<p>This may be a bit early, but does anybody know when course registration opens for the fall of 2009?</p>
<p>Also, I just received my NetID...I've applied for housing and am working on applying for a meal plan. What other "applications" can I be taking care of now, if any? :)</p>
<p>Incoming freshmen only manually add courses after they arrive at school in August. (Depending on your college, you may automatically be enrolled in some classes, but you can only autonomously add more or change what you’re given during Add/Drop period, beginning roughly a week before classes start.) Upperclassmen pre-register in April (pre-enrollment for incipient juniors ended today).</p>
<p>At the Arts and Sciences info session during Cornell Days, I’m pretty sure they said that course registration will be online for everyone beginning this year. I might have misunderstood, thuogh.</p>
<p>Traditionally, Arts & Sciences incoming freshmen register for classes in person at Goldwin Smith hall a few days before classes start (all the departments set up shop in various rooms; it’s like a course-registration mall). This may have changed, though, since I was a freshman in 2006… and I don’t know what the regular policy is for new freshmen at other colleges.</p>
<p>Regardless, you won’t register until you arrive on campus. April registration is only for current Cornell students.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info :]</p>

<p>will the same go for transfer students? I’m scare that classes might get filled up… :O!!</p>
<p>Yeah, you’ll register when you get to campus. The only classes that really fill up during April are seminars (there are some 2000-level sophomore seminars and various other small classes, but most of these are 4000-level “senior seminars”), most of which are limited to 15 students (and are required for several majors). Most classes will have room for freshmen/transfers. Not all. But you can always e-mail the professor asking to be added, and in most cases (and certainly in an extreme situation, like if you can’t graduate on time unless you take the class) he/she will let you.</p>
<p>I’m guessing you’re a freshman or sophomore, though, so you really don’t have anything to worry about. :)</p>
