Today marks day two of Tele-BEARS phase two appointments and some UC Berkeley students are having trouble signing up for courses due to an as-of-yet unknown technical problem.
Associate Registrar Walter Wong said that for some unknown reason the system is picking up the wrong appointment time for some students, preventing them from signing up for courses.
The central course registration system has had glitches in the past that erased class waitlists and determined unfair advantages in the appointment times of students at the Boalt Hall School of Law.
In this case, Wong said in many of the instances students were able to sign up for classes after logging in and out a few times. However, that method was ineffective in some cases, and students are still having problems, he said.
According to Wong, the office is currently trouble-shooting to figure out the source of the problem.
