A: Registering for Psychology’s BYOB (blocks 5 and 6). Students who are signing up for Psychology's BYOB courses in blocks 5 & 6 will need to do two things:

• Register for the course sequence pairing as you would any other course.
• ADD two extra general studies placeholder courses "GS391" to fill both blocks (5 & 6). This may look like a course overload but BYOB courses are actually designed as two extended format courses and therefore students will also need two block seminar courses to recognize a full course load; the GS391s will act as this in their place and will be removed once Spring Preregistration is processed in the Fall.

A: Registering for Independent Study, Research, and/or Thesis. Students who are planning an independent study, thesis, or research will need to do two things:

• Complete the required application found on "Our Services" page. Since these are individual blocks, students will have a course created unique for them! Please do not sign up for the course reference in the course schedule for a 1-on-1 block; these are meant to show the blocks and faculty who are available for the course. If your department handles the creation/assignment of independent blocks for majors (i.e. Economics, Sociology, etc.) than follow their instruction and simply follow the second bullet here for Preregistration.
• Once the application is initiated, the general studies placeholder course “GS391” can be used in Preregistration for the given block and will be replaced appropriately once the application has processed. 

A: Registering for less than a full schedule. Students who are planning to take time off will need to do two things:

• If this is your first or only block off, you can now register for this by searching the course schedule for "Block Off".
• If this is your second or additional time away request, work with their Hub Advisor to process the official form. More information about Taking Time Off from CC can be found here.
• Once the paperwork has been initiated, the general studies placeholder course “GS391” can be used in Preregistration for the additional block(s) off and will be replaced appropriately once the paperwork has processed.
