Should we know what classes we want to take before orientation?

<p>Quick question: if we kindof know what we want to major in (or have an idea at least), should we look into what courses to take before orientation? I really don't know how the course scheduling or anything works, so I definitely need to talk to an advisor about it. I just don't know if they take us through the whole process of signing up for stuff, or if we're supposed to know beforehand.</p>

<p>Also, did anyone find out what happened with the Spanish Placement Exams? Does 104 offer them?</p>

<p>THANKS!!!!</p>

<p>yes, definitely know what classes. if you need pre-orientation help, just ask on these forums, because im pretty sure someone shares your major.</p>

<p>you don't really need to know anything...orientation is there for two reasons: acclimating you to your new school and helping you plan out your first few quarters. so yes, take a look at what classes you'll have to take and have a general idea of what you want to take fall quarter, but you don't need to have everything figured out.</p>

<p>k, cool, thanks :)</p>

<p>what are the chances that the classes you want are filled up by your orientation?</p>

<p>you'll probably get most of the classes you want, but maybe not the teachers/sections that you want.</p>

<p>so this may seem like a stupid Q, but where should we look to find what courses we need?</p>

<p>sorry if this has already been discussed before :/</p>

<p>Schedule</a> of Classes Home Page</p>

<p>this tells you what courses are being offered that quarter. as for the class required for your major, the department's website should have a page detailing what courses you need to take.</p>
