If you can't register tomorrow, remember that we are not a first-come first-served program...just register by May 19. Please be sure to email me your ranked preferences (see After You Register, below). Below is an overview of the registration process for your reference: REGISTERING: You can call Telebears at 510-642-3400 or go to Telebears via bearlink.berkeley.edu. If you are unsure of your appointment time, you can log on the web and it will tell you when your 24-hour period begins. After your appointment time, open hours are Mon.-Fri. 7-8 a.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight. Call us at 510-642-1406 if you need your PIN number. You may sign up for as many classes as you like at this stage. We will determine who can get into oversubscribed/full classes after May 19. You will be given the opportunity to tell me which 'extra' courses to drop after registration ends May 19. After this time, we will SERIOUSLY discourage anyone from keeping more than 9 units. Keep in mind the policy regarding materials costs, below. Please keep in mind that we will not know which classes you get into until the end of May. CLASSES ON THE SAME DAY: The system will allow you to sign up for classes that meet on the same day. Just follow the instructions to "OK" a time conflict. OVERSUBSCRIBED CLASSES/WAITLISTS: If a class is full, sign up ANYWAY. We will allocate seats based on priority (number of semesters completed in the Evening program). If all members of a cohort cannot get into a class, all of the people with the same seniority will be randomly selected for the class and waitlist. Classes likely to be oversubscribed: E248/Telecomm, E259-2/Leadership, E262A/Product Mgmt, E295/Entrepreneurship. If you are signing up for one of these classes, choose a back-up classes. DAY CLASSES: You cannot do anything to register for day MBA classes until August 28. This allows all of the day students to work with their department to register. You may want to sign up for an Evening back-up now, in case you don't get into the day class of your choice. We have a list of day classes in the office for you to consider now. AFTER YOU REGISTER: Email me to give me your rank-ordered preferences and total number of desired units by MAY 19TH. For example: 1. E203, Finance 2. E248, Telecomm 3. E296, Supply Chain Total units: 6 After we are done registering May 19, we will determine which classes you get into. We will look at your preferences and work with you to drop you from the extra classes. Your choice of preferences does not AT ALL affect which courses you get into. RESPONSIBILITY FOR MATERIALS COSTS: After May 19, if we contact you to drop courses and you decide to keep extras, you are responsible for paying for READERS for the classes you drop later (if another student can't use the materials). Effective this fall, if you are on a waitlist and you drop a class because you got into a class for which you were waitlisted, then you do not have to pay for the reader. This policy regarding readers has been in place to minimize the costs to the program, incurred as people shop around. CLASS REMINDERS: -First-year students register for one section of E203 unless you were waived. -Entrepreneurship REQUIRES the core Finance course (taken in a PRIOR semester). -E239/Investments meets TWO days per week some weeks--Monday/Wednesday -E278/Ethics and E259-3/Managing... are academic one-unit courses ONE-UNIT CLASSES: Register for one-units in our office beginning next Monday. Please keep in mind that the classes are competitive and you are more than likely to only get one. If you really need the units next fall, be sure to sign up for a normal class. If you only want one unit, Ethics and Managing in the Internet Age are much less competitive. REMEMBER: These one-units are not first-come first-serve either, so just sign up next time you are here BY MAY 5. Registration for these courses is not available in TeleBEARS. Here are the dates again: E296-1 Nonprofit Boards, all day September 16 and October 28, 2000. E291B-1 Speaking for Management meets Sept. 16 and Oct. 7 E291B-2 Diversity Management Games meets Oct. 28 and Nov. 11 A NOTE REGARDING THE NEW REGISTRATION SYSTEM USED BY THE DAY PROGRAM: You may have heard from day students that they are using a new registration system to bid for fall classes this month. Day students have always used some kind of system to preregister for classes, while Evening students were using Telebears. The Haas school has made an investment in a computer system known as Online Registrar to allow MBAs (including Evening students) to enroll in classes and "avoid" the hassles of the campus Telebears system. The day program is successfully testing the new system now and we hope that we can make necessary modifications and upgrades so that we can all be online in time for Spring 2001 registration. We'll keep you posted. If you need any help registering, please don't hesitate to call our office at 510-642-1406. I will send you updates as needed. _________________________________________ Shawn Allison, Associate Director Evening MBA Program, Haas School of Business University of California, Berkeley Tel (510) 643-0435 Fax (510) 643-5902
