Question about IHUM and PWR

<p>I have a couple of questions:</p>

<p>Will we find out the details of the IHUM and PWR during our meeting with the academic adviser or just before that? </p>

<p>Is it necessary to have an extensive list of possible classes or will be have enough time to select after finding out if we have a Fall PWR or not? Do we really have a choice in PWR or is the subject mostly assigned?</p>

<p>I think that you'll find out which IHUM you're in when you arrive. You can look the course up in the Bulletin (<a href="http://bulletin.stanford.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://bulletin.stanford.edu&lt;/a&gt;) for a course description, but if I remember correctly, you had course descriptions when you were ranking IHUMs. I think you can probably find out the time of your IHUM by looking at the Axess Time Schedule.</p>

<p>You'll find out the quarter that you're having PWR when you get to campus. I heard that the online system that tells you isn't working yet. You'll rank the PWR courses that you like a few weeks (I think) before you start PWR. Whenever you have PWR it'll be inconvenient for planning because you won't find out your PWR until probably a few days before the quarter starts, and then you'll have to hurry a bit to pick classes that fit around PWR (or you can petition for a change).</p>

<p>Yeah last year they just gave us a paper first day of orientation that had our IHUM and PWR assignments. You rank your PWR choices like how you ranked your IHUM ones. </p>

<p>You don't need to have an exact plan on what you're taking before you get your PWR assignments just keep a few classes in mind and ask your advisor (who you'll probably meet only a few times freshman year-at best).</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies. </p>

<p>Another question: are there classes that have no enrollment limits and will remain available throughout the enrollment period?</p>

<p>^All the classes I know have limited enrollment. That said most classes would still be open a week after school starts...</p>
