Another Orientation Note

For those of you who have later Orientations (especially during Week 3):

There will be classes left for you to take. If you're in the College of Science, you have already been batch scheduled and, unless you have AP scores that would change that initial schedule, you will be pretty much set. You may have to choose an elective to get you to fifteen credit hours, but other than that, you will be okay.

If you need to be picking electives, know that Virginia Tech has holds on sections of classes and will release them as time goes by so that all incoming students are able to get the courses they need, be it requirements or core classes. So the class you want in particular (say, Floral Design) might not be open, but another class that fills a core requirement that you might want to take (like Knowledge and Reality) could be.

So relax, enjoy your summer, and know that there will still be classes for you to take when you get here.

Also, about the Foreign Language Requirement: this will show up on your Hokie Spa as "Not Filled" until at least September. It's entered manually, so just check Hokie Spa periodically throughout the semester. If it's finals time and it hasn't been corrected, then go visit your dean's office.
