RE:  Registration info

Here are general tips and information on upcoming registration:

JRN Classes
SUMMER ­ JRN 202 offered in May-June term with no restrictions (one time 
only offer:  may take this 202 section prior to 201). Instructor: Joe 
Sampson.  JRN 418 also offered in May-June term. Instructor: John Lowery.

FALL – New Course – JRN/IMS 303: Online Journalism.  Instructor: Bettina 
Fabos.  No restrictions on course and may count as part of “three of 
following” in JRN major.

JRN 316 – need IMS 101P (desktop publishing) as prereq.

IMS and COM classes: The JRN program does not control these classes.  For 
the IMS 101 one-credit sprint classes, Glenn Platt--director of IMS--opens 
new slots for the class during each registration period so while the 
classes may look closed, they usually have some spots for 1st and 2nd year 
students.  For COM courses that you can’t get into because of restrictions, 
please see Kim Hensley in Mass COM office, Williams Hall, to get on 
waitlist for those courses (let her know you are a JRN major or pre-major).

Waitlists
The Program usually keeps waitlists for the 101 and 201 classes.  BUT I do 
not start a waitlist UNTIL all sections of a course have filled up.  If you 
are still not in class at that point, email me and I’ll put you on the 
waitlist.  For all JRN 101 classes, I open 8 spaces (out of 24) until 2nd 
year students register then I open 6 more spaces.  The college reserves the 
remaining 10 spaces per class for incoming 1st year students.  There are 
also unrestricted sections of 101 and 201 (and also 318) being taught at 
the Hamilton and Middletown campuses in the fall.
