<p>I added a class before the add due date, but dropped it right after by accident (after the drop due date). Now, I received a grade R in the class, which I'm guessing means incomplete or something. The time in between which I added and dropped right after is less than like 20 seconds. What can I do?</p>
<p>Talk to an adviser, explain the situation. They probably have override powers to help you.</p>
<p>Seriously, advisers at most colleges can override just about anything when it comes to scheduling. I don’t think they’ll object to your attempt to re-add a class. </p>
<p>If classes start before it’s sorted out, just show up and tell the professor you’re trying to get added into the class. Most of them will be okay with that, neither they nor you want you to end up behind in the course because of a stupid scheduling technicality.</p>
<p>I talked to an adviser. They said they couldn’t do anything because it was after the drop date. It’s just ridiculous how I’m receiving an R for the class without even have gone to one class.</p>
<p>I don’t know how this relates to your problem, but last Wednesday when I went to my music class for the first time, me and 2 other classmates were told we have to drop it if we don’t play an instrument. And none of us played an instrument. It was an advanced music class that I picked just get that one last credit to complete 12 credits, and it was available to pick so I said why not and just picked it. I’m on special probation so I could have only taken 12 credits.</p>
<p>Well, then I went to drop the class in one of the school computers, and got upset because I didn’t know what to do now. I then went to see my adviser knowing he probably can’t do anything about it. He wasn’t available to be seen at the time, and one of the people in the office asked me why I want to see him, and I explained my situation, and they said the adviser can’t do anything about that.</p>
<p>So then my last resort, which should have been the first thing I did. I went to see the “dean of academic affairs”, who has already seen me twice before from another situation I had. I explained my situation to him, and then I asked him if he can override my special probation and let me take 2 extra credits so that I can take a 3 credit class, which would be a total of 14. He asked me class would I like to take, I told him i’d like to take English Composition 101. He started looking in his computer for any available spots, and he found a spot and told me, okay I’ll put you in that one. I got so happy. This was all Wednesday. Then he hooked me up with the information of my English teacher so that I contact him and ask him the syllabus, the dean also told me to make any homework he gave that first week[I only missed 2 days].</p>
<p>But yeah, that’s my story. I hope it helped. Bottom line, go talk to your dean and be sincere about your problem. All three times that I have asked my dean for a certain academic opportunity, he said yes all 3 times. Trust me, you can go around in circles asking for favors from the staff in your school and get nowhere, your best bet is to just talk to the main guy. They are not monsters, they are people like me and you, and they will hear out your case and help you if they can. Everyone in the dean’s office was helpful with me after hearing my situation. That was really the best thing I did. And I should have done that in the summer, way before the fall semester started.</p>
