I don't know about all schools, but that's how mine is as well. BUT if you go in and speak with an advisor during the time that you're able to register, he can just register you then if you choose for him to do so. Plus he can sometimes place you into some classes that you otherwise might not be able to get into due to restrictions on classes and whatnot. So when the kid that thinks nothing matters goes to the advisor and tells the advisor to put him in anything, the advisor can do so at some universities. My question is how can someone that seems that so stupid that they can't chose what they're interested in, and think that it doesn't matter, be in college in the first place?
Back to the college ripoff scam... It seems to me that the advisor is at error, but you are at error as well for not checking it and making sure yourself either before or right after speaking with him. But then, I have known a few people that have been screwed over by an advisor. I'm sorry it happened to you, but at least you've still got your options open and still able to go into the field you want to, right?
