Every semester we experience the same hassle at the University of Amsterdam. Problems with our course registration! Endless waiting in ques, proxy errors, and frustration. We believe the system could and should be optimised, for example by having dedicated course registration days per faculty. Please help us to raise awareness by signing this petition. Thanks!

Could they not simply allocate the different faculties and degrees at different times and/or date ?

I was supposed to start work today at 09:00, but because of the course registration I was over an hour late. Your lack of preparation is affecting other peoples' professional lives :)
