course selection

<p>to anyone who has registered before...</p>

<p>i was looking at webadvisor, seeing what classes i would like to take.. and ALL the classes for communications is waitlisted. is that possible????</p>

<p>and what is the likelihood of getting off waitlist?
i chose chapman for their small class size, however, if i can't get any classes i need then uh?</p>

<p>Waitlists are interesting. Sometimes you can get in a class the next day - other times, it may take weeks or even when school begins. </p>

<p>Although this happens sometimes, my son has been waitlisted in several classes, and more often than not got into the class he wanted. Just sign up for an additional class just in case - then drop it on webadvisor once you get into the one you want. Give yourself a buffer so you are carrying a full load.</p>

<p>You won’t always get to take what you want when you want to take it. Eventually, you’ll get all your classes in, though. I find it hard to believe, but S says that freshmen have top priority in registering for classes, then seniors, then juniors, then sophomores. I never heard of a school giving freshmen first priority.</p>

<p>Maybe that’s true next semester? Because this semester everyone registered before us. Which is fine because everyone had to take mostly freshman classes anyway; maybe that is why they did it.</p>

<p>This year the students at the UCs are getting all their desired courses and the students at Chapman are getting screwed, being thrown into bad classes they don’t want.</p>

<p>That’s kind of a sweeping generalization, Chap. The only problem classes we have been reading about are the FFC’s. That’s one class.</p>
