<p>Hello, I just have a question about ISIS</p>

<p>My background: Freshman for Fall 2011; Intended major - Biological Engineer; minor - Family, Youth, and Community Sciences; career goal: Pediatrician</p>

<p>So I was wondering if seats become available for Fall registration as the summer progresses and people start going to preview because the people/administration in charge of registration start opening up seats - if that's what they do...</p>

<p>For example, hopefully due to IB scores, I'm pretty confident I will get to place out of CHM2045 and CHM2045L, so I want to take CHM2046/CHM2046L, however, when I try to find courses that are still available on ISIS as if I'm registering for courses (I know I can't register yet since I haven't gone to preview; I'm just curious what courses are still available since I am able to check), I get "There are NO MORE sections of this course which you may add to your schedule" when looking for CHM2046/CHM2046L. </p>

<p>Since I'm majoring in biological engineering, I kind of have to take CHM2046/CHM2046L and I really want to take it in the fall, but no courses are available (I definitely don't want to take CHM2045 because I'll be spending tuition on something I have already learned). I mean, there are 27 CHM2046 courses and they can't all be gone, can they? So I was just wondering if something happens at preview or during the summer that opens up seats in the courses - and not just for CHM, but for other courses like FYC3001 (a course in my intended minor since ISIS says there are only 2 spots left :( ) or LIN3010 (to fill my Humanities req but only 4 seats left...) or PSY2012.</p>

<ul>
<li>I know that I can't get every course I want, but I just want to put myself in the best position to graduate with my major in 8 semesters rather than the recommended 9. I mean, there has to be some spots reserved for incoming freshman with specific majors and minors, right?</li>
</ul>

<p>Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question; I might have missed something...</p>

<p>Oh yeah, is it easy to get a job at UF (past work-study), ESPECIALLY during the summer, like a busboy, a researcher (since i want to become a doctor), or ANY job - literally anything - since I can't really return home for the summer due to lots of reasons. I just need to support myself throughout the whole summer...I'm literally on my own once i leave here (literally on my own right now in terms of informational stuff, so sorry if all these questions sound obvious....) Thank you! :)</p>

<p>Hopefully… </p>

<p>I also plan on taking CHM 2046… Based on the threads I’ve read from last year, it seems as though if your coming in with lots of credit, chances of signing up for classes like CHM 2046 are higher the sooner your preview date is</p>

<p>There are seats reserved for incoming freshmen who need to take popular classes like bio, chem, calc, ect. They reserve a certain number for each preview session so even if you have a later one, you should be able to get into those classes. To my understanding, that’s only for really popular freshman classes. I don’t think they do that for other less popular classes.</p>

<p>But even if you don’t get the class you want during preview, you can get it later on during drop/add (the week classes start where you can drop classes you don’t like and add other ones). Tons of seats open up during that period so be on the lookout for that class you really want/need.</p>
