<p>I've decided I want to drop my chem21 w/lab class and choose another class. I read in the bluebook that the first drop/add period ended july 9th and that I have to wait till orientation to talk to my advisor to switch classes. However, i read on this forum that other people have been able to switch their schedules after July 9th. Anyone know if we can switch classes or not right now?</p>

<p>Anyways, I have tried to do so with the new ACES, but its pretty confusing and the system keeps crashing.</p>

<p>SHould I just wait till orientation to switch my classes?</p>

<p>I think it may be a rule that freshmen can't switch classes until Orientation, I'm not sure though.</p>

<p>Also, I don't see much good in the new ACES right now personally. Hopefully, you academic advisor will know what to do.</p>

<p>In my opinion, if allowed to freshmen would change their schedule every two days without reason just out of nervousness or fright of the classes they currently had. It's not a bad system to have a person get to Orientation then talk to someone before changing.</p>
