<p>Yeah, it looks like the codes ending with "T" imply that you're awarded elective credits.</p>
<p>Well, today I checked ISIS and my AP's are there! I have 27 credits by way of AP exams. I'm a little lost at one does with them. Can I lighten up my load for some semesters? Can these count towards the "Area Requirements" of CLAS--like Soc. Sci., hum., hist., NW persp., Sci and Math? For example, I got credit for Calculus 131, and I realize I can go onto 132, but is that ok in the "area requirements? Could I take 122 instead of 132? I'd get credit for 131, then take 122? I hate math, and though I tested out of 131, I really don't want to take 132.
I certainly DON'T want to graduate early. I know that I can advance to higher level classes, and perhaps I will, but is there a way to use this to one's advantage later in travel abroad or senior year</p>
<p>I wish I could answer your question about the calculus. I, too tested out of 131, and don't particularly want to take 132. Can we just take 122 instead? Also, Jimmyjam, now that your AP scores are listed on ISIS, do you know how this will help you in terms of registration for spring classes??
My AP's aren't listed yet, but my question is this: if you already have 27 credits through AP's and then you take about 15 credits fall semester then technically you'll already have about 42 credits by end of fall; will you get priority in registration??<br>
How do you know, come time for spring registration, that you get to register before the masses of first year student (if indeed that is true--and it may not be)?? Does someone e-mail you, or tap you on the shoulder?? Most students at UVA probably have a ton of AP credit, so is it really an advantage???</p>
<p>Thanks PWP for responding, but I guess we're both left up in the air.
For those who have been through this ISIS stuff, I can see in the COD that courses that are full are listed in a soft light grey coloration, like 22/22-light grey. And, courses that are still open are posted in normal black type. I know Spanish 202 is very hard to get, but on COD right now many classes are listed 22/WL in normal black type. What does that mean?? Clearly they are full, but why aren't they in that light grey coloration?
Does that mean that when ISIS opens they'll accept from the waitlist? Can I even get on a waitlist right now?
Also, I e-mailed a Prof. weeks ago about wanting to take his class. There's been no response at all. Should I e-mail again, or call? Or, just show up first day of class and try to force add, or whatever the term is?
I'm not bitter/negative in the slightest, but my schedule right now really is awful and I seriously need to know what I am doing when ISIS opens up. I'm just merrily trying to get my ducks in a row. I'm gonna buy a fridge today--go small or big?? Thanks in advance</p>
<p>the WL stands for WaitList. It may not be full, and since there is technically "unlimited" space on the waitlist, that's why it's not grey. Once ISIS opens up you have to place your name on the waitlist for that class and then the teacher will contact you if your name is pulled. So, tomorrow is your day.
As for the prof, many prof are actual human beings (I know, scary!) and take vacations and such. I remember I had one guy that had an email auto-reply that said "I'm a human too, and thus, I am on summer vacation. I will begin to contact students two weeks (exactly 14 days) before the first day of classes. Go enjoy your own summer". So, that's why you may not be getting a reply. Or, they're leaving you to the waitlist. If you don't get off, try force actioning or go visit the professor. But don't call and I wouldn't badger them with emails until we get a tad closer to school.
Just give it all a chance, as you probably will have a sucky class or two first semester, but just try to maybe focus on clearing up pre reqs or taking classes that somewhat interest you. I'm sure you can find a middle ground between the two :) and who knows, that crummy class may end up being your favorite!</p>
<p>Fridge: all I suggest is buying one with a separate freezer. Everyone I knew who had a freezer within the fridge hated it. Frozen food (popsicles, dinners, etc) are amazing, and you want the extra fridge space.</p>
<p>For registering classes after the first semester, you will meet your advisor and talk about what classes you want to take for the next semester. Your advisor will give you a card with the time and date you can start registering for classes on ISIS based on how many credits you have. Some time in the future, AP and IB credits will no longer count so be aware.</p>
<p>Also, you can take MATH 122 if you have credit for MATH 131.</p>
<p>One more thing, if the classes you earned credit from AP credit correspond to classes that fufill Area and Major Requirements, then you have earned credit for those requirements.</p>
<p>Oh thank you, thank you UVAMalex09!!! That's just what I wanted to hear!!
And Shoebox, thank you too. I didn't know about the freezer in the fridge thing creating such unpleasantness for the college world. I shall go "big" and get the one with the separate freezer.
What's the phrase?>> "Go big or go home"!!</p>
<p>yea just keep in mind that anything you try and transfer after you matriculate(ie this fall, when you take your first class) will NOT count for any requirements barring something you get preapproval to transfer for your major. ie if you took a science class NEXT summer somewhere other than uva then it would NOT count towards your sciences requirement, but ap credits DO count and (summer) courses at UVA count as well. you can't pre-fill your writing requirements either. the ones that are 'area' and not 'competency' are the ones ap credits help out with, though ap language credits do count. no one will make you graduate early, do what i do and take light semesters. or instead of having to take western civ, you will get to choose some fun elective. other than that there really is not too much difference. it is true that many students have ap credits, but you will at least get to register a day earlier or something in the spring.</p>
<p>Thanks Hazelorb; you've come through again!</p>
