Before/During Orientation Tips

@HokieCrazy It’s common for students these days to bring in a lot of credits, so he won’t be alone and the advisor should be able to get him into what he needs. The good news is that after first semester schedules are done by a process called course request where they submit their preferred courses and then schedules are produced. My son has had really good luck getting everything he needs via course request, and then the add/drop process is easy if you need to change anything (search these threads for something called Course Pickle or Course Patrol, which are tools to notify you of openings in classes you want to add).
