=A New Way To Register For Classes=

While this option is still available, now students are encouraged to go online to their student portal and sign up for classes on their own. If they have questions or an idea of what classes they would like to take, they can meet with their advisors.======

=
The student portal has always been available for students to find out what courses are available, however the concept is more for students to get a better grasp on how to decide for themselves what classes they need to be enrolled in.======

=
The portal may be easier to use when it comes to signing up for classes, but it does not safe-guard against mistakes made while registering. Some consequences of registering for classes can occur if students do not make sure they have enough credits to graduate or have taken a prerequisite to the next course.======

“You need to know what you want to take for the next semester,” said Mark Kelley, the Director of Journalism at NESCOM and student advisor. “We’re doing things a little bit differently but that doesn’t mean students can’t come to us with any questions they have. It’s our job and it’s what we’re here for.”======

Students can register online by going to the NESCOM homepage and clicking on the student tab. From there, students can click on the student portal link and select offered courses and double check with their advisor as well.======
