<p>When was the final date for deciding you will attend Vanderbilt? Have all the incoming freshmen registered for classes yet?</p>
<p>I think the decision/notification date is May 1st, as it is for pretty much all universities.</p>
<p>First year students are registering now for classes, either by attending the academic orientation sessions scheduled for the next few weeks, or else online.</p>
<p>We can register online?!? I sent mine in the mail. oops.</p>
<p>how are classes assigned? if someone send in their requests earlier than another person, do they get preference? or is there a deadline?</p>
<p>I messed up by saying there was online registration - I'm probably wrong about that. I think that registration info should be in people's orientation packets. I dimly remember something about kids who aren't going to SAOP being able to speak with an advisor by phone about what classes to choose. At that point I made the assumption that they'd register electronically for those classes, but again, I'm probably wrong. Sorry!</p>
<p>My daughter went to the first SAOP session but was told that would not give her preference for her requested classes - apparently the registrar's office waits until all first year students have requested classes before actually assigning them (I'm not sure in what order that's done). I'm sure there is a deadline, but can't look it up now. Your advisor should be able to tell you. The new AXLE core curriculum needs a bit of explaining, or at least my daughter thought so.</p>
<p>Class choice is assigned based on class seniority. Which means most of you guys are out of luck :(.</p>
<p>How do they define seniority?</p>
<p>If you enter Vanderbilt in Fall of 2005, you are a freshman at least until the spring, regardless of how many hours you have coming in.</p>
<p>From then on, it becomes something like:
54 hours to be a junior.
86 hours to be a senior.</p>
<p>Don't know sophomore because I skipped that one ;).</p>
