<p>here’s the confirmation email, it says they will give us “alot of stuff.” i assume that “stuff” means brochures, class catalogs, and other crap we don’t need</p>
<p>WHAT TO BRING
For the CalSO Program
*Your program confirmation (i.e., this email).
*Unofficial transcripts from your previous college (your major adviser at CalSO may need these to help you with course selection); Art Practice majors will need their portfolio for review.
*Any information sent to you from your College or School, any documents requested by the Financial Aid Office or any paperwork you have questions about.
*Your CalNet ID and passphrase (required to register for your classes at CalSO).
*Complete the “Before orientation” tasks, [All</a> About CalSO](<a href=“http://services.housing.berkeley.edu/NSS/Content/before.html]All”>http://services.housing.berkeley.edu/NSS/Content/before.html)
*Review the online Schedule of Classes, [Home</a> Page - Online Schedule Of Classes](<a href=“http://schedule.berkeley.edu%5DHome”>http://schedule.berkeley.edu).
*A General Catalog may be purchased at the program.
*Pen, pencil, and paper to take notes.
*A photo ID, such as a drivers license or state ID, is required if you wish to get your Cal 1 Card (i.e., your student photo ID).</p>
<p>For your comfort
*A backpack to carry your belongings (we’re going to give you a lot of stuff!).
*Comfortable shoes (a must for the hilly campus terrain).
*A sweater or jacket (the weather in Berkeley is unpredictable). Check this link for weather information:
[Berkeley</a>, California (94701) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground](<a href=“Local Weather Forecast, News and Conditions | Weather Underground”>Local Weather Forecast, News and Conditions | Weather Underground).</p>
<p>For the residence hall
*An alarm clock
*Pajamas or a bathrobe (you will be sharing a room).
*Bedding, a pillow, and towels will be provided in the residence halls.</p>
<p>IF YOU’RE DRIVING
CalSO attendees are strongly encouraged to use public transportation ([Travel</a> by BART](<a href=“http://calso.berkeley.edu/content/travbart.html]Travel”>http://calso.berkeley.edu/content/travbart.html)). Please note that parking is not included in the CalSO program fee and that permit machines require exact change in bills: the rate is $7 per day.</p>
<p>You may park in these campus parking lots on a first-come, first-served basis:
*Underhill Structure on Channing, between College and Bowditch (best location)
*Ellsworth Structure on Ellsworth, between Channing and Haste (limited spots)</p>
<p>All guests will need a CalSO Conference Slip (link below). You will also need to purchase a daily parking permit by 9am for each day you’re at CalSO; this includes early arrival. Both these items must be displayed on your dashboard. You should not park in a “Reserved” space; CalSO is unable to waive or pay for any campus parking violations.</p>
