Dear Dr. Helpful,
I tried to register for the summer semester, but I am having a problem. The Murphy registration system gives me an error message: "Need a Registration Time Ticket to register for Summer 2008." I want to make sure that I register on time!
Signed,
Ben
Dear Ben,
Registration for Summer and Fall 2008 begins April 1, 2008. No fooling! You will receive an email and postcard that states the day and time that you register.
You can also find your time ticket information on Murphy Online, under "Registration", then "Registration Status."
While I'm on the topic--students register according to how many credits they have completed. The closer you are to completing the program, the earlier you register.
Sincerely,
Dr. Helpful
