<p>I would like to attend the August CTOPS, as I am an out-of-state student, but the august CTOPS session is marked as a session for transfers. Is it the same as the others(marked for first-years) and am I at a disadvantage when registering for classes?</p>
<p>transfers have what is called TSOP. I am an out of state student and will attend the CTOPS in August.</p>
<p>From what I've heard, you may be at a disadvantage when registering for classes but then may be able to move things around during add/drop.</p>
<p>S was in the last group of the last CTOPS in August. he was able to put together an acceptable schedule. The do reserve some class sections for each CTOPS group. However drop/add started the next day and through that process he was able to adjust his schedule more to his liking. You may have to be more flexible about class times though. Good luck to all the new Heels.</p>
<p>Ok...when I go to sign up for orientation, there are 4 sessions marked as "1st year" from July 17-28, and then one session in August marked "Transfer." I'm going to be a first year, but I need to go to a session in August, as I am out-of-state. Is the session open to everybody or just transfers?</p>
<p>You have to call the office and ask for it. They will tell you what to do.</p>
<p>what they told me to do:
Go click on any session. Then submit it. Then call new students office and ask them to change your ctops to august.</p>
