<p>Is parent presence mandatory?</p>
<p>Nope, parents don’t have to come. </p>
<p>If you’re allowed a course load of 21 units, but pass 2 only allows you to register for 19, does this mean you have to wait until pass 3 to register for more than 19 units?</p>
<p>why would you ever want to take that many classes! haha</p>
<p>I don’t know how freshmen sign up for classes nowadays as I just graduated, but when I was a freshman, they had us draw numbers to see who goes first and so on within my group. Those of us who decided to bring our laptops to our pass time got all our classes without the help of the leader.</p>
<p>So if you’re afraid of not getting your classes, just stay in your dorm and sign up for classes from the comfort of your own room. (Make sure you know how GOLD works first.)</p>
<p>If I took that math placement exam how will that affect which math class I get put into.
And is there a way to double check that they received my placement exam scores?</p>
<p>Another question: Was it easy to make friends during orientation? Was there any moment you were just by yourself standing awkward? I know that some of the sessions are going to be optional, and I just didn’t want to be all by myself. And for the student night out was it organized or did you just get to roam around where ever you wanted?</p>
<p>
it’s awkward, but you meet a few good people that you start hanging out with.</p>
<p>So do you suggest bringing your own laptop? What’s the student performance thing like? Worth it to bring instruments or something like that?</p>
<p>Is there time to go and talk with someone from the financial aid office during orientation?</p>
<p>Also, are you free to leave right after you get your classes picked? Or will it take till 5:00 PM to finish everything?</p>
<p>How long does it to pick classes? Can you edit them once you get home?</p>
<p>
not really, unless you wanna miss lunch…you can skip one of the student life presentations or maybe squeeze a question in during the finaid presentation
you need to get a printout of your schedule, and you likely will need to get an actual adviser (not the orientation person) to sign you up for a class or two</p>
<p>It depends on how fast you choose your classes, assuming you get the ones you want. All my first choices were gone in seconds, so I had to spend a little of time working out a schedule I liked. And after you go home, you have 70 hours to drop, add or switch classes after orientation. I recommend doing that, because I found another class that looked really interesting after orientation and added it to my schedule.</p>
