<p>That website you listed is only for searching for classes, NOT enrolling. It’s basically an easy way to search for classes without logging in your UCSC account. If you want to enroll, you got to login your portal and search/enroll via your student center.</p>
<p>Maybe you had the option for “open classes” only? If you mean Bio 180, that’s an upper division class and I’m not completely sure if you can take it yet (also it’s not offered Fall 2010). Also it’s much easier to search by department. I don’t believe Bio 20A (intro bio series) is offered fall quarter, so maybe take chem 1A? Then you can also take an easy G.E class + core class.</p>
<p>Is there a way to find out which courses will help towards a certain major (i.e. Biology)? I searched Biology and came up with a list of courses for graduates.</p>
<p>BIO 20A is Cell & Molecular Biology and the prerequisite says Prerequisite(s): Chemistry 1A and 1B.</p>
<p>The easiest thing to do is to do a Google search on " -yourmajorhere- ucsc." That normally takes you to the department website and then you should look at the undergraduate program. I don’t know if you are interested in a BA in Bio or a BS in Bio, so here is the website that lists the courses needed to complete your major:</p>
<p>You’re only an incoming freshman, so the only courses that you can basically take on that list are calc, general chem, bio series, and physics. So maybe take core, chem, and a GE?</p>
<p>Hey Golfer, some new questions about enrollment.</p>
<p>So I’m looking at courses from my portal, and so far I’ve signed up (well, put in my “cart”) Psychology 1, which says its taught by 1 of 3 teachers (Seymour, Cooper, and one other)</p>
<p>Am I unable to specify which professor I actually want to be taught by in this case?</p>
<p>Also, I tried searching “Fall 2010 Crown” but crown apparently doesnt have any courses listed. Unless I searched for it wrong?</p>
<p>Just trying to get a heads up and all. I head to orientation on the 21st, so a bit anxious about class scheduling and all.</p>
<p>Edit: Right now, the psych class is in my cart. Should I wait to press the enroll button until orientation?</p>
<p>Usually when a course lists more than 1 professor it doesn’t mean you can pick between them, but that they are all teaching the same class. I once had a comp engineering class which listed 2 profs where 1 prof taught the first half and the other did the 2nd half (there are other combinations though).</p>
<p>Make sure you have it set as “All Classes” and not just “Open Classes.” From what I remember, our advisors automatically signed us up for a core class. Maybe that was just for College 10 students or for students in 2008, but I know the advisors told us this during orientation. </p>
<p>If you press the enroll button now, it actually wont allow you to enroll in the class. Your official enrollment time is during your orientation, so you’ll receive an error message if you try now.</p>
<p>Awesome. I put down Intro to psych, math 3, and 11A (I assume I’ll be in math 3, but hey, who knows). I figure the math, core, and psych class make a full schedule.</p>
<p>Hopefully all this crap is cleared up quickly at orientation. I hate those situations where you wait hours to fix a small issue that takes 5 minutes >.<</p>
<p>Oh, you can take core, chem 1a, and math 3. You didn’t really talk about any math classes, so I just assumed you would be in 11A or higher. I used to tutor for math 3 and the grades for that class are usually high GIVEN you do your homework and study. So it’s a pretty good class for an incoming freshman to take and it’s probably recommended because you don’t want to fall behind in math. I don’t have any experience with chem 1a, but I heard it’s pretty easy depending on your professor.</p>
<p>That should be an ok load. One of my friends took Core, Chem 1A and Math 3 (precalc) her first year and she dealt with it fine. However when you sign up for Chem 1A if you can avoid it do not take Schleich he is a horrible professor and you will not learn anything in that class at all and may have a tough time with it like I did.</p>
<p>When you go into classes like Precalc, Intro to Psych, Chem 1A, etc, do the professors expect you to have some knowledge of the subject already? Less so with precalc (you need alg/trig know how), but with those other intro courses, I can honestly say I lost a lot of my chem knowledge since taking it sophomore year in high school. Do they start off with the basics or is it pretty fast into the heavy duty material?</p>
<p>Guys, what if you are undecided? I still don’t know what I’m majoring in. I’m thinking of business right now? Do i have to take the math placement test in order to major in business?</p>
<p>Usually it will list on the syllabus what is expected from you. Classes that say “intro” don’t require any previous knowledge, but it’s always helpful. Chem 1A does require some chem knowledge as it’s not technically an intro class, but not too extensive. Chem 1P is for students who didn’t really get a strong background in chem in high school, so some take it before taking 1A. I believe there is an online self-assessment test to help you decide.</p>
<p>UCSC DOESN’T have a business major, but they do have a business management economics major. You will need to take the math placement test if you are interested in either business management economics or regular economics (if you haven’t taken AP Calc). If you are undecided, then take your core class (required), an intro class in something you are interested in (economics?), and maybe a GE you think is fun.</p>
<p>I noticed they had a list of GE classes for previous years, do they or will they have one now? Or is that something they show you when picking classes at orientation?</p>
<p>So are we supposed to have our classes already picked out by the time we get to orientaion? I think I’m behind on all this info because i haven’t ben abe to activate my slugmail.</p>
