<p>Anyone know when the fall 09 freshmen can start registering for courses?</p>
<p>You’ll be contacted by your department heads in the summer to guide you through the first semester process - what courses you need to take, what sections are open to you as a fall semester freshman, etc.</p>
<p>Don’t count on 1st semester registration to be the same as it will be later.</p>
<p>Not sure if they’ve changed it since I was a freshman ages ago, but we used to fill out a form about our preferences and mailed it back to CMU. You found out which classes you got a few weeks before classes started (I think the same time they gave us housing assignments).</p>
<p>For my son in CS signing up for course involved emailing with the freshman advisor. There must have been some glitches in the system because I remember there was a young woman on the floor of his dorm whose first order of business was to get put into a different level of computer class, because she thought they’d put her in the wrong one. (Didn’t seem to be a big deal.)</p>
