<p>I have heard in years past, a course catalog was sent to students, but is everything done on-line this year? </p>
<p>Do incoming freshmen have to send in a preliminary schedule at some point this summer?</p>
<p>My answers are: I hope so and yes. I’ve heard contradictory things about the course catalog. I think an admissions officer posted on the facebook group that we would get a hard copy of the course catalog. But I have heard people say the opposite. </p>
<p>And on this website: [Information</a> for New Students](<a href=“http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Dean_of_the_College/new_students/]Information”>Undergraduate Orientation I Brown University)
It says that by Aug. 6 you have to send in a course preference form.</p>
<p>We (Meiklejohns/student advisors) were told by Advising that new students would not receive a hard copy, only the online version. However, there are a number of hard copies available on campus for reference. Sorry!</p>
<p>Man, did they change it? I got one last year. The online one isn’t too bad, though.</p>
<p>Weird, I have one for this year I got in my mailbox. I really hope they don’t cut us off next year, because I use mine a ton. It’s extremely marked up, and I can’t really do that right with an online catalog. Plus a hardcopy makes browsing for random, fun courses easier.</p>
<p>I think current students will still be receiving hardcopies in their campus mailboxes. Perhaps they wanted to save on postage to the freshmen?</p>
<p>Exactly. Current students get them in their mailboxes, but they’re not going to mail them out to incoming freshmen.</p>
