LTG, his FSU number was available online, and he could have gone to the ID place once it opened to get the ID before orientation. In fact, any time he was in Tally after he paid his admission deposit he could have gotten his ID card. We always post on here to get your FSU card early. Sorry you did not know.

Add drop will continue for a few days. He literally can check online every hour and see what classes he wants that are available. FSU has this first day rule that if you are registered for a class and don’t show up on the first day, you are dropped. Some lazy students register for say 18 hours, knowing they will only keep 15. Instead of going online and dropping it like they should, they just don’t bother to show for the first class. So classes pop up as open the first few days of classes. And MWF classes will show up by late W. And TTh classes will show up by late Thurs. So have him keep checking.

He will feel at home soon.

Gordon Rule classes are part of the required courses every student needs to graduation. He probably got a schedule full of Gordon Rule and gen ed classes. But he can keep checking back and might be able to pick up what he wants and drop a Gordon Rule class to do later.
