<p>hey i read in the student handbook that classes can be added/dropped within the first 2 weeks of class. i am unsure about a language class and a 1-credit class (mainly problems with my credit limit), so are we allowed to walk into lectures to see if we like the class? the language class that i am interested in has a cap of 15 people, so wouldn't it be rude if i'm not registered for the class and i just walk right in? </p>
<p>any help will be appreciated. thanks!</p>
<p>I attended Italian Elements (Cap = 15 peeps) for 2 weeks before adding it. I told the teacher before the start of class what my plan was, that I fully intended to register, and she was fine with it. Just ask the teacher, “hey, I’m not sure if I can take this course, do you mind if I audit it for 2 weeks?” It’s a great idea to audit an extra class that interests you for those two weeks in case you need/want to drop something so you’re not behind.</p>
<p>hey thanks! what if i end up not registering for the class (bc i can’t take 19 credits) even after auditing for 2 weeks? wouldn’t the teacher be upset?
i’m thinking about taking the class 2nd semester but i don’t want to have any issues with the professor!</p>
<p>Just tell them you’re not sure you’ll register, but you might take it next semester because your schedule is pretty full…</p>
<p>Are you an engineer?</p>
<p>nope i’m in arts&sciences. i just have 16 credits as of now and even though the advising page says i can contact my adviser to add a language class, i’m pretty sure 19 credits is out of the question.</p>
<p>wait like they’ll let you overload with a language? i wish i knew about that…</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure the limit is 16.5…</p>
<p>you can go slightly over 16.5 credits. before, i had a one-credit class, leading me up to 14 credits, and i called my adviser to add a 3-credit language course, bringing my total up to 17. however, i just dropped those 2 classes for one 3-credit class that applies for my (intended) major. of course i can never make up my mind so i just want to see those classes during the 1st 2 weeks in case i end up really liking them/i end up hating the class that i’m signed up for.</p>
<p>First semester, they will let you overload with a language, since I took 16.5 first semester with a language. After that, if you have above a 3.5, they will let you exceed 16.5 credits.</p>
