Is your student in CMNS or LTSC?
Generally spots are held for incoming freshmen to register during orientation, even in August.

However, bc CS is LEP, it may be that your student may not get into CMSC133

see the conditions listed in Testudo
See Testudo
Prerequisite: Must have completed or be concurrently enrolled in MATH140.

Restriction: Permission of CMNS-Computer Science department; and student must have earned a 4 on the AP Computer Science A exam or a satisfactory score on the CMSC131 department placement exam.

Credit only granted for: CMSC131 or CMSC133.

Also restrictions for CMSC132
Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C- in CMSC131; or must have earned a score of 5 on the A Java AP exam; or must have earned a satisfactory score on the departmental placement exam. And minimum grade of C- in MATH140.

Edited to add: if your student meets all the conditions with AP scores, my guess is your student will be able to take one of these.
