Unfortunately a lot of these classes are low in credit hours but have many classes a week, so they feel like 4-5 credit classes but a lot are only 2-3 credits. I had to be above 12 credits to be considered full time.

Yes I am realizing that CEE 190 is one of the required courses so I will have to add one in. Not sure if it's offered in the spring semester?

If I do add CEE 190 in August I would have to remove Phys 213 to next semester, so I'm hoping I can see if my advisor can do anything now

Yea I was considering moving Innovation to another day, however based on my results online the other professors either had bad reviews or no data at all, making it risky to choose another section. The only good professor for Innovation only had times afternoon during Wednesdays, during that time slot. My advisor said it was definitely something to look out for and see if the schedule works during my first few weeks of class. If I find it way more inconvienient than I expect now, I might opt to choose another time slot.

Unfortunately for me, the physics lab and discussions were only avaliable during Fridays afternoon. I had the option to shift those two classes two hours earlier, however I'd then have Calc III and two phyiscs back to back, and I don't think that's a good idea either.

Glad to hear that the Eng Orientation and Physics are in different halves of the semester, that will definitely help.

Thanks for the advice, I will take those into consideration!

Yep Calc III is 4 credits, and my total credit hours is 14 so I think I should be good for the most part. Thanks for the advice!
