Pulled out of LSP and going to regular CAS -- whaa?

<p>Okay, so this isn't exactly what it looks like, but this is my assumption.</p>

<p>A while ago I heard that NYU pulled some students out of LSP and let them go directly into CAS. I was sure I wasn't one of these kids, but now I'm confused.</p>

<p>This morning I've been trying to register for courses and do all this other crap (I hate how NYU sends weekly mail offering you stuff that cost over $150 per item- fridge! linens! protection plan! textbooks, ugh). So while registering, I looked on the LSP PDF file that you find online. Since I want to pursue Pre-Health, I looked at the guidelines to register.</p>

<p>Well, I went back to NYU Home and logged on and went on Albert to register. I registered for chemistry (because I want to take it freshman year). Then I tried registering for the "LSP ONLY" Writing I class, but my screen gave me a MAJOR RESTRICTIONS sign and said I couldn't register for that course. I figured "what the hell" and moved on to the next open LSP-Only Writing I class, but I got that MAJOR RESTRICTIONS again. So I played around a little- when I registered for the NON-LSP Writing I class, I was enrolled. WTH?!</p>

<p>This struck me as REALLY ODD. I couldn't register for LSP-Only Writing I but I got in for the CAS Writing I? And there are no restrictions on my scheduling process. I registered for Chemistry and just 10 minutes ago for Korean. I didn't even lock in for Writing I, Social Foundations I, or Cultural Foundations I either . I'm not sure what's going on, but I called NYU's LSP office and I left a voice mail. I don't even know who my adviser is (it says I'm studying Liberal Studies when I click "Registration Status" but doesn't say who my designated adviser is).</p>

<p>I really hoped I was pulled out, haha, but I don't know. Can anyone help? Anyone have similar experiences?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>You should probably call the Registrar. If you were placed in CAS, you’re going to have to register for an orientation, and if you’re still in LSP, someone will have to remove the stop on your record.</p>

<p>It’s unlikely you were switched with no notification. I’m one of the people who was switched from LSP to CAS and they sent us an email asking us if we wanted to do it or remain in LSP. Since you enrolled in LSP I’m pretty sure they can’t transfer you to a different school without your consent.</p>

<p>I’ve heard of a few people getting the major restrictions error. I think that means it has to be overridden by an advisor, so you should call and find out about that. Also, there is no CAS writing I class, CAS kids take Writing the Essay. The CAS Writing I is only for kids in HEOP, so unless you’re in that program that’s odd and you should definitely look into it.</p>

<p>Yeah, thanks. I just realized I am still in LSP, which still bothers me.</p>

<p>Thanks anyway!</p>
