Course Selection...please help

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I need some help with course selection.
<a href="http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/orientation/ENGRI_list.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/orientation/ENGRI_list.cfm&lt;/a>
And : <a href="http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/orientation/CS-Course-List.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/orientation/CS-Course-List.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Questions:
1.) Can we do the course selection with the counsellor, or is it compulsory to do it now itself?
2.) Can we take many ENG courses?
3.) Please suggest the courses I have to take if I'm going to be an ECE major?
4.) Is it possible to take 3-4 Eng courses?</p>

<p>I would appreciate any guidance because I'm yet to recieve my Engineering catalogue due to my international residence and have to decide by June 30th.</p>

<p>why don't you email your advisor and ask for suggestions?</p>

<p>Last year's catalog is online, so all you really need to ask your advisor is whether anything has changed since last year.</p>

<p>Here's the engineering section: <a href="http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Academic/Courses/CoScollege.php?college=ENG%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Academic/Courses/CoScollege.php?college=ENG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Click on "General information" to get started.</p>

<p>And here's the main catalog page:
<a href="http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Academic/Courses/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Academic/Courses/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Follow this and there shouldn't be much problem
<a href="http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/engineering-handbook/2005/major-ece.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/engineering-handbook/2005/major-ece.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Arjun,</p>

<li><p>As far as I understand it (from the information they sent out), they will pre-enroll you in a math course, science course, either COM S 100 or an ENGRI course, ENGRI 150 (the single-credit seminar), and any AEWs you sign up for prior to orientation week. During that week, if you wish to change anything, they have times on the schedule (Aug. 21st and 22nd) for students to meet with their advisors by appointment and change things.</p></li>
<li><p>By ENG courses, do you mean ENGRI intro courses like the ones on the list? Because it wouldn't seem prudent to take many of them considering they are entry-level and only 1 is required.</p></li>
<li><p><a href="http://www.ece.cornell.edu/ugradhndbk/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ece.cornell.edu/ugradhndbk/&lt;/a> ... Or are you talking about ENGRI courses again?</p></li>
<li><p>Isn't this the same question as #2?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>wait, so how exactly do we enroll in other classes (other than pre-enrollment). Do we enroll in other classes online, through our bear account?</p>

<p>Also, how exactly do I download eudora (the cornell software) onto my computer. I tried to get stuff off of my bear access account, but i am kind of confused.</p>

7

<p>Eudora is just an email client.</p>

8

<p>but we still do our course enrollment online, or as freshman do we do it at orientation</p>

<p>live-, yes, I did mean ENGRI courses.</p>

<p>Spanks, I don't know who my advisor is. As I said, mail reaches me almost a month late because I live in India.</p>

<p>btw, Can we select the courses during Orientation or is it mandatory to select it now itslef?</p>

10

<p>You can't email Cornell and ask?</p>

11

<p>Oh, that I did. I maile Cornell Engineering today morning itself. I thought you were referring to the academic advisor...and I'm yet to know who will be my advisor at Cornell.</p>

<p>wow, you have to decide on everything before June 30th? that's crazy</p>
