Meeting with Advisors

Freshmen meet individually with their advisors on Thursday, September 3, to discuss fall term subject selection and complete Registration Forms.

ESG, Concourse, and MAS have special registration procedures. These Learning Communities distribute registration instructions to the students participating in their programs.

Before meeting with advisors freshmen should check their online freshman advising folders for pending credit and the results of advanced standing exams, the HASS-D lottery, the freshman essay evaluation, and the math diagnostic.

Completing Registration Forms

On the Registration Form the student and advisor fill in the subject number, title, and number of units for each subject. Both the student and advisor sign the form.

Credit Limit

Freshmen are limited to 54 units in the fall term. The only exceptions for exceeding the credit limit are for Mission 2013/12.000 (57 units) or for Seminar XL (57 or 60 units). ROTC subjects, which students must register for, do not count toward the credit limit.

HASS-D Subjects

If the student has been assigned a HASS-D subject through the HASS-D lottery s/he is automatically registered for the subject. Do not write the HASS-D subject on the Registration Form.
If the student no longer wishes to take the subject received in the HASS-D lottery s/he can drop it on the Registration Form.
To add another HASS-D subject the student must use an Add/Drop/Change Form. If the HASS-D subject is written on the registration form it will not be processed and the student will not get registered for it.

Freshman Advising Seminars

Freshmen assigned to an advising seminar are automatically registered for the seminar subject. Do not write the subject on the Registration Form.

Mission 2013

Freshmen accepted into Mission 2013 are automatically registered for 12.000 Solving Complex Problems. Do not write the subject on the Registration Form.

Turning in Signed Registration Forms

The student takes the white and yellow copies of the Registration Form to the Student Services Center, 11-120, by 5:00 pm on Thursday, September 3. The advisor keeps the pink copy.

Once the Registration Form is turned in, all subsequent changes to subjects require Add/Drop/Change Forms approved by the advisor.
