There are several fifth-an sixth-year students at the University. As the years pass, it seems like more students find it more difficult to graduate on time four- year major programs.

There are a variety of reasons these students take longer to graduate. Too much partying during freshman year could be a factor for some. A work overload and poor performance in some classes because of it could be another reason.

But, a major reason could be the way the University runs class scheduling .

The University’s r scheduling process makes it hard to complete all the necessary classes in four years.

Eliminating this problem is simple. All one has to do is make sure the prerequisite is scheduled before adding classes that follow. As long as you pass the prerequisite and the following classes you will get credit in the same semester.

However, the University tries to prohibit students from taking classes before the prerequisites are completed.

Granted it may still be hard to graduate in four years even if students are able to get the classes they need.

However, scheduling in general is a problem for most students. There is a limited number of classes available each semester for specific majors.This makes it hard for everyone to get into the classes they need.

Also, the way that schedule dates are set makes it almost impossible for everyone to get into classes they need to graduate. Students may be first to schedule during their junior year, but then when the next semester comes they may be at the end of the senior list.

If students are not able to get into the classes they need they will have to stay and extra semester.

Fifth- or sixth-year seniors may have a list of reasons why they did not graduate in four years.

We advise students to try and take their prerequisites and major classes before their senior year.

The University also offers academic counselling by advisers for each student at the here at the University. Students need to take advantage and use their advisors to find out what classes they should take each semester.

The academic advisers at this University are here to guide students in the effort for them to be able to graduate on time.

Although many students may think that the University is only out to get money and does not care about students graduating, this is not true. If this were the case, the University would not offer academic through advisors, they could just lead us blind.
