What Registering for Class in Grad School is Like

"Woohoo! Time to register for new classes!"

"That's odd. It's not letting me register online. Looks like another trip to the registrar."

*later at registrar*

Registrar: "Just fill out this paper, get your professor to sign this paper, bring it back, and you'll be set!"

*later at professor's office*

Professor: "That's the wrong paper. The correct one is online."

*later at home*

"Sweet. The paper is printed. I'll just fill this out real quick, annnnnnd....I need a preceptor to sign this form."

*later at preceptor's*

Preceptor: "It's signed! Here ya go!"

*later at grad school office*

"Here's my paperwork. Am I considered registered now?"

Office: "Nope. You didn't complete the online form. Thanks for the physical copy though."

*later at home*

"Great. I need a copy of the form I just turned in. Oh, and my preceptor's resume as well."

"I'll see if I can get that and then I'll be done."

Grad School: "Nope. You need to do a criminal history check to apply for that class. It's $40."
