<p>Although planning out class schedules beforehand is a good idea, keep in mind that your sons/daughters/self might not be able to get one of the classes in, and therefore, might have to change the whole schedule around. I know I have spent hours upon hours coming up with the best possible schedule for myself only to find that one of the classes I wanted to take to be full and therefore having to change everything last minute. But there will be advisors around to help should he run into any problems. Also, you can also change around your schedule after orientation as well. And, though this is more for students who attend the earlier orientations, spots open up for classes around course registration times on the second day of each orientation. So if you went to the first orientation and didn’t leave with a schedule you like, you can try to get into the class that was full earlier by waiting by the computer around when the students at the second orientation are supposed to register, and hope you beat them to it. That’s the main disadvantage of going to the later orientations… though it shouldn’t be too big/bad of a problem.</p>
