@ucbalumnus May I tap into your knowledge again? How valuable / needed is to fill out the multi-year plan on Cal Central? The reason I am asking is because I was not able to find the info on what classes will be offered during what semesters. With my son trying to graduate in two years, and various Residency and Senior requirements, - planning is crucial. We went through all requirements and he knows what he has to take (seems that 14 courses will cover all requirements), but making sure he takes the right courses during the right year is important, or he can miss some requirements (if he, say, takes some lower division seven-breadth during his second year, which is supposed to be his senior year, he may miss his Senior Requirement whch calls for a certain number of upper division units during Senior year). So I thought that the 4-year planner on CalCentral might help. We went there and tried to enter a class for Spring 2019, the class that was never offered in the Spring, and hence may not be offered in Spring 2019 with a large probability. CalCentral takes it, without warning us that there is a snowball change in hell that the student will get this class in that particular semester. So the question is, how do you plan when you do not know what classes will go when, or may be the question is how to use CalCentral to see this information if it is available (I know about checking in history: what classes were offered when, in the past).
