You can make an appointment by calling the office, or by stopping into Undergraduate Affairs during the week.<\/li>\n<li>Check your curriculum guide: On the COM website you can find guides explaining what courses you might need to take for your major, or a guide to help remind you that you need to take another history class.\u00a0 Either way, they can make keeping track of your progress way easier than just guessing.<\/li>\n<li>Talk to your COM Ambassador: Especially if you\u2019re a freshman, you\u2019re COM Ambassador can help you out with figuring out what classes you\u2019ll take in the next semester.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most important thing about registration is making sure you don\u2019t let it stress you out too much!
