| Q |
What goes on at the ASC Student-Athlete Orientation? |
| A |
For student athletes, the orientation will provide a broad overview of academic requirements,
clarify issues regarding eligibility and academic planning, introduce you to the
ASC
advisors and staff, and will be an opportunity for you to meet with your peers and to ask
questions about Cal (Parents will attend sessions on student support services, academics,
financial aid and health services). During the orientation, advisors will assist you with
course selection and guide you through the enrollment system. Most importantly,
by attending the June 1st orientation, you will be able to take advantage of early
enrollment for student athletes and sign up for classes before the rest of the incoming
freshman class.

If I miss the registration deadline, can I still attend the orientation? |

Yes, you can still attend. However, space availability may be limited and if the orientation
has no more space available, you can be turned away at the door. You would need to show up
the morning of the orientation and go to the "same day" registration table. The cost of
same-day registration is $100 per person. Payment for same-day registration would be either
with cash or check. We do not accept credit cards on the day of the orientation.
Checks should be made payable to UC Regents.
