Your Personal Academic Advisor

Course picking at Brock University was one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had. I thought it would be simple, but it turned into hours of stress. The classes I needed were either full or clashed with other requirements, and nothing seemed to fit the way it should. I tried turning to academic advising, but the wait was so long it felt endless. By the time I finally got through, I had already wasted so much energy just waiting for help.

Course registration at Brock felt like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. I had my whole timetable planned out weeks in advance, but when registration opened, everything fell apart. The classes I wanted filled up within minutes, and the system kept crashing right when I was about to confirm. I tried rearranging my schedule over and over, but every option seemed to clash with another requirement. By the end of the day, I wasn’t even sure if I’d be taking the right courses for my degree anymore. It was supposed to be an exciting step forward, but it just left me feeling defeated.

As a Brock student balancing rent, tuition, and groceries, so when course selection chaos hit, I picked up extra shifts to cover fees. Add/drop week turned into “pick work or class,” and I missed key lectures and labs just to keep my account in good standing. The stress snowballed late-night buses, catching up on recordings, and scrambling for notes instead of actually learning.
