<p>Be happy you’re not a transfer student! My orientation date is 8/30…I don’t know if there will be any of the classes I want by that point!</p>
<p>I received a letter on my UCR email (whatever it is called) stating I was not accepted into the impacted learning community…SO is this good or bad?</p>
<p>it means you weren’t accepted into the learning community you applied for. since you applied for it, im assuming you wanted to be accepted, in which case it’s a bad thing.</p>
<p>like i previously said (well typed), i have orientation on july 15, the same day that is the deadline for official transcripts, do you think i can take my official that same day of orientation & deadline for official transcripts?</p>
<p>It’d be better just to have your school send them in now. If you take them the day of your orientation, you’re going to miss half the first day sitting in the undergraduate admissions office waiting with a ton of other students for a counselor to clear you.</p>
<p>&robotkat: really?? i think i’m going to mail them eventhough my school already supposedly mailed them?? they don’t appear in myucr documents page so i’m just going to go ahead & mail them “again”…it doesn’t matter if they’re sent twice right?</p>
<p>If your school already mailed it, they most likely did. UCR takes a while to update the status. Last year, mine showed received like a day or two before the due date.</p>
<p>Well, no ****. Of course I wanted to be in it but is it a major lost?</p>

Not really a big deal. Your learning community classes generally arent too hard to get. Its the english and breadth courses that are and they arent covered by the learning community anyways. I opted out of it spring quarter, mainly cause they gave me a bunch of terrible professors.</p>
<p>Oh and you wont get the supplemental instruction sessions. But, the supplemental instructor generally hold non learning community sessions you can attend.</p>
<p>I think official transcripts have to be sealed and signed from your school. I asked my high school to send them a good month before orientation and they never did. UCR does take while to update those things, but if youre really that concerned go and make sure your high school sent them.</p>
<p>Thanks ‘Robotkat’ & ‘himself’ for answering my question! P.S. To all of
you incoming freshmen like myself, have your health requirement form submitted online as soon as you can! make sure it’s before your orientation days! (:</p>
<p>does anyone know if we’re going to be able to talk face to face to our academic advisor/counselor on orientation day?? because i really need help on how to have a concentration in my major: sociology.</p>
<p>Yea, they sort you out by majors and throw everyone in a room with at least one academic advisor and your group leaders to help figure out your schedule. Usually you don’t focus on concentrations until your junior and senior year.</p>
<p>thanks robotkat!</p>
