We, the students of AUP hereafter named, formally request that from this semester onward the professors of this institution publish all syllabus information for classes offered the following semester prior to the registration of classes for that semester. We request this in order to make informed decisions on the classes for which we register regarding conflicting due dates, particularly towards the end of the semester. We refer specifically to the dates of exams and the quantity and due dates of research and term papers, projects, presentations, in-class essays, etc. as well as the time and location of professors' office hours.


This information will also be paramount in determining the activities and clubs for which we sign up in the first weeks of the semester.

This will also give us the opportunity to find and purchase books ahead of time for a reduced price. Being forced to purchase books from the school bookstore can be crippling to students' wallets.

I honestly kept refreshing the page expecting the momentum to slow down but it just keeps picking up speed which feels wild. It is honestly such a relief knowing I am not the only one stressed about these textbook costs and mid-semester paper pileups because sometimes it feels like we are all just guessing in the dark during registration.

The bookstore prices are criminal. Getting the syllabus early would at least let me hunt for used copies on amazon before class starts.

it makes literally no sense to register blind. i ended up with 3 finals on the same day last semester because i had no idea until the first week. please fix this!!
