Give Yourself Options.
Be flexible. Don't be locked into only one schedule. Things change and classes can fill up. You may not always get your first choice of time or day. Be willing to make adjustments and always have a back-up plan.
3a. Waitlist. Waitlist. Waitlist.
If a particular course is full, you will be asked if you'd like to add yourself to the waitlist. If the class is important to you, say yes. There is A LOT of time between now and the beginning of winter quarter. If you are waitlisted, you will automatically be enrolled into the course when space becomes available. Once you waitlist yourself, you will be given information about your waitlist position. You should check your waitlist position frequently. The waitlist operates though the first Friday of the quarter. Don't be intimidated by a waitlist; in almost all cases, everyone will end up being enrolled in the course.
3b. Waitlist: Things to Watch For.
Waitlisting is a good thing, but you need to be sure that the course you waitlist yourself for will actually fit into your schedule. If you schedule another course during the same time as the course you are waitlisted for, you will never be enrolled in the waitlisted course because the system sees a conflict. The waitlist IS specific to the day/time you select, and not to all options of the class. If you are waitlisted for one particular section, you should check to see if there is another open section that might work in your schedule instead.
