<p>I know that Duke has you register for classes in late June but I have absolutely no idea what to take. At orientation, will there be academic advisors to help me pick classes/change my schedule? Thank you</p>
<p>You will be assigned an academic advisor sometime in late July or early August.</p>
<p>If you are going for Trinity, I would highly recommend emailing one of the people who work with Academic Advising. Last year I sent an email to Michele Rasmussen: <a href="mailto:micheler@aas.duke.edu">micheler@aas.duke.edu</a> and I found her to be helpful. Once you can bookbag (your blue book will let you know the date) I'd advise making a schedule and emailing someone in Academic Advising with your questions. </p>
<p>You will have a meeting with your chosen academic advisor during orientation week. It will be on the schedule, whenever that comes out.</p>
<p>And if you're in Pratt there is basically already a plan for first year (and the rest of college) waiting for you if you choose to follow it on the Pratt website. </p>
<p>If you don't get a chance to talk to someone in advising before bookbagging, its always important to have several (proportional to how late your window is) plans on paper and in your Alternate Bookbag. You'd be surprised how quickly classes fill up and how fast other people can hit a series of buttons at exactly 7:00 AM, haha. </p>
<p>This is just a sidenote and I'm sure registration for you guys is far far away, but if you know your home has a slower or iffy internet connection, you may want to get up a little early and go somewhere you know to have fast service. For me an option would have probably been my local library.</p>
