<p>Because… WOAH! There are suddenly A LOT!</p>
<p>Also, do freshman register for courses online during the summer, or at orientation? There’s a time-slot at orientation called “Course Registration” but if I am going in late August won’t that be a little late?</p>
<p>Yeah… I am just getting this figured out myself. Apparently, you register for classes via Telnet:</p>

<p>a LOT of tabs is better than five. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Dear Savs : You will register for your freshman courses during your orientation session - it is one of the scheduled activities during the three day introduction.</p>
<p>Savs, Scottj is right – you will register for your classes during your orientation. Don’t worry about being in the last – late August – session. For the most frequent freshman classes – Freshman Writing Seminar, Perspectives, freshman topic seminars, Courage to Know, etc. – they hold a proportionate number of seats open for students in each of the orientation sessions so that students registering last (who are usually students coming from far away) are not at a major disadvantage in terms of getting the classes they want.</p>
<p>My son attended Orientation #7 last August and he was able to get most of the classes he wanted for the first semester. He couldn’t get the history core class he wanted (so he just postponed taking it until sophomore year) and signed up for a philosophy core class instead. And he didn’t have too many choices available for his science core requirement, because he was looking for just a one-semester class (since he already had one science credit for AP Physics). It was no big deal.</p>
<p>YES im wicked overwhelmed by the tabs - it went from like five simple ones to thirty and it covers my entire screen!!</p>
<p>Try logging into “portal . bc . edu”</p>
<p>It’s ideally the same thing, but much more organized and official. Also, it has a link to your student email, and it actually works unlike many failed attempts at logging in via webmail. This Agora site is the official and exclusive student site, whereas the old Agora was for applicants.</p>
<p>hey guys, i’m a pre-frosh and i haven’t signed up for housing app yet (i know it’s really late) and i don’t see “my res life” anywhere now!!! is the housing app closed already??? oh no!!! @_@</p>
<p>Thanks for the answer on the course registration thing… I would definitely rather sign up at registration than try and figure it all out online.</p>
<p>yuna, log on the bc website (not agora) and MY RES LIFE shows up.</p>
