Conversation Script:

Student 1: Hey, Alex! Have you already registered for your courses next semester?

Student 2: Oh, hey, Jamie. Yeah, I did it yesterday. I had to adjust my schedule a bit, though. It was kind of, um, challenging to find the right classes that fit.

Student 1: I know what you mean. I was looking at the course catalog, and some classes are already full. Did you have any trouble with that?

Student 2: Yeah, actually, a couple of courses I wanted were full, but I managed to get on the waitlist. I also talked to my advisor, and she suggested a few alternatives that might work.

Student 1: That’s smart. I haven’t met with my advisor yet. Do you think it’s necessary?

Student 2: Definitely. They can give you insight on course loads and, um, help avoid any conflicts with your schedule. Plus, they might know about available spots in closed classes.

Student 1: Good point. I should probably set up an appointment soon. Oh, by the way, do you know if there’s a deadline for finalizing our schedules?

Student 2: Let me think... I believe you have until the end of next week to make changes without any penalties. But it’s always good to double-check on the student portal.

Student 1: Right, I’ll do that. Thanks for the heads-up. I guess I’ll also need to finalize my housing application. Have you done yours?

Student 2: Yeah, I submitted it last week. Just make sure to get it in on time; otherwise, you might not get your preferred choice.

Student 1: Got it. Thanks, Alex. I’ll take care of that. See you later!

Student 2: No problem, Jamie. Good luck! See you around.
