<p>Hello I'm an international student waiting for the fall semester to start. I received my acceptance letter from PSU really late (like way beyond the stipulated May notification date). I arrived in PSU on the 11th for the International Students orientation and am scheduled for academic advising on the 20th. Most, if not all of the international students have similarly been scheduled for AA on the 20th. Hence only a handful have already scheduled their classes.</p>
<p>I've been reading/hearing that it is impossible now to even fill up the semester with remotely desirable classes.
The thing is, I would like to be able to at least select several classes which interest me. Will that still be possible? Will I, as an international student, perhaps have a relatively greater flexibility in scheduling my classes? (Afterall, you can't have all the late/international students scooping up the leftovers?)
Sorry for the long introduction! All comments are appreciated.</p>
<p>Scarlet, don't worry. I don't know about Inter. students but I do know that seats in classes open up all the time late in the process because people change their schedules. Do not worry. Since they have Int. students come at the same time I am sure that they take scheduling into account.Students even drop and add courses the first week or so of classes.</p>
<p>It might be a good idea to go online and look at the PSU course catalogue for the fall. I think that you'll be able to see which classes have spots available and which don't.</p>
<p>Go to Psu.edu and then go to Academic. Click on schedule of courses. Choose semester (fall 08) and campus (university park). You can then search the course catalogue -</p>
<p>I dont want to scare you but i had my advising day just about smack in the middle of the regular FTCAP period and it was even extremely difficult then to find classes that worked together and didnt over lap. Finding courses you want is going to be challenging, but just be patient and i'm sure you'll find somehting you want.</p>
