Freshman Fall Semester Courses

<p>All classes have a faculty adviser who will act as your academic adviser until you decide to pick a new one. </p>

<p>None of the pass/fail options count towards your distribution credits. And neither would any other class taken on a Pass/Fail basis. I would encourage you not to worry about distribution requirements that much when selecting your first semester courses - instead looking for classes that will let you explore potential majors. Just about every class you take for a grade (the exception being some ExCollege classes) will fulfill a distribution requirement. From past experience, I know that most of your distribution requirements will take care of themselves as you take the courses that sound interesting to you. For the ones that won’t fulfill themselves (like a math class if you don’t like math or an arts class if you’re me) just keep your ears open for interesting classes in that area as you go along rather than taking math 5 in your first year just to knock out one of the requirements.</p>
