Is SPOP really mandatory for incoming freshmen?

<p>I don't think I can make it to any of the SPOP. Is it mandatory or can I call in and tell them that I can't make it? And what happens during SPOP? Thank you!</p>

<p>I heard that you get your ID card during SPOP. Is there a way to get it after? And is there anything with signing up for classes or is it just introductions and fun?</p>

<p>You can get your ID at any time, SPOP is signing up for classes as well as fun and introductions, I was told its mandatory. It is definitely a good time!</p>

<p>thank you~</p>

<p>The most important thing you get at SPOP is advising and registration for fall quarter. If you don’t go, you’ll have to do it yourself at home online during your window. Nobody to ask for help from. My D went but cut out way early the second day. Since we live nearby, I’ll bet she could have skipped the overnight part, too, but that part is fun. They offer something like 8 times, half on weekends. And you can’t make any of those?</p>
