Um... Pre-registration is broken?
EDIT: So, yeah, it's back up. Yeah, I missed getting into a class because it was screwed up too. Good luck with your schedule.
So far as I can tell, WesMaps thinks it's drop/add time for our current schedules, instead of adjustment-period time for next semester's schedules. Adjustment period starts for the first batch of people in twenty minutes... Is anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, but I have no idea how adjustment really works anyway. Maybe it's set to start working when the adjustment period opens. Which I thought was today and just lasted for a week or so, but apparently it happens in batches.
It starts different days for different people, depending on how many courses you've gotten so far. If you have less than three, then you get to start adding classes with seats today (so the folks who didn't do so hot in the first part get the first pick now). If you have three, it starts tomorrow, and if you have four, the next day. I think.
It would be nice if it was magically fixed at 8:00. I guess we'll find out.
I'm glad it's not just me, though.
Nope. Okay...
It's still fuckd up for you, right?
yeah me too
Its screwed up for me too!
me too
i cant believe i woke up this early and its broken. Fuck you registrar office.
Is there somebody we should call? What do we do?
And they dont even open till 8:30 so I can't even call now.
agh so frustrating, i´m abroad and i have class and this needs to happen nowwww
AHHH! sbfosbgsobgsbg. Fuck it's not working for me as well.
I left a message for the assistant registrar, and sent her an email...
OHH NOOO...IT HAPPENS TO ME TOO... SHITTTTTTTT
what the fuck?!
I am calling at 8:30 if this thing isn't fixed by then. Shit, I have class at 9!
way to be on top of things noa. mine isn't working either....this is frustrating. i want to go back to sleep
This sucks. I have better things to be doing than refreshing the page in hopes it will be back to normal.
This is total bullshit. Those of us who got hosed in the pre-registration and only got in to 1 or 2 courses but were responsible and pro-active enough to get up early to adjust our schedules are getting hosed again.
Yesterday, I went in to add some courses to my planner and it was worse than broken -- it was reporting that I got into ZERO classes (I had actually gotten two). I bolted to the registrar's office and was informed that there was a programmer working on the issue.
Now this.
I'm sure there's something "fair" about the lottery nature and technical break-downs of pre-reg, but I much prefer systems that register students on a first-come first-served basis. Imagine a world in which preparation pays off, in which the early bird gets the worm.
It ain't Wesleyan.
Not cool, Wesleyan. Not cool.
If they knew there was something wrong with the program they could've sent a goddamn email. Do they have any idea how inconvenient this is? Or how this might completely screw up our semesters?
close your browsers and try it again!!!!!!
It's fixed!
blechhh
At this point, I think they should keep the whole thing shut down until they can give us at least 8 hrs notice, seeing how we're all awake early, have classes today, and have been pwned by pre-reg.
great, I wasn't one of the first people to realize it was back up, and then all the seats in the class I wanted were gone. The whole point of staggering the system and giving us a definite start time is for everyone to have a fair chance. If it randomly starts working around 8:25 instead of 8, it ceases to be fair. Now my schedule is messed up. Thanks, registrar!
Yeah, I think it would have been more appropriate to offset adjustment one day so that we are all still on the same page, instead of making it go away real quick and pretending like it didn't happen...
I might have done the same thing though, if I were the programmer responsible for making it work...
I decided to take a shower while it was down and also didn't catch it as it went up, and missed getting into a class.
Noa,
