My Week
If Clackamas Community College’s past online registration experience holds true, at 11:59 p.m. on the eve of early registration next week, countless students will log onto the myClackamas portal at once. Inevitably, the system will crash. Early registration for the winter term begins on Nov. 16. The Information Technology Services department has performed maintenance to strengthen the myClackamas portal before next week’s onslaught. However, many students on campus are expecting the usual first-day crash. It’s a common scenario associated with early registration and one with which Darryl McCoy, part-time technician for the ITS department, is familiar. McCoy answers calls for the student helpdesk. “It’s usually just at the beginning of the term that we get calls with students having trouble with the system being slow,” McCoy said. Students concur that it’s a temporary inconvenience. “I just register later and hope I get the classes. I don’t like how often (myClackamas) crashes. You end up having to come to campus and it’s fixed by then. So you’ve wasted gas money and trips,” said second-year student Megan Pearson. Another second-year student, Courtney Ebarb, said, “Sometimes the day of registering, when it’s so backed up that you can’t get through, that is frustrating. I don’t want to get in that huge line to register.”
