<p>To any of you guys who returned from orientation: When you say “get in line early” do you show up 5 minutes early? 15 minutes? One hour? And how long is the “window of time” in which one can actually register? Finally, can anyone tell me what priority persons with last name starting with “K” would fall?</p>
<p>Sorry, I should clarify, somebody on a different thread mentioned a “split” alpha or some such. Does registration begin with the A’s and end with the Z’s?</p>
<p>I posted earlier about registering from home. My daughter was able to add a class after orientation, that was listed as sold out at the first orientation. I believe that anyone might be able to log on and register from home on a friday. You should check the schedule for registration, and log on when your last name is scheduled. This might be a good work around. We were able to add a class mid week. My D tried to add the frosh signature course twice from home. On Wednesday, of this week, she was able to. Give it a few shots, it might not hurt. E#specially, if oyu have a late orientation.</p>
<p>socaldad42, thanks. I did take note of your post. However, I would love it if D came home with the perfect schedule such that we aren’t logging on and checking repeatedly for the rest of the summer. Did your D get in line early to register, or did she find out that timing made no difference? Any words of wisdom going in are much appreciated!</p>
<p>registration is in three groups: A-G, H-O, and P-Z. everyone from A-G would get in line (in no order) and go in to register. after that group has finished, H-O would line up and so on. the first person in line from the H-O group would go in to register once the first person leaves registration from the A-G group given that everyone in that group has registered or is registering. the registration process takes less than a minute. the line is long mostly because there are people who have not yet decided on a final schedule and still has to run scenarios. you should certainly get there early (20-30 minutes?) but know that no matter how early you are, you still must wait until the group before you is finished.</p>
<p>Givings,
My D was in the last group. They were running so late, that by the time here group started, the classes held for there time were committed to the earlier group. I hope I am being clear. In other words, group h-o went over the half hour allotted time. Thus, they opened new sections for the third and last group, while the second group was still picking. The last group were shut out entirely from the reserved freshmen sections. Because of this, she went online at home to get the freshman signature course. I hope my explanation is understandable.</p>
<p>Registration is after you meet with an advisor, correct? I am planning my fall schedule but a lot rests on which class will be open or not. My M E 302 class is full, but there has to be spots open on orientation day because it is a freshman level course. I just don’t know which class will be open, so I have to wait before planning my schedule. I sure hope the advisor has the list of the open courses with him when he’s advising me because I would hate to have my whole schedule messed up because of one class.</p>
<p>How does the registration process go? Do you sit infront of a computer and register? Or do you hand the registrar a sheet with all the courses & section numbers?</p>
<p>You register in front of a computer. All registration is online. Basically you log into UT Direct, click on registration and type in the unique numbers of the classes and that’s it.</p>
<p>And your advisor is just going to tell you what classes you should take in order to be on track for your degree. They do not show you what classes are open or closed. The architecture and engineering advisors I went to during orientation didn’t.</p>
<p>You have to do that on your own.</p>
<p>How do they expect you to put together a schedule in less than a minute like henryj223 said? It looks like I’m gonna have to use pickaprof… Two of my classes aren’t freshman level so I doubt they will open more of those classes come orientation. If they don’t, what do I do?</p>
<p>Edit: Will they remove my Texas Success Initiative bar when I attend orientation?</p>
<p>they expect you to go into the registration room fully prepared so that you just make a couple clicks and you’re done. advising is on the third day and on the night before registration, they have a last-minute advising so that you can put your finishing touches. but some people still aren’t prepared by registration though.</p>
<p>The day before you register, create several alternative schedules for yourself based on what is open at the time, and then try registering for them in order of preference until you find one that has classes you can get into that you can live with.</p>
<p>henry, I am a transfer student so its all in one day. Yeah I have two of my four classes planned out for the most part. Its just my other two classes, E 316k and M E 302, are full or conflict with the other classes (M 408M and E M 306). I really can’t switch it up because there is only one other open class for M 408M and E M 306 and they are both at the same time. It looks like I will have to wait until orientation to figure this out. Because I can only make one schedule and its almost guaranteed not to work out.</p>
<p>wait isnt it true that transfer students cant register until august 20th… so even if u go to the summer orientation u wont be able to register… am i missing something?</p>
<p>I don’t think that is true because TMT90 could register and she went to the June 15th orientation.</p>
<p>arfandada, kaise hai aap? long time no post.</p>
<p>well i went to the orientation on June 15th also and i registered for classes over there. after that you can still add/drop your classes until like july something i’m not sure what the exact date is. but you have to go to one of the summer orientation if you want to register for classes or else you have to wait until august 20 or something if you don’t go</p>
<p>I can’t help but notice that you said, “we are too late to get into our language class?” Are you both taking the class together? What’s the deal?</p>
<p>You’re responding to a four year old post.</p>
