The first week of classes in a semester is known as...

• A. Add/Drop
• B. Drop/Add
• C. Orientation
• D. Registration

Answer: (B)

This question is about the window at the start of a term when you can change your course schedule. The first week is typically the add/drop period, a short window during which you can add courses or drop ones you decide not to take, usually with little or no penalty. This period lets you adjust your schedule after you’ve seen your timetables and commitments. Orientation and registration are related but serve different purposes: orientation helps new students get to know the campus and resources, while registration is the process of enrolling in courses. Some schools label this period as Add/Drop or Drop/Add depending on the institution, but the idea is the same—the time to modify which courses you’re officially taking.
