New Student Conference Registration

<p>I registered for a New Student Conference 2 weeks ago and the only one available was the August 24-25 NSC. I was just wondering if I'm at a disadvantage. Since I'll be registering for my classes after most of the other freshman, will this basically mean that I won't get as good of a selection of professors and classes? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>My friend told me that classes appear and disappear. A June session might show all the good English times/teachers full, but then in July new ones might show up. She said it was very, very strange. </p>

<p>At worst, you have a couple of early and/or late classes the first semester. Not TOO bad in the scheme of things.</p>

<p>No need to worry! They leave a certain amount of seats in the classes for each session. There will be plenty to choose from!</p>

<p>New NSC’s will be poppin’ up every now and then. But probably by this time, there will only be July NSC’s left that will be open.</p>

<p>I guess it depends on the school you’re going into, but I just rescheduled mien form August 24-25 to July 13-14, and there were a bunch of dates still open!</p>

<p>Available seats:
July 1-2: 48
July 6-7: 103
August 24-25: 11</p>

<p>Really? How’d you do that? I’m doing General Studies and it said the only available date was August 24-25.</p>

<p>After logging into Howdy and AIS, try this link:</p>

<p>I just clicked “reschedule” at the bottom.</p>

<p>Oh, and July 13-14 dates are probably open, they just didn’t show up for me as that’s the one I’m registered for.</p>

<p>Yeah I just checked. I clicked reschedule and it said no dates are available at this time and to check again later. Just a question where do they expect us to stay for the August conferences since they dont offer on-campus accommodation for the August NSCs?</p>

<p>That’s weird! Maybe the open seats are just for my major?</p>

<p>Anyways, there’s hotels in town you can stay in. I’m staying in one for my July NSC anyways, since the dorms they provide don’t really have anything but a mattress and furniture. It’d be a pain to bring pillows, sheets, etc.</p>

<p>Oh ok. That’s pretty cool. Thanks Schen</p>

<p>General Studies should have a lot of open dates. Check here for NSC dates: [New</a> Student Conference Dates* | New Aggie](<a href=“http://newaggie.tamu.edu/nsc/dates]New”>http://newaggie.tamu.edu/nsc/dates)</p>

<p>Thanks Xcellerator. Yeah I’ve checked out that page, but for some reason when I registered for the NSC on my AIS account it told me the only available date was August 24-25. I tried rescheduling but it told me the same thing. Maybe its coz Im an international student, I dont know. Thanks anyways guys.</p>
