<p>Does anyone know if there are any seats in class sections "held" for incoming Freshman their at registration time? My "S" has already noticed class sections are closed, especially more advanced languages. He's afraid he won't be able to continue his language sequence with classes closed.</p>
<p>I know my "D"'s university always reserved a few seats in classes for incoming Freshman - if not used then they went to the waitlists.</p>
<p>He's aware the early classes and classes @ MVC are likely, seniority has its privileges.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes, most classes end up closed by the time you register. However, even the upperclassmen change classes around which ends up leaving open spaces in each class. Besides, you always have the first day of classes to ask the professor if he or she will let you in their course. Freshman registration has open seats saved in equal number, as a-m and q-z last names have different reg. dates. At the end it works out fine.</p>
<p>Freshman year is certainly the worst for registration because they go last. Your son can keep checking the schedule after he registers because some students may change their schedules over the summer which may result in some openings. Be sure he is ready to get started in the reigstration process as soon as registration opens. My son has found that strategy to help him be successful in getting the classes he wants.
As multitasker said, he can always talk to the prof when classes begin if there are no other options.</p>
<p>My worst semester was the 1rst definitely! It gets better and better, you’ll finish your requirements on the dot!</p>
<p>How receptive are the Professors to student add-ons?</p>
<p>I did not even think about this. Wow! Thanks for bringing this up CJ Madison. I guess Freshman year is a period of patieeeenceeeee on registration frustrations. As Multitasker says, I’m sure we will all be able to take the classes we want at some point of the four years.</p>
<p>Many professors are not receptive beacuse of “fire regulations” that don’t allow more than the number of student’s assigned to join. However, many students, during the 1st week, drop the class, o perhaps they (myself included) didn’t click with the teacher or the syllabus, or something becomes available that conflicts with the class schedule, leaving available spots in almost every class. The most receptive professors are the ones whose class size exceeds 100.</p>
