you know which courses and sections you will have (sections = which professors) by course registration for the coming semester. You do course registration for the freshman spring semester for example at the end of fall semester and do course registration for the next fall semester at the end of your spring semester. the date for the spring registration this time was March 31 to April 8. The fall one i don’t quite remember; perhaps in november. There is definitely enough time to know which professors you will have and to buy books online if you want.

(the registration is in order of seniority; seniors register first, then juniors, sophomores, freshman. Also, each class year is divided by which letter your last name starts with and students are given separate registration times according to that; for example last names starting with B,L,M could be grouped together).
