<p>I was just at orientation and I schedule my classes for fall; however, no one explain what happens in regards to how or when you schedule for future semesters. Do you have to speak to a counselor or can you just schedule your own schedule on PAWS? In addition I was thinking about doing the winter intersession, do most people do it or is it really for people who are trying to catchup on getting credits to graduate on time?</p>
<p>You schedule your own classes through PAWS. Scheduling for Wintersession is open now. You can check when scheduling opens for different sessions and intersessions on the Academic Calendars. </p>
<p>There’s really no need to schedule intersession classes in my opinion. The people I know who have taken intersession classes have used them as catch-up classes or to retake classes they were failing. Though, I’ve seen a few people take an English class or something to nature just to knock it out of the way (so they don’t have to spend an entire semester in a class they really don’t like).</p>
<p>additionally, the date you schedule is determined by the hours you’ve earned, essentially giving priority to older students.</p>
<p>here’s the fall 2009 list as an example:
PH1B Tue Mar 31 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried > 121
PH1C Wed Apr 1 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 106-121
PH1D Thu Apr 2 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 97-105
PH1E Fri Apr 3 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 89-96
PH1F Sun Apr 12 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 82-88
PH1G Mon Apr 13 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 74-81
PH1H Tue Apr 14 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 66-73
PH1I Wed Apr 15 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 60-65
PH1J Thu Apr 16 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 55-59
PH1K Fri Apr 17 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 48-54
PH1M Sun Apr 19 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 38-47
PH1N Mon Apr 20 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 32-37
PH1O Tue Apr 21 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 28-31
PH1P Wed Apr 22 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried = 22-27
PH1Q Thu Apr 23 5:00 p.m. Semester hours earned + hours currently carried < 22
PH1R Fri Apr 24 5:00 p.m. Undergraduate transfer students, re-entry students, and current semester
undergraduate degree candidates. </p>
<p>Honors students schedule earlier than they “should” though.</p>
