CalSo

<p>Should we be able to register? When I try, I get:</p>

<p>"Whoops! You have attempted to log on to the Cal Student Orientation (CalSO) Program reservation site. Programs are only available to new undergraduates who have completed their Statement of Intention to Register (start here) AND submitted their SIR fee. If you see this message, it may be due to one of the following reasons:"</p>

<p>I did SIR and pay already, the minute I got in. Will it just take a few days to go through? My understanding is that I need to wait till May 1 for housing, is that the case for CalSo as well?</p>

<p>fees take a week or more to process. maybe that’s why</p>

<p>I’ve been looking to get into CalSo too. I haven’t attempted anything yet. I haven’t SIR’d yet either. Why is there a fee to SIR?</p>

<p>Hm, on myChecklist it says:</p>

<p>Statement of Intention to Register (SIR)<br>
Thank you for submitting your SIR. Go Bears!
SIR Fee Payment
We have received your credit card SIR fee payment.</p>

<p>Maybe it still needs a while to process though…? Can anyone log onto the CalSo site?</p>

<p>^ neither from here. But I got my berkeley.edu email though. :D</p>

<p>i registered for summer. but i think we need orientation (online) for fall registration first? not sure at all, but i noticed we can take the orientation starting May 1st. did you see that? would that be the reason? anyway, i did register for summer classes no problem.</p>

<p>spritz—oh yeah. got the email. toot toot!</p>

<p>EDIT: okay, did you see this?</p>

<p>“Complete online advising before TeleBEARS enrollment.”
and i think this is only available after May 1st? just a few more days dudes.</p>

<p>this is for my college. “letters and sciences”</p>

<p>i am just stumbling about myself, so who knows!</p>

<p>@spiritz: I got my e-mail too! Way cool. </p>

<p>@northbeach: I had a feeling that might be the case, but since it didn’t specifically say May 1 on CalSo I just wanted to be sure. I have classes throughout the period they offer CalSo (except for maybe the last one, but I want good classes) so I need to make sure to sign up ASAP to avoid getting it on an exam day or something. I figure if no one else can get in so far it’s all good. Now to wait for May 1. Thanks!</p>

<p>I got the same message too. I SIRed and payed yesterday also. I think we will be able to register after May 1.</p>

<p>okay dudes, what’s the status? have you registered for fall classes yet? or do we really have to take this CalSo orientation thingy and what, pay a fee of 130? i did register for summer classes, no problemo, but i might need to change one later and i am sure that will be a crazy mad experience. haha. but i want to register for my fall classes, any luck yet? i see a list of CalSo dates that start June 7th and wonder if that is because i am just late and the early ones filled up, or they expect us to wait until then to register for courses. if anyone has figured this out, hope to hear from you! go bears!</p>

<p>@northbeach: June 7 actually is the earliest date for CalSo. If you do not go to the CalSo, they will assign you a registration date after CalSo is finished.</p>

<p>thanks moon9kittie! then i guess i am doing as well as i can be. time to start investigating the courses i really want to get into.</p>
