<p>... I'm input as a sophomore. I'm not sure if it was because of all my AP/IB credits or whatnot, but I'm not a freshman?!</p>

<p>Is this an error on their part, or is it because of all the credits I have?! :( This is upsetting me, because it's preventing me from taking any freshman seminars (though maybe I'm being too ambitious in trying to take a freshman seminar too, because I have 5 classes already).</p>

<p>doesn't >36 units qualify you sophomore standing?</p>

3

<p><em>shoots self</em> I have 49 credits.</p>

<p>I want to take freshman seminars, dammit.<br>
Give me seminars or give me..... space in TDMV 2. :D</p>

<p>oh man you're going to have a sweet spot for registering next quarter as a pseudo-sophomore.</p>

<p>I have 16 units, plus whatever units I get for the fall quarter...hopefully another 16-17.</p>

5

<p>hmm how many credits do you have... i have alot ... but it doesnt say that on mine....thats weird...</p>

6

<p><em>points to previous post</em> I have 49 units of credits.</p>

<p>You can check your academic history (under the academics tab) to see how many units of credits you have. :\ Grrr, I wanted to take a freshman seminar!</p>

7

<p>You still can.</p>

<p>From the Seminar booklet thing:</p>

<p>"Any remaining seats after the incoming freshman enrollment period ends will be open to other students."</p>

<p>So hopefully you will get lucky and the seminar you want won't already be filled up. Though I do think it's stupid that they're not letting you already..You're still a first year college student. :( I THINK.</p>

9

<p>Edit: :( The freshman seminar I want in into is already filled; I was hoping to get on the waitlist and somehow get myself in that way.</p>

<p>I guess no freshie seminar for me then.</p>

<p>If you're a first-year freshman with 45 units or more:</p>

<ol>
<li>Review the complete list of seminars (in the 87 series of courses) offered for the upcoming quarter.</li>
<li>Choose a seminar and note the:
1. Course subject code and number (e.g., POLI 87; MUIR 87)
2. Section ID number
3. Contact the department or college offering the seminar.
4. Provide:
* Your full legal name
* Your student ID number
* Name of the seminar
* Seminar section ID number
5. Explain that you're a first-year freshman with sophomore standing.
6. Ask the department or college offering the seminar to clear you for enrollment.
7. After you've been cleared, enroll in the seminar via WebReg.</li>
</ol>

<p>OOOH! Thanks for the information! :D 411 goddess.</p>

<p>How do I get in contact with the college offering the seminar? Just hop over to their website and email the advisers or somewhat?</p>

12

<p>You're too smart, Diana.</p>

13

<p>I'm at 33 credits. so i guess i'll be sophomore by second quarter. sweet.</p>

14

<p>Lmfao. I got owned:</p>

<p>IB HA5 Dup of AP credit
International Baccalaureate Ex 0.00 P SP06 LD </p>

<p>My IB Grade for Global HL got owned by my AP US History score :\ Instead of being a Sophomore, I'm a Freshman with 44 units! Woooo!</p>

15

<p>Ouch. 1 unit off sophomore status. But I think that's actually good. -_- No hassle.</p>

<p>@_@ I think the sophomore status is useless anyways. I heard bio majors usually take 5 years to graduate, so that means... I can start out as a "sophomore," but that means I'm going to have to be a supersupersenior, instead of just a supersenior.</p>

16

<p>Poor you. At least you know it'll pay off in the end (Darn you, hard-working Koreans). I have a viable chance at graduating in three years since Econ/Math with a minor in Finance isn't too bad and doesn't require too many units to graduate.</p>

17

<p>wait bio majors typically need 5 years?! i never heard that before!</p>

18

<p>so how many units do you need to be considered a sophomore??</p>

19

<p>on tritonlink under "academics" and then "my academic history" it only lists half of my units. Should AP scores be listed there too? Maybe they still haven't processed mine?</p>

20

<p>yes, AP scores should be there too.</p>
