is orientation really necassary for transfers?

<p>im really excited to be part of the UCLA family but in reality i am dreading being in school from 7am to 9pm or so and i was wondering if i could just sign up for classes at home?</p>

<p>Wow, really? It’s one day and you don’t HAVE to be there at 7am, as long as you get there by 1pm. </p>

<p>You would have to call in and they would give you a bunch of information and then finally let you enroll. I recommend going because this is the first time you get to meet/talk to your counselor and if for some reason you NEED to take a specific course, they could make it happen.</p>

<p>Besides it’s a great opportunity to meet other transfers, explore the campus some more (including the dorms, etc.) Don’t miss out.</p>
