<p>I’m an international and according to my Welcome Guide, registration is on August 25th, Friday.</p>
<p>Is earlier registration possible? (missed summer orientation)</p>
<p>From some posts it seems that you can only register on Friday, is that true?</p>
<p>If so can I register for classes like a week or two earlier?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I thought that international orientation was on the 18th and that you could register for classes then?</p>
<p>Friday registration is for students that attended orientation that week.</p>
<p>Until you attend orientation and meet w/ an academic advisor, there is a bar in the registration system that does not allow you to register.</p>
<p>At this point, registering before late-August probably won’t make much of a difference. The thousands of freshman who attended summer orientation will have already registered and most of the more desirable classes will have been filled.</p>
<p>However, if there is a class that you need for your major that is closed, an academic advisor can “force” you into the class. This does not mean that they will necessarily “force” you into a class at the time that you want - only that they will “force” you into a class that you need. You may end up w/ 8 a.m and/or 4 p.m. classes w/ big open blocks of time in between.</p>
