<p>When do we select our classes? Do we automatically know if we got what we wanted, or do we have to pick alternates and such? Will we have an adviser with us to help pick classes? Thanks in advance.</p>

You should know instantly, with the exception of the Freshman Writing Seminars (FWS). The link above should have links to more info on that lottery. The link above also describes your access to advisors (email contacts, phone etc). </p>
<p>I also refer to you to some of my previous responses that you might find helpful (everything still applies):

I describe how to use a very common tool that is not officially affiliated with Cornell and is perfectly legal and not sketchy and will make your enrollment experience much better</p>
<p>Also, some supplementary information:

Not OP, but thank you, because that post was very helpful. One quick question though - if a class has yet to be posted on either the Schedulizer or official site, does this mean it will not be offered in fall 2013? I’m specifically talking about CS 2112 here, because I can’t find it in either the fall or spring 2013 terms, but could it be that it just wasn’t added yet?</p>
<p>2112 appears to be in the “cornell courses of study” as of right now and not on schedulizer</p>
<p>Hope for an update for their information? Closer to July the official and schedulizer should sync up better. I mean… you guys are really early. Yeah no clue.</p>
<p>Ok well thanks. I can’t seem to find general engineering chemistry either so either I’m doing something wrong or they haven’t updated it yet. I doubt they would not offer both of those classes this fall because general engineering chemistry is probably a pretty popular one.</p>
<p>Definitely not updated at this point. No one would graduate if they dont have gen chem for engineers lol. Come back July. That should be a good time.</p>
<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I’m a Cornell Ambassador and I’m going to give you a few tips for Course Enroll.
They will most likely give you contact information for your faculty advisor before your pre-enroll period (which I think is mid-July or something like that).</p>
<p>First, talk to your advisor (or any advisor) about what a freshman in your program typically takes. This information should also be on the website for your major.
Then, take a look at the requirements for your major. You may want to get some general core ones out of the way, or general college ones out of the way. I know CALS has a site where you can log in and see what classes (in and out of CALS) satisfy certain general distribution requirements. Also brows PE classes if you anticipate passing the swim test.</p>
<p>After that, go to cornell.schedulizer.com or chequerd.com. These are good because you can see all the available sections and cater your schedule to when you want your lunch breaks, etc. You can look by department for classes that you want to add. Freshmen usually take at least 12 credits (4 classes) and at most 18-19 credits (may be more for engineering though). Add in a 1-credit PE class if you’d like.</p>
<p>Then, log into student center with your netID and password. You won’t be able to add, but you can go to “class search”. Use the department and 4-digit # to find the lectures and sections you want. Next to each, there will be a number in parenthesis. This is the class code, different from the #. For example, you might see “AEM 1200: Intro to Business (54321) 9:05 - 9:55 MWF” You should copy down the number in parentheses, and take note of how many open spots are left in that class. Make a list, in order of classes with the least to most spots, of these course codes.
Then, when you enroll, make sure you are logged in ON TIME for your window and just enter the class codes instead of browsing dept>number>section. This makes enrollment SO much faster.
Honestly, enrollment is like the Hunger Games. So be smart about it. But if you mess up (as most incoming freshmen do, I did) it’s okay because you can talk to your advisor/professors during add/drop. Constant e-mailing does work! I got into 2 classes last semester that way.</p>
<p>Hope this helped! Good luck!</p>
<p>Lichte,
That’s great information. Thanks for sharing.</p>
<p>@Lichte. lol… I have to facepalm here. If you clicked through my post you would’ve seen exactly what you just typed out. </p>
<p>Good input on figuring out a freshman schedule in a college other than Engineering though.</p>
<p>@fallenmerc</p>
<p>What’s different about engineering?</p>
<p>Hmmm… I just looked at the website for this year and it doesn’t appear that the following occurs anymore. But here’s what I meant:</p>
<p>Engineering pre-enroll was a form that the CoE sends to the student. Due to the highly structured and mostly uniform requirements of the curriculum, the form basically asks you if you want to take “intro to (engineering discipline/subbranch)” the first semester or second. Some are only offered Spring and others only in the fall. So depending on what you take, you will have the intro class during spring or fall and the programming requirement in the other. The other requirements are more or less set for you both freshman semesters (due to prereqs and such). Of course, if the student had AP credit, there’s more options to deal with but yeah. </p>
<p>From this choice the schedule on studentcenter was made for us without having to enter the classes themselves. However, I think I still needed to sign up for a PE and FWS was not included in “pre enroll” either.</p>
<p>Alright thanks again fallenmerc sorry I’ve been so needy in this thread.</p>
<p>It looks like getting Object Oriented Design and Data Structures first semester is going to be a pain in the ass. Oh well, I have AP credit and refuse to go my first semester without a CS course.</p>
<p>Hahaha @fallenmerc sorry. I don’t mind typing it all out though.</p>
