<p>it seems like some people already have</p>
<p><a href=“http://schedule.berkeley.edu/[/url]”>http://schedule.berkeley.edu/</a></p>
<p>I want some of those classes!</p>
<p>I’m not familiar at all with this stuff because I’m only an incoming freshwoman, but what’s the deal with waitlisting people when there’s space available in the class?</p>
<p>I think we pick classes at CalSO. Be patient.</p>
<p>seniors get priority, then it descends by class... that explains why some people have already signed up</p>
<p>so when's the date when freshmen can sign up?</p>
<p>CalSO is the day you sign up for your first 10.5 units:</p>
<ul>
<li>June 6-June 7 (Letters & Science, Natural Resources)
<ul>
<li>June 10-June 11 (Letters & Science)</li>
<li>June 13-June 14 (Chemistry, Environmental Design, Engineering, Natural Resources)</li>
<li>June 20-June 21 (Letters & Science)</li>
<li>June 24-June 25 (Chemistry, Environmental Design, Engineering, Natural Resources)</li>
<li>June 27-June 28 (Letters & Science)</li>
<li>July 1-July 2 (Letters & Science)</li>
<li>July 8-July 9 (Letters & Science)</li>
<li>July 11-July 12 (Letters & Science)</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>Typically getting what you reeeeally want won't be a big problem since the seniors, juniors and sophomore will have only picked their first 10.5 units as well. Just FYI, current students are picking classes now and will continue to do so until the 29th of April.</p>
<p>They'll go over in detail which classes to pick when during CalSO, so don't sweat it.</p>
<p>problem* -> I'll be in another country when this rolls around.</p>
<p>If you can't attend CalSO, there are provisions for you to sign up, but it's something of an ordeal and you basically pick your classes after everyone is done signing up for their first 10.5 units (also known as Phase I). Check the website for more info.</p>
<p>What is CalSO exactly?</p>
<p>The unit cap is 30 right?</p>
<p>Does that mean that the rest are chosen during Phase II?</p>
<p>Unit cap, if I'm not mistaken, is 22.5 or something around that. An ideal workload is 15 units per semester...don't try to be a big shot and try to take massive amounts of units your first semester. You think you're hot stuff, but this ain't high school.</p>
<p>CalSO is short for Cal Student Orientation. Basically, you get to get acquainted with the campus, learn where the important things are, and figure out how to best plot out the next four years of your life.</p>
<p>And yes, Phase II is when you sign up for the rest of your classes.</p>
<p>you pick 10.5 during phase 1
and the rest during phase 2</p>
<p>well actually, its more like 20.5 for phase 2, up to 20.5 max (but you really don't want to sign up for 20.5 units)</p>
<p>what abt int'ls? how am i supposed to attend calso? :/</p>
<p>How hard is it to pick classes in chemistry if ur CalSo date is near the end? Because it's a smaller school, are msot classes taken by then?</p>
