Answer 1

you can go to www.collegeboard.com for details or you can ask your school guidance counselor

Answer 2

It varies depending on college. A lot of freshmen register for classes and take placement exams during orientation. You'll most likely get a schedule a few days before classes start, definitely try to familiarize yourself with the campus before classes start. At least the basic locations (where the science classes are, etc.), no one expects to know the campus by heart right away.

Answer 3

You are done with the online portion of enrolling.

Honestly, you could probably do more on-line if you wanted to, but why would you want to?  Go to the college and talk to the Admissions staff.  They will tell you the next step to take.  Walk around the campus a little bit while you are there and get familiar with it.  If you know the rooms that your classes are to be held in, find each room so that you won't look like a lost freshman on your first day.  Go into the library and look around.  You will problably be spending some time in there.  Just...generally get 'friendly' with your new school.  It's not like a high school.  No one is going to ask you for a hall pass.  You can poke your head in most any room.  

Explore your world, man.  This is where the fun begins!!

Answer 5

Is this for fall semester?  You should have been notified by the school about when you register for classes, etc.  My daughter had an advisors appointment by telephone over a month ago to figure out her class schedule (we live ten+ hours away from her school) and has finalized her schedule.  You had to check on line to see if you had been accepted? You should have received an acceptance letter or at least an email from the school. Is this an on-line school? Community College?  I suggest you get in touch with the school and get the right answers from them as anything we tell you on Y!A are just guesses.

Answer 6

New entering students usually have to show up a week or so early for Orientation.  During this week, all these things you ask about will be done -- placement exams, counseling, course selection, registration.
