Check List For New Students

Master
---+++ Check your registration status (as a student). 

Have you completed your registration procedure or are you still marked as "pre-active"? 

Where: student administration office.

---+++ Register for you first courses, and get the needed books ASAP!

Your first courses are probably  [[SoftwareEngineering][Software Engineering]] and [[FunctionalProgrammingLanguagesAndCompilers][Functional Programming Languages And Compilers]]. If you did your bachelor here at CS Utrecht you probably don't need the second one, and can choose an elective course.
