MSW CSULB orientation?

[nxl040904]

Hi,

 

Did anyone go to the CSULB orientation? How was it?

Is there anything imperative that needs to be done before I register for classes?

 

Thanks,

They gave handouts that were specific to your track. Information on how to navigate the different systems (my csulb, beachboard). We filled out the internship applications and signed up for days to interview with the staff prior to field placement. If you're two year, you can only sign up for Monday/Friday classes from 9-5:45 Mondays and 9-3:45 Fridays. If you're three year, only Monday/Wednesday night classes and Saturday classes. Seminar will be assigned along with field placements some time in June. That's about it.

Thank you soooooo much!!!! How do we register for our adviser? I believe it is 596A? When is the interview with the Staff? Or when is yours and what date options were you given. What were the questions like on the internship application? Do you think you can write me back on how the interview went and what questions they asked? Have you registered for classes yet?

I already registered for classes yesterday morning. I believe you did miss quite a bit of information that is extremely useful to navigate through registration, the interview, etc. I'd say call the department since it is a lot of information.

Thank you for the feed back. Do you have any thing to add in regards to anything imperative for the registration process before I register for my classes?

Do you know how to choose the adviser for 596A? Can you tell me more about the interview? I already contacted them but they haven't gotten back to me.

Thanks so much!

You don't get to choose your adviser.  Your seminar instructor is your adviser in your first year, assuming you are doing the 2 year track.  You will be e-mailed your seminar class (and adviser) along with your agency placement some time in June.

The agency application is exactly the same one I filled out for my senior field placement in undergrad.  It just asks what stipends you're interested in, what your ultimate population/setting goal is, basic information, what your cross streets are, mode of transportation, what areas of the field you're interested in for your first year of placement, previous experience, and what your desired geographic location for placement is.  The interviews start at the end of this week and go through the end of next week, I believe.  I agree with caliuniversitykid - you would benefit from contacting the department.  I'm pretty sure you can download the application through the website, but they can tell you exactly what you need to do.  They may be able to do a phone interview or something?
