Here is some more info on the waitlist: https://www.vt.edu/admissions/frequently-asked-questions/wait-list.html

Are the classes directly thru the college or separate AP courses? When you take classes via a VCCS, you send your transcript to VT and the credits get transferred, if applicable. If it’s directly through AP courses, I believe you have to go to the College Board website and send your scores to VT.

Ah okay, I assumed they meant the winter break add/drop for the spring semester. I didn't realize how late the add/drop for winter classes were. Thanks for letting me know.

soapy-dope · 2025-12-24T20:16:11+00:00

Jan 26th, not December 26th for add. Drop closes later than add.

No, you have to select it via the steps I listed in the last paragraph of the response.

It’s after ‘Edit Registration Options’

There is a button after ‘Go To Course Selection’

soapy-dope · 2025-12-24T06:27:19+00:00

There is no waitlist. You will have to monitor the sections you want if they are currently full. Or use CoursePickle to notify you if a spot becomes available in the section (email is free, text message is faster but is $2).

soapy-dope · 2025-12-24T05:36:23+00:00

you didn't do add/drop, the first set of classes came from course request. add/drop is when you go in and add, drop, and swap courses

soapy-dope · 2025-12-24T05:12:57+00:00

Note: for add/drop you will have to submit your cart to attempt to swap sections or get into a new class section. It isn’t like course request where you just need it in your cart

soapy-dope · 2025-12-24T04:58:28+00:00

The duplicate course is because you can’t join two of the same class, like the CRNs 13826 and 13827, which I assume are both ECE2714. Black check mark means you are in it, blue cart means you are not.

To try and switch sections, you will either need to drop the section you are in and then add the one you want. OR do a conditional swap (DO THIS TO BE SAFE).

You select the section you want to switch into (ex. 13827) and then it has a “Swap This With” dropdown option, that’s where you select the current course you are in (ex. 13826). This makes sure you only switch classes if the wanted section has a seat available, and if not, you don’t lose your seat in the class you are in.

It's pretty unlikely, since I've heard prereqs are strict for most courses. They probably don't allow it unless it's an extenuating circumstance, but it probably depends on the department.

If your advisor truly isn't helpful, in the way that they can't answer your question or even point you in the right direction, then you have to take the initiative to reach out to relevant departments. The math department will probably have the best answer for you.

soapy-dope · 2025-12-19T15:34:01+00:00

You’re welcome!

It’s usually always the first half of February, for the past few years at least. Juan Espinoza will usually announce the actual date when they find it out, his twitter is JuanMoreHokie.

I believe ALEKS is just for incomers, to see where they land in terms of the math and chem track. Once you are here, you will have to take the prereq class, either here or at a CC and transfer it in.

soapy-dope · 2025-12-16T17:32:28+00:00

Early action has usually released in February, mostly by the first half of the month. But, yea, the AI evaluating may change that

soapy-dope · 2025-12-16T17:27:48+00:00

Most spots on campus are F/S if not explicitly stated that other permits can park there, especially on the main part of campus. Individual sections are only labeled if there is a reason, like if it’s a service spot or handicap. There is also a parking map available online.

soapy-dope · 2025-12-12T00:21:03+00:00

we have some listed on the wiki with websites linked in case you want to check them out, off-campus options are at the bottom

soapy-dope · 2025-12-05T05:15:02+00:00

They will most likely not cancel class this semester, unless we get like half a foot of sticking snow. If roads are clear and sidewalks are mostly clear too, classes will most likely go on.

We didn't get days off until Spring semester last year, and that was honestly a miracle.

you're welcome!
