Class Registration!

Hi everyone! I hope your life is going swell! It is a Friday morning here in Colorado and we had a mini snow storm in our area! It will most likely be melted by the end of the day because the sun is out and shining! Finals week for me is approaching and I am feeling the affects of it! So many papers, So little time. The countdown is getting shorter and shorter for the DCP as each day comes and I am definitely getting excited for what's to come! My roommates and I constantly talk about how excited we are for this new adventure and I just cant wait to meet them all!


Okay. So 2 days ago on the 16th, registration opened on DORMS for everyone to register for the classes they want! There are different categories in which you can register and for me I just registered for the Distance Learning since I will be taking classes from my campus.
So what are these different categories that you can choose from you ask??? Well I will tell you right now!!


1) The first tab that you will see is "Which course is right for you?"
For me there were no classes on this tab but I am sure they will be available to others that are actually wanting to take the Disney offered classes.


2) The second tab is called "Disney exploration seminar series"
Something to note while going through the site is if you are not interested in the different sections you can just click the "I am not interested in blah blah blah tab" Each section has one.
For this tab there were some classes listed and on the right you could see if it was free or if it costs money. The first class is Disney Heritage which is one of the most popular classes that Disney offers this one closes very fast so if you want it, make sure you write in your planner when the registration opens and make sure your internet connection is really good. Some of the other classes that are offered are: Disney Cast Engagement & Human Resources, Disney Hopitality & Guest Service.... Just classes that help you learn how Disney operates and how they are successful. I wont include every class just a couple from each section.

3) The third tab is called "Disney Professional Development Studies"
This is one that is more specific for people within that major. There was only 2 listed here and you would definitely have to be interested in those topics to do them! haha!

4) The fourth tab is called "Collegiate courses"
This one is definitely specific to interests of different people. There are a lot of corporate options, some hospitality options and some leadership options! There are some fees with this one and some of the other tabs as well.

5) The final tab is called "Distance Learning"
This is the one that I signed up for! I am taking 2 classes from my university and also getting internship credit. By signing up in this tab, I am able to get my hours capped and have some time to do homework. They have to approve the time and I may not always get that time off to do it but its nice to have that option if I need to use it. You will have to submit documentation that you are taking classes.

Something to note about the education registration and just the DORMS site in general is when you have these sign ups that you have to complete, everyone is trying to do them at the same time. That being said, the site crashes over and over again and you feel like you want to pull your hair out. I was at work when I signed up and I was going crazy. I would get to the last page to where I can confirm and it would crash. I went on the Facebook page and some people said to try using chrome and so I did and it worked!
So just make sure to stay calm in this whole process because its painful and a lot of people do want those classes!

Let me know if you have any questions!
See ya real soon,
