[quote=Anonymous]Usually, based on what the kid indicated as their intended program of study, the university will preemptively enroll them in the basic 101 level courses (or next course level for those who placed out). During orientation, they'll break off into smaller groups by major where someone from the university will present each student with their tentative schedule and explain the classes. They explain the track and course they need to take for that major and assist with making any adjustments the student may want. Keep in mind, incoming freshmen are getting the leftover slots, which means LOTS of 8 am classes and Friday afternoon classes. First semester schedules are not fun or ideal and usually just have to be dealt with until they're able to wake up at the crack of pre-dawn to pick their own classes for the Spring semester. (I say all of this as someone who was an Orientation Helper at my University where I helped incoming freshmen with their schedules). [/quote]
