Generally, colleges assign an advisor to you during an orientation (that may change at the end of the semester). They always help sign you up for gen eds that will go with your major, if you have one in mind.
Did you take math and English placement tests yet? If so, you will need to find out what level math/Eng you need to enroll in.
I think your first step would be is to call the college Admissions office and ask them who to contact.
As far as choosing a major — look at the catalog or online and figure out what you want — then take a look at the list of classes. Your first couple years you should be in one – two numbered level courses (i.e. Math 101, English 220). The number gets higher as you move ahead in your college career.
If you haven’t, apply for financial aid. Always make sure that is the first thing you do after Jan. 1st of each year. You will be at the top of the list to get work-study and such. However, you and your parents MUST have your taxes completed in order to file a FAFSA. But check with the colleges financial aid office to find out if you are needing anything there.
Do you plan on living in the dorms? WIll you have a roommate? Figure out what you will need to bring with you to live in a small space for a year.
Best of luck.
when i started, i took general classed first that will transfer with you. okay, never take 2 major classes in the same day/session depending on how they allow u to make ya scheldue. example, dont take ap english and ap anatomy together. major courses require lots of focus ant attention and that will caue an overload and u should take them according to how u can handle the classes. try taking some electives in with maybe a major course to baklance out ya scheldue and still have time for your other classes and everything else u will have to do
If you are a first year student, choosing classes will be part of your orientation process. You will meet with an academic advisor, talk about possible majors and breadth requirements, and select classes for your first year. Don’t worry, they will walk you through the whole process.
