English 117a - Frosh?

<p>I just emailed the dept advisor but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything.</p>

<p>I want to take English 117a for my first semester as a freshman, but I realize that, by notice of FYWFrosh, that it's an UD course (I didn't pay attn to the numbers =__=)</p>

<p>It's the only English class that fits my schedule atm and it counts towards one of the reqs. I need to fulfill before declaring an English major. Am I allowed to take it?</p>

<p>If you go on the schedule.berkeley.edu website and enter in the course # for Fall, there’s a link underneath that says “Click here for current enrollment information and course restrictions.”</p>

<p>According to the link:
"53 student(s) are enrolled, with a limit of 107 and 0 student(s) are on the waiting list, with a limit of 60.</p>

<p>This Waiting List will be processed manually by the department.</p>

<p>This course has no restrictions at the coursewide level.</p>

<p>Seats have been reserved for:</p>

<ol>
<li>Students with a major of English (Open)</li>
<li>Students with a major of Undeclared or Comparative Literature and Students with a class level of Senior or Junior (Open)</li>
<li>Open seating (Open)"</li>
</ol>

<p>There are no pre-reqs you need to take, so as long as the remaining seats aren’t filled by declared English majors and seniors/juniors, you should be fine. Declared majors and seniors/juniors usually get priority, so if there’s a waiting list they’ll be bumped up the line. Just pray that 55 majors/seniors/juniors decide not to take Shakespeare.</p>

<p>Hmm, now the question is whether or not I readd that class, or drop English 45B, lol…</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your help!</p>
