Advising from abroad
One of the trickier things about terms abroad is getting students advised and registered. We've got to help everyone, but they really need to email their departmental advisors at home (if they're not majors in our department) to be sure. Making things harder already - and I can't imagine it won't continue to make things worse - we're in the midst of a campus-wide transition to PeopleSoft. I've lost track of the number of times our departmental secretary has emailed this semester to say she would be at a training. Enterprise software. Ugh.
Worst of all, for the sophomores on the trip, they're supposed to be registering the day they fly back to America. NOT fun.

Can the sophomores e-mail the Registrar's Office with their choices and have the system register them? I think that's how it is done for some students abroad who might have trouble for some reason.
.....There's an idea! And since, so far as I know, both of our sophomores are taking the group flight, I'll check on that possibilty. Thanks, L! --MCT
