11.1. Closed Classes Policy

Sometimes the enrollment capacity of popular computer science classes is reached before all interested students can be accommodated. Here are some tips for dealing with such a situation:

  1. Register as soon as your time in the queue arrives.
  2. If the class you want to get into has filled, sign up on the on-line waiting list, attend the first day of class, and sign the attendance sheet. You will be notified if there is enough room in the class for you to take the course.
  3. Follow the prerequisite structure.
  4. If for some reason you are delaying applying for CS or CompEng upper division status, apply as soon as possible. In some elective CS courses seats may be reserved for declared CS or CompEng (upper division) majors and graduate students.
  5. Always have a backup plan. If you are unable to get into a certain popular class, know which other classes would still fulfill your degree requirements and be useful to take.
