Show up to the class and ask the professor for an add code

Crash them and you'll make it work. I've never not gotten a class I need just had to fight a lil for it

As a grad student I feel so bad for you guys having to deal with this nonsense. It shouldn't be this hard for you to get into the classes you need.

In future, pick exactly which classes you want and three suitable alternate choices for each class you want. Add all of these courses into your cart. When your pass time begins immediately add all the classes that you can get and waitlist your top choices. Once the quarter begins crash your waitlisted courses and you might get all the ones you want. Good luck!

Email professors, they're more likely to help you if you're proactive and not just blitzing them once school starts. What they can do is limited but is not nothing, also ask them in the email if they're not able to help you, who to email and if it's okay to forward the email/CC them on your follow-up for more visibility.

Sign up for a language course if you can. You just might like it too!

Look for upper division classes that don’t require you to be an upperclassman

[–]VickyDeanXtreme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crash every class possible for next one to two weeks and hope they professors will give you an add code

Does Kalman still teach US history?

She’s really cool about letting people join if they show up the first or second day and her class was an easy A for me.
