I currently have 15 credit hours worth of classes in my shopping cart but in some groupchats people are talking about how they are trying to fill up 25 classes into their cart.
Just to make sure how many classes should I have in my cart by the time orientation comes around? I initially thought that I would only need to make my schedule for the fall semester thus the 15 cred hours.
i’m guessing they are doing that in case courses are closed by the time it gets to them. Good to have alternatives and I’m sure the adviser will guide you.
I would definitely recommend adding backup classes. Once you arrive at orientation, you’ll get a specific time over the course of the two days when you are set up to schedule classes. The earlier times obviously get first choice. It is not uncommon for someone scheduled towards the end of their session to not get their first choices. 25 classes provides you lots of cushion and allows you to explore some different class options.
Also - not sure where, but I do remember seeing in an email or something similar to do the 25 classes.
Good luck!
