Most courses are full???

[nicha89]

<p>Hi. I checked on GOLD and most of the classes I want seem to be full, and the other classes are almost full (writing 1 & 2, econ 1 etc.). Does it mean that people who already went to earlier orientation sessions had more choices? I'm going to the last session which is on Aug 14-15. Will I have nearly no chance to register for the classes that I need for my major? I'm so worried =(</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Not to worry! I suggest you browse the pages of the orientation web site because it has lots of useful information, including the following

Will I have a better chance of getting my preferred classes if I attend an early session?</p>

<p>No. Orientation Programs holds class space in appropriate freshman courses and distributes it equally during the sessions throughout the summer. Therefore, all Summer Orientation participants have an equal chance of getting their preferred class schedule, regardless of which session they attend. </p>
