@smashace. There is not a benefit to going to an earlier FASET to register. I thought there was when I went but realized you will most likely have a heart attack/meltdown registering anyway. The was registering works at FASET is at each FASET session they only have a certain number of spots in each class opened up. The rest wont open up until the next FASET. The problems comes with at FASET they put you in to groups. Depending on your group number (which is random/semi based on major. Meaning I was with a computing group and therefore got lucky and didn’t have to wait in line for the library and did it in a computer lab) is when you register. YOU WILL NOT GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT. I can almost guarantee you this. I have never seen so many people angry/crying since registration. Haha. People were leaving FASET with 4 hours worth of credit. My suggestion is to get whatever you can that you need/want first, and then fill your schedule (meaning 12 hours or however many you want to take) with classes that you will need eventually (ie. social science credits/humanities. psychology). Phase 11 is magical and you will be able to drop what you have and get what you want if you are a dedicated stalker/refresher.

This was my experience. My password chose not to work for OSCAR and therefor I had to go through a long process that put me very far behind my group (who were all trying to get the same schedule as me). When I went to register there were no MATH 1501 spots, no ENGL 1102 spots. I literally turned in to a blubbering mess and my adviser literally had to build me a schedule that I originally didn’t want consisting of GT1000, PSYCH 1101, Health, CS 1301 and LCC 2700. I never got in to an English class but it was super easy to get in to a Calc class and everything worked out fine! A similar situation happened when registering for the spring semester. I got almost nothing I wanted in Phase 1 but filled a 16 hour schedule with random classes I would need eventually and then overrided/stalked for everything else in Phase II. I got exactly what I wanted.
