Enrolled in a class but want out

<p>If I enrolled in a class but don't want to take it anymore (due to the horrible reviews the professor and class got mainly), what is the best way to go about switching? Should I put myself on a waitlist for a class right now? (Is that even possible?) Or do I have to wait to drop it once I actually get to UCLA and then try to enroll in a newly-open class? Thanks for any advice. :)</p>

<p>Aren’t you able to drop the class from URSA? You could wait for a newly-open class, but putting yourself on the waitlist sounds like a better choice. You can always drop that too if you find something better.</p>

<p>And don’t be overly trusting of Bruinwalk.</p>

<p>You can drop/add classes whenever you want right now and add up to 20 units. Some people sign up for like 5-6 classes just to keep their options open then drop the first week the one they don’t want to be in.</p>

<p>Drop deadline ranges from 2nd to 4th week depending on whether it is an impacted class or not.</p>

<p>Thanks, guys! :slight_smile: So would I be able to enroll in a class that has a time conflict with the class I’m considering dropping?</p>

<p>Yea, you can override time conflicts in ursa.</p>

<p>Thanks! But then I wouldn’t be able to actually attend both classes during the first week, huh? Hmmm…and what are the chances I’ll get off at least one waitlist if I sign up for like 5 or 6 classes to keep my options open?</p>

<p>Is there anywhere you can see how many people are already on the waitlist?</p>

<p>^Nevermind, I found it on URSA. But the class is one I’m already in a different discussion section for. So I can’t be put on the waitlist…how likely is it that I’ll get in off the waitlist for this discussion section? It has 20 enrollment cap, 5 waitlist cap, and only 1 person on the waitlist. Please let me know ASAP. Thank you.</p>

<p>Usually the top 10% get accepted in the waitlist, and it also depends on the teacher.</p>
