<p>Hi, I will be attending the Transfer orientation this monday and was wondering what essential items I should bring/have with me, when I attend.</p>
<p>I also was wondering if there were any tips or advice for being the first in line to enroll in classes. Thanks.</p>
<p>Bring yourself. Good shoes. Your schedule if you've already figured it out. A laptop if you want, not necessary though, and if you bring one leave it in your trunk until you need it. </p>
<p>Umm. I think we skipped one of the lame workshops to go to Covel to figure out our schedules in the afternoon. We got there before everyone else and had no problem getting computers. I don't know if this would work, but I feel like you could just go to CLICC (the computer lab inside of Powell) and do your stuff in there, too, since all you need to sign onto those computers is your BOL id and password. Definitely try to get a computer at some point (even if it means skipping a workshop..they're pointless, it's ok) because I know that lots of people on the transfer forum were complaining about how impossible it was to plan their schedules using the print outs. </p>
<p>You actually enroll in your OC's room and they usually have the people with the fewer amount of space in their classes enroll first. If you have a laptop and can manage to pick up a wifi signal, you can enroll anytime after 8 or 9 or whenever it opens up.</p>
<p>read my engineering transer guide @</p>
<p>Are they strict about attendance? I was planning on leaving after getting the packet and checking out my apartment for a few hours, then coming back for lunch or something.</p>
<p>It's a great idea to look up classes ahead of time, and plan out tentative schedules for the day of registration. I did that, and it was a breeze for me - no confusion whatsover and I understood whatever they tried to explain. I actually got all the information I needed during the first 3 hrs of orientation. And I left early. My counselor was totally cool w/ it. You just need to get to a computer by 8 pm to register on URSA, which is pretty straightforward.</p>
<p>bfired- I would stay and do all of the stuff in the morning since that's the "important" stuff and then I'd leave during the workshop period (which is REALLY long) since that part is really really pointless. </p>
<p>And yeah. Always plan schedules ahead of time. As transfers you should have an idea of what you need to do.</p>
<p>thanks, allie. does anyone know if you could leave and come back and park w/ the daily parking pass?</p>
<p>I would think so, since it's good for the entire day.</p>
<p>just got back from orientation. for the last orientation-goers: a laptop is very helpful...you'll also make a lot of friends that way haha. the dinner is disgusting...is that food in reiber vista always tastes like?? it was like hometown buffet..but crappier and more mass-produced and microwaved. bring really good shoes (i swear i walked nearly 10 miles today). try to grab an early one-on-one orientation counselor meeting...gives you more flexibility later. skip the grad school workshop (if it's the same guy)- a real bore. i think that's it....other than the admissions office losing my smc transcript, a relatively satisfying day.</p>
<p>bfired2: I went to the grad school thing too...did you get that philosophy dude?</p>
<p>yeah- he had a pretty monotone voice. he would make an excellent professor. i fell asleep during the seminar.</p>
<p>yea two people left...I guess I should have too</p>
<p>i know the food sucked. do all the dining halls have the same food.</p>
<p>no it varies...i thought rieber's dining hall was ok</p>
<p>i liked the food....we had ours in covel dining hall though....</p>
<p>i liked covel better than rieber</p>
