<p>No, the sequence is 3 - 2 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 1.....</p>
<p>Yup, you'll be in each window twice, and then senior year everyone registers at the same time.</p>
<p>wait...what? I'm probably just being stupid and missing something, but could you explain that?</p>
<p>Explain what?</p>
<p>Whatever window you are in this semester, you move one window over easch semester thereafter in a cycle for your six semesters not registering for senior classes. Then, for senior classes, it's Gooooooooooooooood morning seniors! at 7AM for the whole group.</p>
<p>You know, computationally, I am not entirely sure why there's not just one window per class to begin with...</p>
<p>so if I'm 2nd window now, I'll be 1st next semester?</p>
<p>Yup. That's what I was...it's nice to not have to be third window as a freshman.</p>
<p>Same - I personally think it's the best because you never wind up being the last of the last. When you ARE 3rd window, you always have at least one other entire class registering after you. The only pitfall is, if you wind up studying abroad fall of Junior year (which most people do and I most probably will), you waste one of your 1st registration windows on that semester. Bah.</p>
<p>How do freshman find out which window they are in? What is the 49S exactly?</p>
<p>Does any course with S in the number meet the freshman seminar requirement?</p>
<p>yes, it does. However, unless you are prepared to do a whole ton of work, I would recommend sticking to the freshman-only seminars. Mine was especially interesting, but not too difficult. I had some friends who did the upper level seminars that are meant for juniors and seniors, and they often felt very outpaced by the upperclassmen and stressed by the mountains of readding material.</p>
<p>It's also really common for freshman to take an English 26S seminar to fulfill the requirement, though. Those are pretty freshman-heavy.</p>
<p>okay. I'm a little confused.</p>
<p>a) Where can you find your window?
b) can someone list some of the freshman seminar classes or a website with them?</p>
<p>in most areas of study, there is a seminar with the number 49S... this is the freshman seminar.</p>
<p>For your window, log into ACES, go to your bookbag, and then in the left column there should be a link that says "when can I register."</p>
<p>When I log into ACES I dont see the 'bookbag' option :</p>
<p>it's under registration... you'll probably have to answer questions first about your emergency contacts, permanent address, etc.</p>
<p>I don't think the ACES website is available to freshman for the purposes of learning your window until June 5.</p>
<p>oh right... good call</p>
<p>to find out your registration window go to dukepass.duke.edu. In the top right-hand corner you will see a place to log in using your net id and password. After you log in, your home page will come up and on the right-side of this page you will see a checklist of things you need to do/have already done. One of the requirements is to register for classes, and next to that it will tell you when you will begin to register for classes. If it's July 11th you're first window, July 12th is 2nd window, and the 13th is the 3rd window.</p>
<p>if this doesn't make sense, I'm sorry...I'm really tired.</p>
<p>13th....damn being waitlisted.</p>
