<p>Phase I has come. Although I am an entering freshman, I know what classes I am going to take next fall. Should I register my classes or wait for the Calso? Still, I don't know how to register classes. Would you like to tell me about it? Thank you.</p>
<p>You will have to wait until CalSo to register. You will need a date and time that will be given to you; they will teach you how to register; and they will give you an advisor code (aka "AC"). Some colleges require the AC each semester even once you get your date and time; others you don't. </p>
<p>So short answer, for you today is NOT the day you can register for classes, not you and not most people who are already students, so don't feel left out.</p>
<p>Can someone explain what the phases are and who registers in each phase? Is there a benefit to registering during Phase I instead of II?</p>
<p>The tele-bears web site has a good writeup on all this. </p>
<p>Basically, there are three time periods for registration that occur sequentially.</p>
<p>Phase I allows you to sign up for a max of 10.5 units of classes.</p>
<p>Phase II is when you complete the rest of your semester requests - to the minimum for full time students of 13 up to whatever level you decide to take that semester.</p>
<p>The adjustment phase is when people shift around and try to finalize a workable schedule.</p>
<p>Everyone gets a chance to register in each phase. The priority level (based on class standing or other special considerations) is what determines when in the Phase you get to register.</p>
<p>Prioritize your classes as best you can -- choose the first 10 units (likely 8 + a PE class) that you NEED to have on your schedule, and plan on registering for those classes in Phase I. Classes that fill up quickly are your likely targets, and you'll probably need to ask current students which of your classes are likely to do that in order to maximize your time.</p>
<p>Like Undecided said, prioritize. Once you've got a schedule figured out (and put together some alternate schedules just in case), the courses with the small class size are the first to go, and the ones with later time slots go faster than the ones that are early in the morning.</p>
<p>But the problem is how I am able to register my classes through Internet.</p>
<p>The mechanics will be explained in detail during your CalSO. You are going, aren't you?</p>
<p>Even if you do not attend CalSO, you will be emailed details of how you go about registering for classes. There's time yet, so don't worry.</p>
