<p>You stay in the Unit 3 dorm. It was fine, met a lot of people the night before.</p>
<p>Overall = 3/5</p>
<p>For those who wants to plan things ahead of time, I just uploaded the CalSo schedule. Most likely, it’ll be the same schedule for other CalSo.

<p>I do recommend CalSo attendees to do all of pre-CalSo activities and make sure you plan your class schedule at least for fall semester by visiting your department website. </p>

<p>You can not register yet until your CalSo day (around 4 pm ish). I actually saw some people went to Doe Library to sign up for classes and just left the entire program. What a waste!</p>
<p>All of the information given at CalSo are available online. So, the workshops are sort of repetitive to me. </p>
<p>If the class that you wanted is full, email your major counselor to get the CEC code. Make sure you mention that you’re a transfer student and CNC of the class.</p>
<p>CalSo was a fun event to meet people, not really informative though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A couple questions. Do you mean that if the class that you want to enroll in is full, you should email your major adviser BEFORE you go to CALSO in order to get the CEC code? Is this for all full classes? or only for certain classes… perhaps ones where the wait list is controlled by the professor, or only “Instructor Approval” courses.</p>
<p>Also. What does “CNC” mean?</p>
<p>CNC is different than CEC. </p>
<p>CNC is course control number. It’s a number that identifies a course.
CEC on the other hand is given by the instructor or major advisors for you, if somehow, there is still seats available, but you can’t even get on the waiting list since the wait list is full. </p>
<p>Let me give you an example. My major is IB, but I can’t declare after my first successful semester here at Cal. So, I do not have a priority over others, since I am not declared yet. </p>
<p>Here’s my screenshot from Schedule.berkeley.edu</p>
<p>Course: INTEGRATIVE BIOLOGY 131L P 003 LAB
Course Title: General Human Anatomy Laboratory (catalog description)
…
Enrollment on 06/11/10:<br>
Limit:30
Enrolled:21
Waitlist:8 (Max for this class is 8)
Seats:9 (NINE)</p>
<p>//////////////////////Even though, they still have seats available. I couldn’t get into this class at all. I wonder why… So then I click on the
Click here for current enrollment information and course restrictions… </p>
<p>enrollment information
21 student(s) are enrolled, with a limit of 30 and 8 student(s) are on the waiting list, with a limit of 8.</p>
<p>This Waiting List will be processed automatically each weekend during Tele-BEARS Phases I and II and nightly during the Adjustment Period.</p>
<p>course restrictions
Restricted to Students with a class level of Junior or Senior or Graduate Student</p>
<p>Seats have been reserved for:</p>
<ol>
<li>Instructor Approval; a Class Entry Code is required to enroll in these seats. (Open)</li>
<li>Students with a major of Integrative Biology (Open)</li>
<li>Open seating (Full)</li>
</ol>
<p>///////////////Since I can’t declare my IB major yet, I could only get into this class by taking seats reserved for open seating. The max waitlist for this is 8, and there are already 8 ppl on the waitlist, even though there are more than 1 seats available. Usually about 2/3 of the class size is reserved for the declared major, and the rest is reserved for those who has the CEC code and grad student or students from other majors (Open Seating). </p>
<p>My IB counselor told me that they reserved classes for transfer students. I do not know how many seats are reserved for us, transfers. You have to call your major advisor.
During the major advisement, I didn’t get a chance to have a full hour of going over my 2 year schedule. </p>
<p>When I signed up for classes at Calso, I couldn’t get into all of my classes. I was only enrolled in 7 units, since my anatomy lab class is full (class above). So I came back the next day to my major counselor and she just basically punch something in the computer to get my CEC code… So, now I am enrolled in 10 units and in that lab class. Yay…</p>
<p>Since most of you can’t really access the telebears just yet. I also provided the screen shot of what it looks like and the Add a Class screenshot…

<p>It’s best to prepare ahead before CalSo, so if you already know that you can’t get into the class that you wanted. Email your advisor and ask if they have reservation for the transfer students. If they do, ask them to see if you can get it in advance before Calso, other wise you can just get it during Calso, before registering. You’ll have to time to chate with your major counselor before going to the computer lab to register for classes. Absurbmike, for your last question: I think CEC only works for the full classes because the waiting list is full. Also confirm this with your counselor, it may work within my major and may not work with other majors.</p>
<p>Hey Wizrd, where are the unit 3 dorms at dude? Also, is there somewhere in particular they want us to park the day before?</p>
<p>@ myorthodontist</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch. I understand now. Luckily i don’t have want any classes that require a CEC</p>
<p>does anyone know if going on the waitlist of a class (because i’m not yet declared) counts as part of the 10.5 units we can add during calso?</p>
<p>@ncb it should tell you where to park in the email and the address of unit 3 should also be there, it’s on durant</p>
<p>@beowulf unfortunately, they count</p>
<p>damn… well if we get placed on the waitlist, is it a guarantee that i will get into the class? or is it still not certain?</p>
<p>beowulf, didn’t you have waitlists in community college? Actually… now that i think about it, i’m not sure if i had waitlists in community college. Ah well.</p>
<p>No, you are not guaranteed a spot in the class if you are on the waitlist. It all depends on how many people drop the class. With a straight forward waitlist policy, the person in the “number one slot” on the waitlist will be the first to get in the class when someone drops. If you are fifth on the waitlist than you have to wait for 5 people to drop before you are automatically enrolled etc…</p>
<p>But there are different waitlist policies. For some of em, priority is given to majors or seniors etc.</p>
<p>For those of you who needed to enroll in classes at CalSo that were full, did they place you on a waiting list? What if the limit for the waiting list is full?</p>
<p>^one of the classes i signed up for had its waiting list full…until the day of calso when randomly the maximum was raised thankfully lol, and it’s been raised once again since then…might happen to your class as well</p>
<p>Thanks for the info lomkh, couldn’t find that e-mail for the life of me…found it in a thread on this site of all places.</p>
<p>@lomkh: which class?</p>
<p>What happens if we didn’t print out the email confirmation for CalSo? I’m already in town and have no access to a printer!</p>
<p>i don’t think i ever had to show the confirmation to anyone…just gave them my name during registration lol</p>
<p>I’ve a question for those already registered…
The MANY classes are listed as, for example, 1-2pm and 2-3pm; they have the same start and finish times.</p>
<p>how exactly should we change classrooms?</p>
<p>classes are on berkeley time, which means classes start 10 min after the actual start time.</p>
<p>We’re supposed to get an email confirmation?? I didn’t get one yet and my CalSO is on Monday! :(</p>
<p>And where are we supposed to go when we first get to CalSO to register and such?</p>
