Help for new (spring admit) freshman!

My son is a new spring admit freshman. He is currently attending orientation and so far has only managed to register for 10 credit hours – everything else is full. Specifically, he has not been able to get freshman physics or discrete mathematics (he’s a computer science major). He got freshman English, programming plus lab, and a film (humanities) class.

He said that his advisor told him to keep checking back online since students drop classes the first day. How realistic do you think the odds are of being able to register for those classes? He is particularly worried about the physics class. He wants a minor in physics and he is already one semester behind since he didn’t start school in the fall.

If he is unable to register for those classes, do any students have suggestions for a no-prerequisite class that isn’t full? (He’s 19, so he must take at least 12 hours to stay on my health insurance. He also won’t post on CC, so I am doing it for him.).

Thanks in advance!
