<p>I am setting up this thread to help organize questions other soon to be 1st year students have about getting things set up before we begin school.</p>
<hr>
<p>I received this link in my UVA email about next steps in the process however it is not working.</p>

<p>You should also check the sticky thread, it has a lot of advice as to what to bring and so on, in addition to posting more specific recent items (orientation, emails, SIS, whatever else is new this year) here.</p>
<p>This link details everything students need to do before enrolling this fall:
[University</a> of Virginia | Summer Orientation](<a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/orientation/summer/]University”>http://www.virginia.edu/orientation/summer/)</p>
<p>I have a question! </p>
<p>I am looking through the available classes for the Fall 2011 semester. I am interested in taking a certain intro level anthropology but the into level class is full. I am wondering does this mean that it will be full for ever or that its closed as of now but more seats will be added come orientation time? (the class im talking about is ANTH101 with Douglass)</p>
<p>this same question applies to ALL other classes that show that the class is either closed or is on waitlist</p>
<p>Sounds good, I’ll take time to read through Sticky’s advice, I did sign up for summer orientation I just need to pay my fee to reserve my spot =P.</p>
<p>@Eagles</p>
<p>you are way ahead of me lol, I am finalizing the schedule I want, can you tell me where to go to see what classes are full etc? And I am sure they will open up once we go to summer orientation.</p>
<p>Yes, for first year classes the full capacity is not listed. They 1) open seats slowly over orientation sessions to give everyone a fair chance of enrolling and 2) when it is a free for all in mid August you can sign up then when more seats will be available.</p>
<p>You can browse classes on Lou’s List - just google it</p>
<p>Eagles – ANTH 1010 will likely add seats given that is an introductory class. You can search Lou’s List for prior semesters and see that ANTH 1010 has always had more than 50 seats a semester. My bet is that Douglass’s section will add seats since the lecture hall listed is a larger room (see ANTH 2320 which has at least 80 seats in that same room). </p>
<p>That said, when mapping out a potential schedule, all first years should have many back-ups in mind. Only the common first year classes will add seats for first-year orientations – usually the introductory classes in each area. Also, even though seats are added for each orientation, those seats may fill before you have your registration appointment.</p>
