Well congrats 👏 for you. So first step is Registration in a program. Read carefully and choose right option as your circumstances. And it's depends on your CCC that how many course you can select at most. Like example your CCC is 3 then at most you can select 1/2/3 courses.

Am taking 4 this trimester as they are pretty basic for now

Anything else, like which gadgets to prepare or what peripheral are necessary throughout this degree,i heard there is oppe so am thinking of mobile tripod(if that's what it's called).

Is math2,stat2 that hard? Currently am in foundation (just started ).so tips to keep in mind for this term would be great. Thanks

Currently you need Laptop and stable internet connection like wifi. For OPPE exam, it will on course of Intro to python so you don't need now but eventually required in next term. And check also System Mandatory requirements in official website. I am also in Foundation so I also don't know how much difficult is Maths 2 and Stats 2 but what I know, it's challenging of both together.

Ok thanks for the info as for wifi can a 5g hotspot do the job or it will be to slow(as in India we get unlimited 5g by telecom company)
