I am very confused about how the course selection works. We followed instructions about choosing courses and putting them in a “shopping basket”. My D is a business major and there is a clear listing of the classes she should take each year so she followed that. She picked the actual sessions of each class that gave her a schedule she liked and they all had seats available. She even waitlisted heself for one that is currently full. So are you saying that she won’t actually end up with these classes once she meets with her advisor? Why would she be given a different schedule than the one that she picked based on the requirements given to her by the business school?

Also, is there an opportunity to speak with your advisor prior to orientation?

And if they don’t get the final schedule until orientation, then it seems like there isn’t time to shop around online for discounted textbooks?
