<p>just wondering, because i've been searching and couldnt' find exactly when registration begins</p>
<p>If I remember correctly you'll get your class schedule during orientation. Because so much of what frosh take is Core, you don't have a lot of choice as a frosh and so there's no registering for classes like frosh do at UC's or other colleges. There might have been something in your freshman packet that asked you to rank which humanities course you're interested in and if you're interested in one of the pizza courses. I believe the registrar places frosh in classes based on the placement tests. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>My prefrosh DD2 received preregistration material from Admission Office early this week.</p>
<p>what are pizza courses?
and what are menu courses, mentioned on the typical grid of freshman schedual they mailed us?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Pizza courses are low-unit classes where various professors come in to talk about their research (seminars for freshmen would be a good analogy). If you're interested in a field, I highly recommend you take one of these classes to get an idea of what's going on at the frontiers of research. These courses usually also provide some sort of free food at each meeting, hence the name.</p>
<p>Menu courses are breadth courses taken in a subject that isn't usually considered part of a core science education. Examples of these are introductory astrophysics, introductory geology, or introductory number theory (at least those all worked when i was a freshman).</p>
<p>so pizza courses are frontier courses?</p>
<p>are they for freshmen only? I think I saw somewhere that Frontiers in Chemistry is open to freshman and sophmore...does that mean other pizza courses are for freshmen only?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
