If a class says “closed” on Connect Carolina, should I still add it to my shopping cart? My orientation date is next Thursday/Friday. I would have chosen an earlier date, but this particular session is only for Honors Carolina students, and it was strongly recommended that Honors students sign up for it. Would this put me at a disadvantage when it comes to choosing classes, because it isn’t an early orientation date? Or do I assume that spots will open before my orientation date and add everything to my shopping cart anyway?
How does the recitation thing work? If a class requires a lecture + recitation, how many credit hours do you get?
What is the easiest LFIT class for someone who is not athletic at all?
It says I can place out of STOR 151 with my AP Stat score. However, this course has a MATH 110 prerequisite, and I don’t have credit for MATH 110. Can I still place out of STOR?
It says I need two science classes, and one has to have a lab component. Can they both have lab components and still count for the requirement, or do you specifically need one WITH a lab component and one without? To be specific, I can place out of BIOL 101 + BIOL 101L, and ENST 202, which includes a required lab component. Would this satisfy the whole physical and life sciences requirement? As you can probably tell, I’m trying to avoid any and all math/science courses.
Is a double major with one minor extremely difficult? I’m thinking about a double major in English and Philosophy with a minor in PPE (polisci, phil, econ).
How many credit hours would you recommend taking as a freshman? 15 or 18?


I realize this is a lot. I can’t meet with my academic advisor before orientation, and I want to have a good idea of what I’m taking by then. Thanks!! :-)
