<p>I'm going on 7/2. I'm kind of worried because I need to register for my last pre-req (Media Studies 10) and don't know if it will be full. Are you guys paying the extra money to stay there the night before? I decided to go ahead and do it.</p>
<p>I’m doing the one here in So Cal which is June 19.</p>
<p>Tiberus-How do you sign up for that? I only make $500/mo, I should qualify. I’m the definition of poor.</p>
<p>I qualified for a Pell Grant so they let me sign up for that one.</p>
<p>Really? That sucks, I don’t understand how you could have gotten screwed over by FA at every institution.</p>
<p>What happened is that I worked full-time for the first 3 months of 2008 and when I quit my job, I was owed a decent chuck for unpaid vacation and sick time/benefits. I then started working part-time. Because of this, it looks like I make WAY more money than I do now. It is a difference of $19k vs. $7k. I have documentation, but everyone knows that these things take FOREVER to process. :-(</p>
<p>I’m attending the CalSo on July 2nd. I know that we can sign up for fall classes then, but do we need to bring transcripts with us?? I remember reading something about bringing them, but I can’t remember where I saw it.</p>
<p>Vmason-They want you to bring your unofficial transcripts so that the person helping you can see them if need be. However, our official transcripts are due on 7/15, so I think I am just going to bring them with me and walk them in.</p>
<p>Thanks KC Sunshine. I already had my transcripts sent, so I’ll just have to get another one.</p>
<p>^^I believe unofficial is fine, but double check.</p>
<p>going June 11th…which is next week.</p>
<p>I cant wait.</p>
<p>I’m going June 17 and remember seeing a bunch of stuff L&S students had to do beforehand . . . but the CalSO page annoys me and I won’t bother with it for a few weeks yet. </p>
<p>Ummmmm . . . . if you lived an hour-and-a-half / two-hour drive from the university, would you try to get overnight accommodations if they’re still available?</p>
<p>FeeFee-I would. The program starts at 7am!</p>
<p>I’m going on July 2nd. Doing the overnight thing because it’s summer and quite frankly - waking up at 7 in the morning is not my thing…</p>
<p>Ok, I have a question. Are accommodations provided? I am confused b/c the website is so vague. I pay $110 for what exactly? Is that just for the program or do we stay overnight as well? It asked me if I want to stay the night before for an extra $32 and I said yes, but what about the night after?</p>
<p>$110 is for the orientation alone- doesn’t include the overnight stay.</p>
<p>I actually received a deduction from Financial Aid and only had to pay $55…</p>
<p>Dang. So we have to find a hotel if we need to stay the night after? This isn’t going well so far. LOL!</p>
<p>the 110 includes room and board the day of your CalSO…it is an extra 32(i think) dollars if you want a room the night BEFORE your Calso.</p>
<p>So I only had to pay $55 because I’m not rooming the day of orientation?</p>
<p>i have no idea…i doubt it though.</p>
<p>i would call and ask.</p>
<p>Well if it’s included I might as well stay overnight. I’ll send them an email.</p>
