<p>I really hope everything goes smoothly. </p>
<p>Also, does anyone know if super shuttle can take you straight to penthills because I’m flying down to orientation and I was just curious. </p>
<p>Thank you his for all your help, you all ease my paranoia and my nerves.</p>
<p>@42327119: thank you so much! i just hope they input the scores in by this week since its due july 15th. </p>
<p>also… just maybe…what happens if it turns our my scores didn’t get sent and i miss the deadline??</p>
<p>@davesprite: If you’re flying into Ontario, the blue Super Shuttle will take you to Pentland Hills. Just make sure you know the address (1 Pentland Way, Riverside, CA 92507)</p>
<p>@singblues: No problem. If the scores didn’t get sent, you can (1) order a new score report to be sent to UCR or (2) take the copy that they sent you in the mail to your academic advisor. I know that during orientation they’ll ask you whether or not you sent in your AP scores, and if you didn’t, you can give the score report to your academic advisor and they’ll take care of it. That’s what I did last year.
-There isn’t really a deadline like with high school transcripts; they’re way more lenient with AP scores.</p>
<p>@42327119 Thank you so much! </p>
<p>Man… I just got my AP scores and I didn’t pass… I’ll have to take English 4 in the fall and I feel like I’ve let myself down because English was always my strongest and I thought for sure that I’d get into English1A. I feel so terrible and disappointed in myself…</p>
<p>There is also the PrimeTime Shuttle, which is a bit cheaper than SuperShuttle.</p>
<p>@dave: No problem :)</p>
<p>Don’t stress over the AP scores, most incoming first years take English 4 in the fall. English may be your strongest subject but it is different in college than high school. College professors grade so much more differently than high school teachers. Just think of taking English 4 as your way of brushing up/improving your writing skills. I had to take English 4 and it improved my writing so much. It’s also cool that it is a five unit class instead of a four unit class. Oh, and you’ll have an easier time getting your English classes if you begin with English 4 (at least that’s how it was this past school year).</p>
<p>@42327119 Thanks for reassuring me, hopefully I can do well in that class and take 1A winter quarter. Everything is all so complicated and such > < I just want to graduate on time and get everything sorted out.</p>
<p>so i got this in my r’mail. does this mean i Have to take summer bridge? before this, i thought i would still be on track. what’s more is that it conflicts with my orientation date.</p>
<p>According to the UCR Student Information System, your Mathematics Advisory Exam (MAE) score resulted in your placement into Pre-Calculus, Math 5. As an incoming College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences freshman you should strongly consider taking the course above this Summer through UCRs Summer Bridge program. Since Mathematics is the foundation of science, for CNAS students who have placed into English 4, if you wish to enroll in UCRs Summer Bridge Program it is crucial that you enroll in MATH rather than ENGLISH this summer.</p>
<p>Passing the Pre-Calculus course this Summer will enable you to enroll in Freshman Calculus and Freshman Chemistry in the Fall, and Freshman Biology in the Winter so that you will be on schedule during your first year at UCR. If you do not take the course above this summer, your progress in the sciences and your graduation will most likely be delayed.</p>
<p>The UCR Summer Bridge Program runs from July 29 through September 15, 2012. Some students will qualify for financial aid which may cover all or part of the costs of the program. Campus housing options are also available for students who live more than 40 miles from campus. More information regarding this program can be found at the following website:</p>
<p>@sunnyfish: They’re strongly suggesting you take Summer Bridge but you don’t have to do so. They’re just trying to bs with you and say that you won’t graduate on time if you don’t take this one class over summer. If don’t take it, you could still graduate on time, so there’s no need to worry. They probably just want more money from you.</p>
<p>They send a lot of people that same message. I know a few freshmen who did take Summer Bridge last year. It doesn’t always help everyone because taking it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get the classes you need. I hope I’m making some sense.</p>
<p>@42327119: oh so i don’t have to worry about sending it in by july 15th? because i have my orientation in the beginning of august.
i just hope that they have my ap scores but they’re inputting my scores late because my friend already got her ap score received.</p>
<p>@singingblues: Nope, you don’t really have to worry about the July 15th date. If your scores aren’t inputted by your orientation date (which I really doubt would happen) just remember to bring your score report. Then when you meet up with students in your major/academic advisor, you can just give it to him or her. They really help you out a lot with everything you need to take care of at orientation.</p>
<p>Im so glad i found this thread.
many questions!
so, i have orientation tomorrow, and i know we’ll be registering for classes.
<p>thank you! :]</p>
<p>@42327119: oh whew! thank you so much! you really helped me a lot! thank you!! :D</p>
<p>@famfam4:
<p>-Have a good time at orientation tomorrow! It is so much fun. Be sure to bring a lot of sunblock and water. I was in Riverside earlier today and the weather was awful. Also, since you’re a commuter, definitely check out the student org fair on day 1. All of the fraternities/sororities (yeah, I know, I’m a little biased) and most clubs will be there. Join one and it will make life as a commuter way better.</p>
<p>Can anyone let me know what time to be present at orientation? My orientation is on the 23/24.</p>
<p>@famfam4: </p>
<p>I’m a commuter, too. For Fall quarter, be aware that the main parking lot (Lot 30) fills up before 10 AM. It gets better in the Winter/Spring quarters (not sure why - maybe commuters are finding other ways to get to school?), but if your classes start after 10, plan on either trying to follow someone back to their car in Lot 30 or locate the other available parking lots. </p>
<p>With a gold permit, you can park in Lot 26, which is up behind the Riverside Sports Complex, or you can park Lot 50, which is behind the Extension Center across from the University Village. They’ll show up on the campus map you receive at orientation, or you can go here any time: [UCR</a> Campus Map Beta](<a href=“http://campusmap.ucr.edu/imap/index.html]UCR”>http://campusmap.ucr.edu/imap/index.html)</p>
<p>Finding parking is a pain, but pretty unavoidable if you want a decent class schedule.</p>
<p>@teobeo94:</p>
<p>Check-in is from 8:30 - 9:00 AM. There will be signs directing you to Pentland Hills. Try to plan on being there at 8:30 AM because Monday traffic might be a pain. Here’s a good resource: [Is</a> Your Orientation Session Today?](<a href=“http://orientation.ucr.edu/general-information/Pages/today.aspx]Is”>Home | Highlander Orientation)</p>
<p>@ elisebear Thanks so much! (again lol)</p>
<p>After reading previous posts, does it mean that I don’t have to send my ap scores (if I didn’t send them before) and can just bring my score report to orientation to record it? Or am I understanding the information wrong…</p>
<p>You need to officially send your AP scores in because UCR needs official records from College Board. The reason you should also bring your AP scores to orientation: as a back-up. In the event your data hasn’t been processed yet by the university, your adviser can work with your paper scores to help determine your academic credit and stuff.</p>
<p>alright thanks! I’ll send it now then :)</p>
