High demand for classes makes registration a hassle for students, but recent budget cuts make it more difficult for students to get into classes necessary for graduation. Limited classroom space and lack of funds to hire more class instructors restricts course availability, said Theresa Thomas, senior academic adviser in the College of Communication. She said some classes with reputations for being easy fill up faster than other classes that satisfy the same requirements. Thomas said compared to astronomy, physical science has a reputation for being one of the “better sciences,” but more students plan to take the course than it can hold. “There just aren’t enough seats for every student to take it,” Thomas said.
