<p>for the late enrollment time people like on the 3rd, is it possible to not get the warren writing? any experiences? </p>
<p>If so, i can only take bunch of GEs like SIO courses and political sci courses for my future major. no math because i got formal skills credit. feels like a unbalanced schedule,, no?</p>
<p>My enrollment time is on the 1st. But I was shocked when I went on the sixth website and found that their enrollment period is from August 25th to 30th. I don’t understand why they got to enroll so much earlier than, say, Warren.</p>
<p>oh wow really? sixth is earlier? 
i mean i guess it wouldn’t affect warren writing…but for sure other courses.</p>
<p>Uhh not sure if this is true because I’m in sixth and I’m supposed to enroll Sept 2nd.</p>
<p>Found on sixth website:</p>
<p>Online enrollment period - All new first-year students will have enrollment appointments randomly assigned between August 25 and August 30.</p>
<p>IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU ENROLL AT YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME AND NO LATER THAN AUGUST 30 AS ENROLLMENT FOR ALL OTHER UCSD STUDENTS WILL RESUME ON AUGUST 31.</p>
<p>Not enrolling in classes at your enrollment appointment time may prevent you from securing seats in classes</p>
<p>Please note you cannot change your enrollment appointment time- no exceptions.</p>
<p>i guess so … : (</p>

<p>I find that very hard to believe. Not that I’m accusing you or lying, but I just don’t find a reason for ucsd to suddenly give priority to a certain college. :/</p>

<p>That has to be a different year.</p>
<p>dud I think that’s a message to transfers. I’m going to sixth and mine is on the 2nd too.</p>
<p>“It is IMPERATIVE that you enroll at your appointment time and no later then September 5 as enrollment time for all other UCSD students resumes on September 6.”</p>
<p>message on new student gateway</p>
<p>@101921 Oh crap, so sorry, I was actually looking at something from 09! Sorry for scaring anyone.</p>
<p>this was where I got it from: [First</a> Year Student Timeline](<a href=“http://sixth.ucsd.edu/student-life/opportunities/events/welcome/nfrs-orientation-timeline-2009.html]First”>http://sixth.ucsd.edu/student-life/opportunities/events/welcome/nfrs-orientation-timeline-2009.html)</p>
<p>Hmm… how do we check our enrollment time now? I’m pretty sure mine is on the 1st, but when I go back to check (Tritonlink > WebReg) it just says:</p>
<p>August 25 - Sept. 5: WebReg is only available for new transfer and freshman enrollment. Continuing students will be able to make changes to their schedules beginning September 6. </p>
<p>Before it said “I can’t register until Sept. 1st”. Weird.</p>
<p>You can go here and click on the link (under Fall Enrollment (FA10)) saying that enrollment times are available, then sign in and it should let you choose the quarter then it’ll show you</p>

<p>lols my question was ignored !
any experiences due to latest enrollment time? like not getting the staple course, like warren writing?</p>
<p>^It’s possible. Plan for two cases where you either get it or don’t/</p>
<p>If there is a maximum number of units I can register in, how can I register for “back up classes” in case I don’t get in waitlisted classes?</p>
<p>^Short answer: You can’t.</p>
<p>Here’s how I figure out if I want to waitlist in a class or not. First, I take a look at my two options. If my #1 option requires me to waitlist, I’ll then evaluate if my #2 option has a chance of filling up. If it does, I’ll enroll in my #2 option and hope that my #1 opens up a spot eventually. If my #2 looks like it won’t fill up, I’ll put myself on the #1 option waitlist and switch over to my #2 option if I don’t get my #1. Hopefully that made sense.</p>
<p>You might also ask “How many people is too much on a waitlist?”. The general rule is that 10% of a class will drop. Sadly though, I was waitlist 3 in a section of 40, I quickly moved up to waitlist 1, and then nobody in the section dropped for the first full two weeks of the class, so I didn’t get in the class. There were other classes open though, so it wasn’t the end of the world. I’ve been a little weary about waitlists since then, but you’ll find out pretty quickly how different trends go for classes.</p>
<p>Ohh, so if I end up waitlisting in a class, but end up not getting in, I’d better hope that I can enroll in my back up classes during the 1st 2 wks of the quarter?</p>
<p>btw, thanks Kings for answering so quickly lol.</p>
<p>To the original poster: For the core college classes, they usually have enough seats for everyone (I say “usually” in a very optimistic fashion). That said, my first quarter I had a late enrollment time and was forced to take DOC (for Marshall) at an inconvenient time and lose out on a prerequisite for my major, but oh well. (I took that one over summer at a community college and it was way easier than the UCSD version so it was a blessing in disguise). hehe</p>
<p>@101921</p>
<p>Yeah. After 2 weeks, you can’t enroll in any more classes.</p>
