<p>anyone know when they release the list of next semesters courses?</p>
<p>The list of courses are out already. Go to: [Binghamton</a> University - Schedule of Classes](<a href=“http://bubrain.binghamton.edu/schedule.html]Binghamton”>http://bubrain.binghamton.edu/schedule.html). Once you are there click “detailed public schedule” and you can search the classes for the fall.</p>
<p><a href=“https://buonline.binghamton.edu/banner/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched[/url]”>https://buonline.binghamton.edu/banner/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched</a>
choose the fall 2009 semester – then you’ll be able to search by subject or by gen ed.</p>
<p>realize that current students have already pre-registered – so not only are the courses already posted, they already have people registered in them. so when you are looking at possible classes to take, always check enrollment to get an idea how easy it may be to get in (though they supposedly hold some spaces for freshmen that are opened for each orientation session - so always check again closer to the time you will be registering – which should be at orientation) – if after you do the above search you click on the name of a course it will bring up the enrollment numbers.</p>
<p>there is also a site created by a student called bingbuilder (bingbuilder.com) that lets you look up courses and then look at sample schedules – it can be very helpful, but its not “official” - so also check the official listings as well.</p>
<p>You can also go to schedulizer.com to do the same thing if you want but again it is not official either. However, both these sites come in handy when you are trying to fit the classes you want it.</p>

Capacity Actual Remaining
Seats 216 189 27</p>
<p>There is only 27 spots remaining in this class when I register? Im confused.</p>
<p>intro courses especially are likely to be courses in which additional seats for freshmen are opened up for each orientation – so check the enrollment numbers right when you are there for orientation. and supposedly they open spaces for each orientation so that there isn’t supposed to be an advantage to going to an earlier orientation.</p>
<p>one thing i thought i’d add about using bingbuilder and the importance of checking the official site – some sections of a given class may be limited as to who can enroll - for example, there are sections of calc 1 that are limited to engineering students – i don’t think bingbuilder shows that, so if you rely solely on bingbuilder you could end up planning to take a section you may not be eligible to enroll in. another example – sometimes sections were limited to people in a specific residential community (i think that was because of learning communities, so i’m not sure how much of that will exist this fall).</p>
<p>so bingbuilder is a very helpful tool – but don’t forget to check the official listings as well – you’ll get more of a description of the course there also.</p>
<p>one more fyi – a large lecture class (like bio 117) – may also have several smaller discussion sections or lab sections as well as the lecture (sometimes both) – you have to register for one of each. so make sure you also check which of those other sections also fit your schedule and have openings (but again, check when you go for orientation to see what seats have opened).</p>
