<p>Enrollment figures may change between now and first-year registration (on the friday of Orientation) in that some more spots may be added to certain classes for first-years only. </p>
<p>The rule that I used for myself was to try to register for classes with 10+ spaces left (just in case spots filled up), but 5 spots left may be ok depending on what class it is. Remember to have back-ups.</p>
<p>Especially for first-years, I would hesitate to purchase my textbooks before registering for classes; oftentimes, your class schedule changes throughout Orientation week so you may not need those textbooks anymore. Wait and see what classes you are registered for and then purchase textbooks – there are many websites you can buy books at if you do not want to purchase them at the campus bookstore: check out amazon/half.com, textbooks.com, and others.</p>
