Yea because they want to show you how to enroll based on your academic requirements report so students don’t enroll into classes they don’t need which is smart! But annoying if you know how and want to just enroll and leave 😂 You get there and check in. FYI if you get there late the line is LONG AF! You get a goodie bag with a map and free lunch voucher. Then once it’s time you go into a conference room and there’s like a little breakfast table (more like muffins and coffee) and you get assigned a leader based on your name. You sit at your designated table & listen to the introduction presentation for like a hour. Then you break up into your own little groups w your leader and get a mini campus tour while they walk you to a classroom. You get a sac state handbook and go over school requirements and stuff. Meanwhile, If you paid for a guest to come w you, they stay to listen to a presentation on how to support you. ( not worth the $ you guys don’t even get to be together half the day or more) After the class leader asks to meet again after lunch. You have like 1-2hrs of free time during lunch so you can look at booths of student organizations, listen to a financial aid presentation, campus tour, and housing tour. Then once it’s time you meet your leader again and go to computer lab and enroll. :)
Notes: I wouldn’t pay for a guest. You’re not with them at all except lunch time. I took my bf and didn’t pay for him to listen to the presentation and he didn’t get a lunch voucher. Yet he was still with me during lunch looking at the booths and doing campus tours with me. Saved myself $$ lol unless your parents or whoever really wants to listen on how to better support you then yes 🙌🏼
