First Year Course Scheduling
First-year schedules are designed to ensure that all incoming students begin their first semester with a full-time schedule of required courses. The block program helps students stay on track for their intended major and make timely progress toward graduation.
When creating your first-semester schedule, we consider several factors, including your intended major, any incoming transfer or AP credits, your Math and English placements, and the information you provide on the Orientation Registration Form.
Block schedules typically include Math and English courses based on your placement, a selection of Pathways: Flexible Core classes, and occasionally courses required for major eligibility. For more information, review the Pathways Curriculum and Zicklin School of Business Eligibility Requirements pages.
First-year students should plan to be available between 7:50 am and 5:30 pm for classes. Evening schedules and reduced course loads (fewer than 12 credits) may be available upon request.
Register for your Orientation date to secure your course schedule!
Register for an Orientation date through your Admitted Student Portal once your commitment deposit has been received or waived and your Math and English placements have been determined.
Be sure to complete any required Math or English placement exams as soon as possible so we can begin preparing your schedule.
