<p>I heard there is an abbreviated FTCAP day on move-in day August 22nd for those who couldn't make it on their assigned day</p>
<p>??????</p>
<p>Wow. I don't know what classes might be left for people like you. You should definitely call them up and ask about it.</p>
<p>I agree with lil killer - call up and check about what you can do. My S had his FTCAP day on June 19 and it was very hard for him to get an acceptable schedule; many/most of the classes he had picked out in advance were already full...
You could prepare in advance by going on line and seeing which classes still have slots open...</p>
<p>I suggest you call admissions and/or the department of your intended major to see if it's possible to get some courses scheduled before then.
Schedule</a> of Courses</p>
<p>My question is, why does it matter when you take a class?</p>
<p>For example, if I had one class I planned on taking in semester 1 and another in semester 2, but the one in semester 1 is unavailable, couldn't I just changed them around by instead taking the planned semester 2 class in semester 1?</p>
<p>I don't think you understand what we are trying to tell you. Several people have tried to give you advice.</p>
<p>It is possible that every single class that you are interested in is already filled. It is possible that the classes you want to take do not have sections open at times that fit with your schedule. It is possible that you will have to fill your schedule with classes that you are not interested in at all, just to have a full scheduleand fulfill some requirements.</p>
<p>I strongly recommend that you go to the PSU website and check the class schedules for fall '08. check and see which classes and sections are already full. Try to be prepared when you go to the FTCAP day.</p>
<p>It took my son 3 hours to develop an acceptable schedule because so many classes were filled, and his FTCAP day was in June. At this point, there are likely to be even fewer openings.</p>
<p>You will be in a tentative major and you will have to take specific courses that are prerequisites for others if you want to graduate on time without overloading. For bio majors, for example, this means bio must be done in the first semester because of the number of bio courses that require the intro class. Chem and math don't necessarily have to be taken immediately because there are relatively few required courses, but they will almost force you to take them anyway. </p>
<p>Also, there may be some classes that you want to take (if you enjoy, for example, philosophy or English) and you're plain out of luck for those, esp. the ones that are only offered once per year. They're full.</p>
