UCLA Orientation

<p>Hi guys,
which session are you guys planning to go? Is it the earlier the better? Will it be too late if I go to the mid-august session?</p>

<p>UCLA</a> New Student & Transition Programs - Transfer Students</p>

<p>From this website I found the following paragraphs:</p>

<p>For this reason, many think that if you enroll in an earlier session, you will get all your classes and if you enroll in a later session you will get no classes. This is simply untrue. There are plenty of course choices throughout the summer, fulfilling both General Education and major courses.</p>

<p>For courses where there is a “high demand”, we have in place a system whereby all students, regardless of New Student Orientation session date, have an equal chance of enrolling in the course. These “high demand” courses are ones that start out a sequence in the sciences, are taken by many incoming first year students (like English Composition courses), essential for certain majors, and/or are part of the General Education Cluster curricula.</p>

<p>Working with individual departments, we have saved seats for incoming students and divided them evenly during the summer. Does this mean we have enough seats for every single student that wants a given course? Not necessarily. But we have made it an equitable process; it does not matter if you come to the first session or the last, you will have the same chance of getting a spot in one of these courses.</p>

<p>^IS IT TRUE?</p>

<p>I know it’s true for other colleges. They open up slots for students who go to orientation for that single day.</p>
