Closed courses?

<p>There's a course on GOLD that really interests me but it's "closed." I tried to add it and it told me to enter an approval code. Can I enroll in that course if I have an approval code? If so, how can I get the code then? Can I just go see the professor and ask him for it? I'm thinking about emailing the professor but I don't know what I should write lol. Thanks</p>

<p>I'm guessing you're trying to add a course for winter quarter. I don't think approval codes are available until the start of the quarter, but feel free to email the prof to check.. or stop by the department :)</p>

<p>My experience is that "closed" might mean the dept doesn't want more people to add the class right now (to give preference to those in the major/seniors who want to add the course), some details about the course are being worked out (such as time/location), or the course might end up being canceled.</p>
