Don't freight! You may have heard horror stories about students unsuccessfully registering for courses. However, if you plan ahead, ask questions (BEFORE HAND, not the day of), and have a clear understanding of what it is you want to take, and then you should be fine.
I agree, registration is rather nerve racking in the event the online web registration system fails (that's technology for you), or you attempt to register but a message comes back stating that you have to get clearance (Plan ahead!), and or you see that there is space remaining in a class that you wanted to take but once you've selected to commit changes to your registration, you get a message that the class is CLOSED (that's the luck of the draw).
Tips for registration:
~Become acquainted with the registration personnel
~Plan ahead
~Ask Questions
~Be proactive
~Avoid asking question the day of registration
~Be at a computer 5 minutes prior to your registration time, waiting for the clock to strike your exact registration time so that you can go clicking away. Oh, it helps to have the course numbers/class schedule readily available.
Deep breathing exercises may work to reduce some of the anxiety you experience around registration.
