<p>the only restrictions on what you can sign up for are 1) pre-requisites and 2) space available. </p>

<p>Some classes have space set aside in multiple categories, for example they might have space for juniors and seniors, space for those in a particular major, or other striata to ensure that various categories have appropriate chances to register. The majority of classes are simple - space for anyone until it is filled - but some have those categories. You will see the bands if they exist when you click the link “Click here for current enrollment information and restrictions” at the bottom of the class listing on schedule.berkeley.edu</p>

<p>As a freshmen, if you don’t attend CalSO, are you completely screwed when you have to sign up for classes?</p>

<p>you will receive an advisor code and date for registering that is behind many but not all entering freshmen. The earlier the CalSO date, the better the choice of classes. </p>

<p>As an entering freshman, there are so many possible classes you could take in your first semester - pre-reqs for the major, reading/writing required courses, american culture requirement, breadth classes, etc – that the later people registering may have to be a bit more flexible but you can certainly sign up for a fully productive use of your semester making as much progress towards your degree as anyone else.</p>

<p>I’m a business major. Should I take stats 20 or stats 21? I know stats 21 is for “business” but i’m not sure which one i’ll do better in…and which professor to take it with … better yet…what semester to take it?</p>

<p>I am currently a 3rd year undergrad Architecture major student In Berkeley, and I want to know if there is a “limit” on how many P/NP courses one can take without having it look bad on the transcript.</p>

<p>I have also take 4 De cal courses in the past (I even taught one actually) and I was wondering if grad schools will look upon those P/NP grades negatively, even though they are only DECALS. I actually received an NP on one of them due to complications, i even petitioned for it, but it didn’t work out and now there’s an ugly NP on my transcript from a DECAL class I took freshmen year. :[</p>

<p>I have also taken a music course to fulfill one of my lower div requirements and I got a P on it, I just recently changed one of my upp div Landscape course so I can focus on the other classes that actually count towards my major (that class doesn’t really necessary fulfill my requirements towards my major), I was wondering if I made the right choice by taking it P/NP.</p>

<p>I have an above 3.0 GPA, I kind of realized there are quite a few P/NP courses on my transcript (even 1 NP), and I am scared that grad schools will dislike it.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if I’m posting this in the right place because I’m new to this but I’ll try here!</p>

<p>I’m currently a freshman at Berkeley and a pre-psych major. I wanted to take MCB N61 this summer (online class) taught by Professor Presti as a pre-requisite. Does anyone know if the grades for the class are based solely on the final we take on campus at the end or if there will be some type of online homework/quizzes/tests? Thanks!!</p>

<p>@badoink </p>

<p>Take it over the summer, 60% As versus hard curve of 20-25% As</p>

<p>@ scotto3394</p>

<p>And Business Administration is a B.S…imagine that</p>

<p>@gocalbears33 - N courses indicate online, BUT final MUST be taken at U.C. Berkeley</p>

<p>I think most quizzes & such are online though :smiley: including homework submission</p>

<p>I got accepted, but what i’m most afraid of is the academic pressure. </p>

<p>I mean, since the UC is graded on a bell curve, I assume that means in EVERY class there are people who are getting D’s and F’s. Since this is BERKELEY, that would mean I would be competing with some pretty insanely ambitious top-notch students. </p>

<p>Can anyone give me any insight?</p>

<p>Hi there! I planned on attending the freshman summer session (session D July 6th - August 13th). I want to take PSYCH 1 with simon-thomas, it’s 3 units. Does anyone know if the course load is super heavy? Would you recommend taking more than 1 class? Thanks!</p>

<p>I received an acceptance letter from Berkeley today. However, after reading over the terms of acceptance I read that if a student were to withdraw from a course of their current semester they may get rejected. I am a transfer student, completed IGETC and over 60 transferable semester units, but withdrew from a course that was not a prerequisite for my major (economics). I am wondering whether of not this may compromise my chances of getting in.</p>

<p>Contact them immediately in writing, this way you will get a waiver in writing or know right away if they consider it an issue. </p>

<p>Mostly those conditions are there because they are assessing the degree of difficulty of planned work and don’t want to have people fill out insane schedules that they don’t actually take just to gain admittance. This certainly is an issue for freshmen applicants but not sure how it is evaluated for transfers.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am confused about the 60 Unit Requirements ([Degree</a> Requirements-Summary of Degree Requirements](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirements/intro.html]Degree”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirements/intro.html)) in the College of L&S:
"120 total units, including at least 60 L&S units "</p>

<p>I am a transfer student so do I still need to do 60 units at Berkeley? Does summer count?</p>

<p>I’m not a Cal student yet, but yeah that’s what it means. You need to complete 120 units total, and only 60 units can transfer from CC so that leaves 60 units to be completed at Cal.</p>

<p>Hey, </p>

<p>My major is Engineering - Undecided, and right now I have absolutely no idea what classes I’m gonna take my freshman year. I checked out the general catalog, but there are a thousand courses there. I got 5s on my Calc BC, Physics Cs, Chem. </p>

<p>Any direction is appreciated.</p>

<p>Look over this document: [Breadth</a> Requirements](<a href=“http://www.engr.udel.edu/advise/breadth_req.html]Breadth”>http://www.engr.udel.edu/advise/breadth_req.html)</p>

<p>Also schedule an appointment with your counselor.</p>

<p>I know that this question has probably been asked to death, but is there any where I can live (either on campus or off) that would be safe (if I have to walk home alone at night, i want to do without the fear of getting mugged) and still have a good amount of time to get to class?</p>

<p>u smoke the ganja?</p>

<p>no i do not.</p>
