Crap, please help, I think I screwed up my TeleBears schedule planning!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>right now my telebears schedule looks like this:</p>

<p>In for sure:</p>

<p>Chem1A (4)
Math1A (4)
Geog20 (4)</p>

<p>Waitlisted (position #1, class limit 17 students):</p>

<p>COLWRIT R4B (4)</p>

<p>my telephase ii has ended, and when i checked the telebears page today, it said this:</p>

<p>

Total units: 12
Total including wait-list units: 16</p>

<p>Your current schedule is below the minimum number of units approved by your college or school.</p>

<p>You must add more classes or obtain approval from your college or school to be enrolled in fewer units than the minimum.

<p>i was counting on getting into the waitlisted class because i'm position #1, but i asked people and they said there was a chance i won't get in.</p>

<p>this means i only have 12 units, below the minimum. i also can't add any more classes because my phase appointment has ended.</p>

<p>what can i do? how good are my chances of getting into the waitlisted class? am i even going to be allowed to start school with my schedule looking like this (only 12 units)?</p>

<p>although your phase II has ended, you can still access the system during open hours throughout the entire phase (phase II ends jan. 13)</p>

<p>if i remember correctly, open hours are
mon. - fri. from 7am to 8am and 7pm to midnight,
and sat. and sun. from. 12 noon to midnight... </p>

<p>i wouldn't drop the wait listed class, just add a backup class to your schedule in case you don't get in</p>

<p>hope this helped :)</p>

<p>thanks for responding berkeleylatina.</p>

<p>Open Hours
7 am - 8 am & 7 pm - 12 Midnight, Monday - Friday
12 Noon - 12 Midnight, Saturday - Sunday</p>

<p>so these hours are the only hours i can adjust my schedule right?</p>

<p>that is correct.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>No need to panic, as long as you have 13 or more units BY the time school starts, or I think they give you at least 2 weeks of time from when Spring semester starts before they question you about why you dont have the minimum units and then the financial aid office will probably notify you as well. You don't have to panic!</p>

<p>do you guys think i'll get into my waitlisted class?</p>

<p>17 limit students, #1 on waitlist, english r1b class?</p>

<p>Mech,</p>

<p>At CalSO they advised waitlisted students to adhere to the "10% rule," which presumes that roughly 1 in 10 students will drop the class. Of course, this isn't an exact science, though I'm inclined to think you'll have better chances enrolling in a larger class. That said, you are the first on the waitlist, and I'm not entirely sure if College Writing is a course everyone naturally loves.</p>

It may not but it's a class that many people are reuqired to take, so don't plan on getting in.</p>
