Question
If I want to sign up for a class that is already full, are there any strategies I could use to get into the class?
Answer
If a class is full that you are interested in registering for, the best strategy is to remain diligent in checking the course schedule for open seats. Students can make changes to their schedules through several days into the semester, so an opening could occur at any time during that period.
Check e-Services for the "Add to Wait List" feature. Students may add themselves to a wait list for some courses in e-Services.
Try to contact the professor in person by stopping by their office, by phone, or by email to politely inquire whether they anticipate allowing any additional students into the class. This may not be possible, but the professor may be able to offer other suggestions.
If you are unable to get into the course, consult your academic advisor to understand your alternative options.
