<p>Advisors recommend three 5-credit classes (core, class for your major, GE) for the first quarter, so you have that right.
You’ll have to wait until the week we move to take the math placement test and enroll. For math 19A you’ll need to have a score of 40/60. It looks like they still have a good amount of seats in both sessions of 19A as of now. And yeah it fulfills the MF general ed requirement.

And yeah, each course is a quarter long, at least that I know of. You can take other classes in the winter and spring quarters.</p>
