<p>whoa, I thought we could only register for up to 11 credits on the 22nd…</p>
<p>Thanks, Here to Help.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Incoming Freshmen can only register for up to 11 credits between July 22nd and August 16th. During Orientation you will be allowed to finish registering after meeting with your academic advisor, and can register up to 16 credits.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Depends on the class. For some of these classes, spots will be added immediately before the incoming Freshmen register, as a way to “save” some of the spots for Freshmen. For instance, look at the intro level Government classes (201, 203, 204). These are 40-person classes, so spots will open up in these that Freshmen will be allowed to sign up for. </p>
<p>If you say specifically what classes you are looking at I might be able to give you a better idea.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>you can register for more after you get to campus. Actually, you have to, because you need to take at least 12 to be a full time student.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>as inchoative said, it depends on the class and if you tell us we can attempt to help you out.</p>
<p>The 11X regional history classes should also have some spaces that will open for freshmen, but they are tough to get. These classes reserve 5-10 spaces for each class year. I got Latin American history fall of senior year, after I had already looked deeper into the region in some other classes, heh.</p>
<p>If there is space open, it will say so before you sign up.</p>
<p>Alternatively, there are some classes that will be full, and you will have to wait and get them another time. That’s just how it works. If they are full, you can’t sign up for them, so it would be a waste of your time to try (on the computer!!), but you can email the professor and ask.</p>
<p>also:</p>
<p>if you are taking a lab science that has a discussion section, you have to sign up for the discussion section and the lab at the same time. If you hit “submit” with only one or the other, it will kick you back an error</p>
<p>I was looking at Politics of China and Japan (GOVT 336) for GER4B…already says it has 39 people for 35 spots. </p>
<p>Thanks for answering</p>
<p>For GOVT 336, that means there will be one more spot added, at least officially. You might be able to get in via on override.</p>
<p>However, I don’t see why you’d need to take GOVT 336 your Fall semester as a Freshman. I know that there’s a temptation to take the most interesting classes you can right out of the gate, but there’s something to be said for taking intro classes first and working your way in. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to take GOVT 336 later on.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Probably. It doesn’t hurt to check with the registrar. My IB scores weren’t received for some reason, so I had to have them resent.</p>
<p>my mentor is doing study abroad so he hasn’t been able to answer my questions…thankfully, everyone here is really helpful. </p>
<p>Do freshmen spots open up for 101 language classes?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I can’t say for certain…but I looked over the different languages and the numbers seemed capped at really odd numbers, so it would be my guess that they might open some up. But don’t quote me on that.</p>
<p>where exactly would you see your scores on banner? i’ve kind of been clicking around but haven’t found anything yet. :</p>
<p>oh wait nvm… i found it. they must have JUST updated it, cause it wasn’t there yesterday</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t think your chances are very good to get in that. I also feel fairly comfortable saying that you would probably one of, if not the only person in that class taking it for a GER. Do you have any background in that part of the world? An understanding of Chinese and Japanese history and culture (East Asia 1600-present, for example) would be helpful before taking that class, as well as at least basic understanding of economics.</p>
<p>I don’t think it necessarily means that 1 more spot is opening either. I think it could mean that it is capped at 35, and the professor has already given 4 overrides.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, a lot of spots. You can look at past years in banner to get a sense for where spots will open up. It’s a little weird with languages because they switched the class format.</p>
<p>Generally, almost every 300 level government class is 40 students, so I was basing my assumption off that knowledge. It’s possible that no more spots will be added, of course.</p>
<p>hah, there are lots of spots left in calc, i see. 
there goes that excuse :D</p>
<p>oh, and i have a question… i really wanted to do my freshman seminar in french (or possibly some kind of linguistics), but they don’t have either of those this semester… do the topics change spring semester? or am i definitely stuck with doing something else?</p>
<p>They do change, but there will be fewer in the spring, so I wouldn’t count on there being one in French or Linguistics. There might be, but there might not be.</p>
<p>inchoative - fair enough, you are probably right =)</p>
<p>arasam22 - you could consider emailing the french department and asking if they are planning a freshmen seminar. Can’t hurt.</p>
<p>hey i have a few q’s: can i put off signing up for intro astronomy until the next registration period or is it gonna fill up (right now 66 spots left of 200) also if i decide to sign up for it, do i have to sign up for the lab at the same time? </p>
<p>do i have to start taking history at the 111 level or am i allowed to go to Hist 121 without ap credit?</p>
<p>is LCST 201 (intro literary culture study) a basic level course to take first semester freshman year?</p>
<p>Astronomy hasn’t been too difficult to get into. There were empty seats left at the end of add/drop for both last fall and spring.</p>
<p>HIST 111 is European History and HIST 121 is American History. They’re not progressive, and you can take whichever one(s) you want.</p>
<p>Yes, LCST 201 is an intro-level course.</p>
<p>How hard is it usually to get into comparative or international politics and some of the intro history courses (non American or European)?</p>
