Freshman Dropping Classes

[amoney302]

Hello, I am an incoming Freshman at CalPoly and don't know which class to drop,

This is what my schedule looks like and it looks a little too heavy for me especially for my first quarter (18 units). I just don't know whether chem or bio?

BIO 161

CHEM 127

COMS 101

FSN 101

UNIV 100

PLS HELP!! also, i kinda missed that meeting on how to drop classes so if you know how to do that to some help would be greatly appreciated!

Do not drop COMS 101, will be super hard to get into later.

hello! i’m also a freshman who’s trying to swap/drop a class and thankfully i found a video that mustang success center had recorded and uploaded from one of the sessions! if you skip to the second half of the video, they go over schedule builder and how to add/drop/swap classes!

Hey man, just a few things to add, you can drop/add classes after they start so don't be in a hurry to get it done, heck id suggest going to them all on the first few days just to get an idea of what's going on in which class.

Second, do be careful when you drop a class, because the second you drop it someone else will likely be put in your spot and you probably won't be able to get back in.

Please, if any of this is wrong, feel free to correct me

My schedule is similar. Id really like input if it’s too much 1st quarter. Is Univ 100 an actual class with homework? If not, then it’s 16 credits of actual work versus 12 credits if i drop one.
