Orientation Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Davis

<p>Well I have been accepted to UCD off the waitlist and have a few questions.
Do you think parents should come to orientation?</p>

<p>I was accepted into the College of Engineering and have my orientation on August 7th, will this have an effect on the classes I have to sign up for? I read that you should take the earliest orientation so you can get first pick on classes but for Davis they had a system where the date depends on the college you were admitted so wasn’t sure what this would do.</p>

<p>What do I need to bring to orientation? </p>

<p>Thanks

<p>also are freshmen housing contract even out?</p>

3

<p>i read the orientation stuff and i said that i doesn’t affect what classes you get. and davis will send you an email a few days after may 6 about housing</p>

4

<p>Your orientation date most definitely does not affect your ability to get classes.</p>

5

<p>^thanks for a fast reply :D</p>

6

<p>Housing is suppose to come out in early May… so I’m guessing next week, maybe.</p>

7

<p>Hey FutureEEMajor, for Santa Cruz, were you able to find a way to cancel your SIR?</p>

8

<p>^Not yet I sent them an email
hopefully by tomorrow they reply if not I’ll call them.
I want to get this SIR business cleared this week.</p>

9

<p>^ Alright, I did the same as well! </p>

<p>Yeah, I am hoping to clear it up as soon as possible, though it was a bit inconvenient that UCSC didn’t just have a button to cancel your SIR!</p>

<p>For orientation, can you only take one placement exam? The schedule makes it seem like you must choose chemistry or foreign language…</p>

<p>From the schedule it looks like you only have time to take one placement exam. I also read on the website that now you take the math placement exam online [UC</a> Davis Math: Math Placement](<a href=“http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/undergrad/math_placement]UC”>Math Placement :: math.ucdavis.edu)</p>

12

<p>Yes, you have to choose either chemistry or foreign language. What I did is when school started up I went to the basement of Olson hall where they do the tests, and i just walked in and took the test. Took like 15 minutes and I got placed into german 21. It’s not much of an issue really</p>

13

<p>When school started? Wouldn’t you have registered for classes by then? So, did you just wait to take German until later in the year?</p>

14

<p>oh yeah, haha, i didn’t take german fall quarter. but it’s not like you can’t switch into/out of classes once school has started. and i don’t think french is impacted at all</p>
