Disclaimer: this is the information we found to our best knowledge. If you see anything which isn’t correct, let us know! We are not liable for any fuckery, so don’t come crying to us when you messed up.

This is a guide on how to enroll for your courses. Because the right webpages might be hard to find. Or you are just lazy. Long enough introduction, don’t you think? Let’s go!

ProgressWWW

Progress is the website where you sign up for courses, groups and (re-)exams. Unless mentioned otherwise, that’s where you sign up for your stuff. We assume you can do that part. We will skip the tutorial on signing up. Here’s the link. Figure it out.

The UMCG is a mystical place. Information is hard to find. Their procedures are hell. And their buildings are a maze that will lead you to mysterious rooms filled with unnatural things. You might find traumatised first year students, frozen body parts, or perhaps a coffee machine. In contrast, we didn’t find anything on course registration.

/SLASH

We are Slash, the journal committee UCG used to have and definitely deserves. In the early years of UCG we existed and published issues with ease. But changes in members, caerus budgets and motivation eventually led to Slash slowly fading to the background. But after working in silence over the last year, we are finally returning to the light and do what is expected of us and actually publish our writings. Graciously, Caerus has allowed us to use their website for this.
